Weekly Love: the one where I figure what to do with a tray of 35 nectarines
1. Beautiful English lavender in Bishops Park. | 2. 35 beautiful, ripe Spanish nectarines for £3 (!!) from North End Road Market – we’ve eaten a load, given some away, made jam and there is even a nectarine and brown sugar shrub (using this guide) going in the kitchen. | 3. Fantastic nacho coated chicken by temper for Action Against Hunger at Taste of London – a full post of everything we ate coming soon! | 4. The very best thing we ate at Taste of London (which also won best in show): Hoppers’ 42 Hour Roast Goat Roti. | 5. Exploring the tropics in the temperate house at Kew Gardens. | 6. Enjoying an incredible ‘Buzz Lightyear’ flavoured homemade gelato (parma violet with chocolate coated popping candy pieces) at Fabio’s in Hitchin.
