Lemons!


Lemons, lemons and more lemons. Who would have guessed just how versatile those little yellow fruits could be when used in each dish of a three course dinner? Congratulations Helen and perhaps a little help from her friend @ Google. All three dishes were most interesting and refreshed the palate with each tasting. Soup, never had it like this before and so too mains and dessert. To think that that lemon tree is on its last legs is sad; for the abundance of fruit it has supplied this year has been quite extraordinary. Buckets of lemons have been picked while still more hang on the tree. With all the rain we have had I am not sure how much longer it can retain its heavy load. Sharp thorns await hapless birds so they are deterred from its lemon bounty.
