It's soup time! I would live on soup if I could. Most soups are nourishing, the flavour improves each day and they're so easy to make. With each passing day, you can add something different like croutons, hot bread, dumpings or fresh herbs so instead of being boring, your soup is comfort food during cold and dreary weather. My favourites are pea and ham and beef, barley and vegetable, which the vegetables photographed above are destined for.
Hanno and I went for a drive during the week. We've been in lockdown since March 3, only going out to do the grocery shopping in the next town, so it was good to have a look around and see what was happening. I was surprised to see a lot of cars on the road but parks, playgrounds, cafes, hotels etc were all closed. These will partially open again next week but as Hanno and I are in the over 70s "vulnerable" category, we're happy to stay at home. We have plenty to do here and there are so many birds visiting us. What are you doing? Are you going out or have you worked through the lockdown?
