SOPHIE POWER!

I have been an Oxfam supporter for a while now. Their most recent campaign is all about enough food for EVERYONE across the globe, & how OUR actions can help with the equality.... It's called GROW! 

Anyway... Oxfam recently asked me if THIS cheeky little blog would feature in their little booklet to promote the GROW campaign to festival goers. Of course I said yes!

Have a little read! 

FOOD POWER

Enjoy :)

Getting My Broad Bean Action On

At about October time last year I planted some broad beans straight in to the ground, as I had read that if you do this at the optimum time they will grow over winter & you can get an early crop of beans. I thought I'd give it a go, nothing to loose, right? They're not supposed to start flowering for a month or so yet, but LOOK!

It's always very satisfying when you're testing something out & it actually works. It's even more satisfying when your neighbour also tries it out, & yours look better (I'm not a nasty person, but there's a bit of me that's very smug right now...).

I hope I haven't jinxed it, but hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have some broad beans to chow down on! Excitement!
