The courgettes and squashes have been coming on a treat thanks to the alternating wet/hot (32 degrees this afternoon) weather that we have been experiencing recently. I made a courgette and tomato chutney the other evening and tonight, Andy has made a lamb and yellow courgette curry (the homemade/freshly ground spice mix is top secret!) which, as you can see, is very colourful.

We also collected another basketful of pears...

...which will be transformed into 'blushing pears' which is a rather nice pickle that is an ideal accompaniment to things such as cold turkey, game pie and mature cheeses or paté - funnily enough, it should reach full maturity at Christmas!
