After

Christmas richness I crave "simple" food. What could be better than a boiled egg with toast?

I'm not one for detoxing, but I do try and listen to my body and right now it's shouting out for lots of fruit and vegetables and meals that satisfy and don't leave me sluggish and heavy afterwards....
In the photo you will see an old saucepan. It once belonged to Stella's Granny "Burpham" and I can never use it without thinking of her and the simple rural life she lead, the sort you now read about in Country Living and envy, but of course with no heating, no modern luxuries that we take for granted it was a very hard life; even in Summer the old flint cottage felt chilly and damp, but beautiful it was with vegetables growing in the front garden - just like something from the pages of a Beatrix Potter story book. I love the way memories can be triggered by something as ordinary was an old aluminum saucepan.
