Happy eating

This afternoon a friend came round and helped me pick blackberries from the hedges opposite the farm. We made a good team as Helen is tall and between us not many escaped (I'm normally stuck with the very best fruit hanging just out of my reach). She also bought me the gift of a lovely yellow courgette (my yellow courgette plant having made a nice slug sized snack earlier in the year). I turned it into supper with dill from the front garden, a few runner beans, a sprinkling of peas, a couple of spring onions and a tiny bit of smoked salmon that was waiting in the freezer - summer happiness on a plate.
