Does anyone else feel a little cheated with Easter being so early this year? We’ve got ages to look forward to anything else now. I blinked, it rained, thundered and Easter was over! But from a food lover’s point of view we can now envisage, almost smell, the lovely home grown produce of spring and summer in the not too distant future. Thank goodness!
