Spring has sprung and suddenly the many layers I’ve been wearing for what has been too long now can be stripped off.

One thing I’ve learnt from this blog is that you shouldn’t be afraid to try something new.

I thought I knew reasonably well that it was from a land that needs the hearty warmth of pumpkin in the depths of winter.

I was wrong!
