Kitchen Garden Forum

We are sat here enjoying a glass of our home-made wine and nibbling on a few hazelnuts gleaned from trees just across the road from our house (we've lived here thirteen years and I had never noticed those trees before!!!).
Our meal is gently cooking in the slow cooker, and includes our own potatoes, onions, spinach, not to mention a huge bowl of our own raspberries to follow.

The simple things in life are sometimes the nicest.
Cheers!

Dear Bert, how right you are, the simple things in life take a lot of beating.

Yes, there is nothing more satisfying that eating a meal that you have either grown yourself, or foraged for. When we seem to live in a world that has become obsessed with material issues, sometimes connecting with the simple things in life has a wonderfully liberating feeling. And when so much of our food is imported from abroad, it's a nice feeling to know that at least a tiny part of your life is still under your own control.

Home made whipped cream, that takes a lot of beating! Cheers, Tony.

And cheers to you, Mouse, hope you enjoyed your meal

Primrose, you summed up my feelings exactly, in better words than I could.

Much wisdom in appreciation of the simple things Bert, you are so right.
