Another sunny day here at Elmsted, so far we have managed to escape any rain, the weather is just right for my guests. Over the past few days we have had several Europeans, French, German and Dutch. My guests, having spent a wonderful day at Leeds Castle yesterday, have headed off to the beach today, they were looking for a sandy beach so I suggested St Mary’s Bay on the Romney Marsh about 25 minutes away.
Maria brought some delicious fresh apricots home the other day so after eating quite a few, decided to make some apricot jam, and I have to say I am pleased with the results and hope my guests are too.
There is an abundance of local fresh fruit available this year, the Garden of England certainly knows how to grow it well. There are delicious strawberries, raspberries and juicy cherries and the apples will not be far away – can’t wait for an English apple.
