  1. This looks a nice, simple recipe now that summer has finally arrived in the UK. I have pretty much most of those ingredients already in, so I might just give this a try this weekend.

    It will probably rain!

    1. Thanks. I'm glad you like the recipe. That's great, we would love to know how you get on.
