Did you ever hear of a chef named Bill Paterson? He passed away a few years ago, but he is responsible for one of the best meals I have ever enjoyed. I was told he was famous in France in the 70s and 80s. One quick question. Did you ever hear of a chef named Bill Paterson?

I am very jealous of your garden, reminds me of how I grew up. As per your question about "The Big Apple" and jazz musicians - maybe. http://www.salwen.com/apple.html The first time I remember it being called that was in a Stones song. Out of the blue NYC was the "Big Apple" again - even on the local tourism ads. Off to fix dinner! Would have been the perfect spring day here if not for the rain.

Not that there will be any beans to photograph if theses gale force winds don't stop! Ladies,

Will we require a horse and cart? There's always a sort of poetic beauty in your photos... I am drawn to the colours of the bean seedling against the brown earth. Thank you for sharing them with us. Cid Miles,

Funny you should mention broad beans. On the gardening phone-in a m an complaint about his broad beans being eaten by mice. The response was that mice just love them and all one can do is plant one for the mouse and one hopefully for yourself. Good luck :) PS. I am just picturing Cid and I strolling through your meadow and orchard in our floral dresses and hats clutching a glass of Pimms :) Elsie Miles,
