Here in the North of England, we have been having a bit of a heatwave. The rain that came this last couple of weeks was so very welcome and has made everything in my garden grow phenomenally! Weeds too!
In this video I'll show you the work that my Garden Team were doing in the pouring rain in my Front Woods. We have a long term plan for this area. Watch this space!

The recipe for Gooseberry Fool is very simple.
Top and tail the gooseberries and give them a good wash. In a saucepan add a good handful of caster sugar to the berries with a glug of undiluted elderflower cordial. Heat gently for 10 minutes. The berries should not be mushy. Taste and adjust the sugar if you like.
Fold this into lightly beaten double cream, one small pot of the stuff.
That's it. Serve with little biscuits, shortbread traditionally, but I had amaretti biscuits. Delicious!
