<\/a>We had all five eggs for breakfast<\/p><\/div>\n
The two oval shaped eggs on the left were Cinnamon’s last two eggs before she took a break and the three round eggs are Freckles.<\/p>\n
For lunch we had a ham and tomato sandwich with tomatoes from the garden. For Sunday dinner I had some sliced pork and gravy in the freezer from a previous Sunday roast. For only two of us, there is always to much meat no matter how small a joint I buy, so I make double the gravy and freeze half and freeze half the meat for another day.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The veg we had for Sunday dinner<\/p><\/div>\n
I roasted the last of the early potatoes and a courgette and we had the first proper helping of runner beans. The runner beans are late this year but as the dwarf beans have recently finished and now the runner beans have got started this has actually worked out quite well. The runner beans should continue until the first frosts.<\/p>\n
After we had eaten the breakfast eggs Apricot laid her first egg after a ten day break. Her eggs are really tiny but as we had eaten all the eggs there were no other eggs to compare it to. Instead I thought I would compare it to a strawberry as her eggs are also a similar shape to a strawberry.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Apricot’s eggs are tiny<\/p><\/div>\n
They may be tiny but at least it means we now have two girls laying. It was very satisfying to have three meals made up from our own produce.<\/p>\n
There are loads more courgettes coming and lots of tomatoes now ripening. We are heading for the moment when we have a glut and I may have to cook courgettes and tomatoes together for the freezer. They can then be added to future dishes. I am not complaining as this is the best year for the veg plot for many years. Long may it continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
For Sunday breakfast we had bacon and eggs with the last of the little girl’s eggs. There has been a slow down at the moment as Rusty is moulting and not laying, Cinnamon had her second, one day broody spell, … Continue reading
