First Pickings & Elderflower Cordial

Got back from holiday on Wednesday to find the lettuces in the garden had grown like mad, they are huge and only just fit in the colander.  We have loads of them so I think we will be having lettuce every day for a while.  Also  we had these few Strawberries ready, I have had to net them this year to keep the birds away from them. The eggs are from my grandaughters chickens and lovely they are too. So on the menu tonight is mushroom omlette, salad and strawberries and yogurt for afters.....yum!!!

 This big fat strawberry was just begging to be eaten..........by ME!!!!
 It will all be washed down with a cool glass of my homemade Elderflower Cordial made with sparkling water and a slice of lime.
Just wish I had bought some of those posh bottles with the stoppers from Ikea the other day! not to worry recycled bottles dont affect the taste and its very MSE :)

Thankyou for looking xxx
