A whole host of good news, I have an urgent date with a roast Sunday lunch, locally sourced, the New Forest is famous for its livestock. Then there was the great Southampton performance on Saturday showing Man City how to play football. Friday I saw The Beat again at The Railway pub in Winchester, just a brilliantly sweaty night out. The house is still toasty warm and we’ve only had the central heating on for 9 days during that snowy cold snap so far this winter. Lost a few pounds on the soup diet over the last few weeks, but might put a bit back on today with a bit of luck.

To keep up the positive vibes I am not going to discuss the damp atmosphere which may dent the excitement of the upcoming spring frenzy or the slightly scary mood of the growers group meeting I attended last week. Instead let us rejoice in the abundance of ground water and that the quality of meat in frozen lasagne has probably improved with the reduction of mechanically retrieved ‘beef’ in its ingredient list.

Roast spuds beckon.
