Cats in the Kitchen, Flora in the Garden

It has been a week of dreadful weather, once again I was seduced by the previous week's hot spell. Every year I forget that I should not really trust any warm days in May as the start of the summer. This week it has been heavy rain, day after day and a couple of days of strong winds, causing me to fret about my young plants in the garden, and my poppies that are about to burst into flower. I have been spending time in the kitchen baking and filling up the freezer. Mainly using up my rhubarb crop making such things as rhurbarb and ginger crumble. Also spent a couple of delicious afternoons, snuggled in a chair reading.
