Things we love about January!

Its the middle of the marmade season! Citrus fruit are at the peak of their season right now so check out our marmalade and lemon curd recipes to make the most of it for a winter treat!

Time to buy your seed potatoes. It makes us think about all the delicious things we can make with them when they are grown!

You can also plan the purchases of vegetables and flowers for the rest of the year.

Signs of Spring! Why not pick a few bundles of tight budded hazel catkins and branches to make a bare twig arrangement. Watch the catkins unfurl in the warmth of the house and give you the hope of Spring.

Soupy goodness! Check out some of our warming winter soup recipes and serve with hot fresh bread for lunch after a weekend walk.

Winter birds. Look out for magnificient flocks of fieldfares in orchards with remnants of apples or on berry laiden hedges.
