Fields of Gold

Looking across to Old Radnor - sun shining through

You don't have to travel far into the countryside at this time of year to see the "fields of gold" (I do love Eva Cassidy singing that song) but to have it right on our doorstep and all around us is a bonus right now.

 A new line in the shop which is going well

Hindwell Gold

 Jess and John make the most amazing oil seed rape, it's fantastic for cooking and on roasted vegetables and I have it on very good authority that it's wonderful stuff to cook your chips in.




 I wish that you could smell the lanes right now, the smell of the oil seed rape is really lovely I can't really describe the smell but I love it. I walked through it to take these photographs and the sound of the bee's working too and the birds singing makes me realise just how lucky I am to live in a countryside like this.





My "LITTLE" shop

Well it's Easter Monday, it's pouring with rain and it's a Bank Holiday but are we dis-heartened, noooo.
I thought I would tell you a little about my shop which has all the essentials like milk, welsh butter, welsh cheeses, welsh yoghurts from Village Dairy, the creamiest yoghurts I have ever tasted.  Also the lovliest bacon and sausage from Marston Meats of Pembridge.  We have free range eggs from Owen Hardwick and the essentials like tea, coffee, sugar, washing up liquid etc, we have local charcoal from "Goods from the Woods" in Herefordshire (as seen on Countryfile")  We have homemade chutneys and marmalade.
