Lovely allotment and such wholesome food.

By the way, I can see why you have the name Elvis on here; you really look like him!  Nigel Slater says in the clip that you gave up rock and roll to concentrate on your allotment.  Were you a professional impersonator, Rachel?

Excellent Rachel... just thinking of going out digging some parsnips and leeks now it's thawed out. OH will have to do the digging though as I've dislocated my ribs...
