And Another Sunday Lunch

We had expected our friend Richard to be at our place for lunch yesterday.  Alas - events intervened and he was unable to come.  So he missed out on rare roast beef from the new farm shop we've found not far from our place. He missed out on Yorkshire pudding made with eggs from our hens. He missed out on boiled new potatoes, peas, broad beans, baby zucchini and carrots from the garden and the allotment. And he missed out on an onion, garlic and herb gravy, also with ingredients from the garden.


And he missed out on this


I happily admit I didn't make the bread (which came from a local bakery, via the dairy) nor did I milk the cow for the cream (also came from the dairy). But we did grow the blueberries, the raspberries and the blackcurrants which made up our summer puddings. And very delicious they were too!
