This is our first full season with an Allotment. Last year we got a very overgrown allotment quite late in the season and spent a good deal of time digging it out. We did get a fruit cage in and a huge amount of tomatoes – that was largely it.

Last night we were treated to a very special meal with some good friends visiting from New York. They took us to the trendy St. JOHN restaurant right near the Smithfield Market. When you enter the place, you are in a very informal space with a bar and bakery counter with a small set of ovens behind. The entire place is very industrial feeling with white washed walls and floors. Sort of hovering above this informal space is the restaurant, with windows looking down into the bar area and the street.
