So off they went, SHE and old wicker the norty pair, to the village where it is not only wombly but also very windy.. YOU would know it as Wimbledon.
And true to Wimbledon form, the two friends, MY mama aka HER and Goaty Mum aka Debbie of Ellie's Dairy, were soon hanging onto the rafters of poor gazebo which was being buffeted very hard by nasty gusty wind.. such a windy day today and stronger winds forecasted for Sunday.
Next to Ellie's stand was a pie stall, Lordy lulu, ooh, such pies. Apricots in frangipane, tarte tatin, quiche Lorraine. HER mouth watered but not today, it wouldn't survive the journey SHE was going on.
Next month, the fourth Saturday in the month, she will treat Debbie and HERSELF to one of these pies, a truly very, very Scrummydumptious pie.
After collecting Goaty ingredients, a pack of diced meat, tubs of Goaty Curd, SHE bade Goaty Mum farewell, "see YOU next weekend (Ellie's Dairy is at Parson's Green Farmer's Market on the first and the fifth Sunday every month).
A train to Clapham Junction, a 295 bus to Fulham Broadway to collect fishes from nice Mr. Fish, lots of fruity-tootie from Karen and kilos of granulated sugar with which to do HER very special treats! NO, not for ME, for special folks aka friends. I get the raw stuff which I lurve.
Then home, I was not expecting HER, I thought SHE was gardening.. so caught 'napping'.. aka fast asleep.
But what did SHE have in the blue bag? Ohh.. a fish that I have not seen for the longest time.. I wonder if YOU can guess who it was? They have many arms and could, I suppose, write as they have a vital ingredient for writing!
Drum roll please for Mister Sqiddley-Diddley.. he could write because he has ink! Which is why SHE brought a couple of the BIG guys today, SHE wanted their ink for a sauce.
The cherry plum tomatoes are delicious sweated with garlic, those tiny sweet peppers and yellow zucchini, heat turned up and squid flash fried, then heat turned down and the ink mixed with the juice of the vegetables. With fresh tagliatelle, what more could YOU want? Not a lot..
SHE busied HERSELF with hair, clothes washing, cooking and before YOU know it.. it was time to go to b-e-d.
I hope YOU have had a happy day wherever YOU are? WE did and WE plan to have another one tomorrow as well..
SHE had such a nice surprise last night, a call
from a very dear friend who lives in New York
City, they talked and realised that Tom has not been to London since 2003! Don't feel too sorry for him.. WE know he has been on a couple of amaazing trips to Italy, Florence in particular!
And then they realised that SHE has not been to
New York since 2007! SHE used to be there every month, how HER life has changed!
Now SHE is MY mama and a gardener!
