Now I know I rant on about the pleasures of growing your own food, but this weekend was a case in point. My parents have raspberry canes in their garden, and we had raspberries for lunch on Sunday with a french lemon tart. Those raspberries tasted so much better than the ones you buy at extortionate cost in the supermarkets encased in little plastic trays....if you have the space, get out and grow some!

While I'm on the subject, check out the National Summer Fruit website (the collective voice of the British soft and stone fruit industry...)
