Best of all is their use as an infusion, the French call tea made with lime 'tilleul' and it is quite superb. Miles Elsie,

Sadly we seem to have lost the knowledge of what can be eaten around us. Bring it on to the national curriculum! Elsie Miles,

What is it about the Mediterranean that brings on the irresistible desire to purchase yellow patent (or worse still, multi coloured) shoes? The force can only be overcome by actually trying a pair on and realising that they neither fit nor look fabulous on a pale Lincolnshire foot :) Such was my dilemma this week, only to be repeated on the next trip no doubt. You may be pleased to know that the aforementioned Jesus sandal remains mainly in the Spanish plains and not in my wardrobe. What next then I hear you say.... well, there was a white patent scholl which only escaped due to it's ridiculously high cost (I could have eaten several meals at El Bulli for as many euros!) and the fact that a lime green pair currently resides in my private collection :) So, to round off, it was all patent and no suede... lots of rubber heels (most disconcerting I thought and obviously why Spanish women look so abnormally bouncy :) ) On arrival at Amsterdam airport I narrowly missed the urge to purchase a pair of decorative wooden clogs ... just thought your readers ought to know because they must all be wondering ... :) Cid p.s. bag and frock report by request only :) Brace yourself for the culinary report tomorrow.... Miles,

The idea appeals on so many levels. Obviously I need to learn a bit but I wonder just how much fresh and free food there is within walking distance of my house - presumably quite a bit Rod Miles
