For all the chucking out that has gone on in the last week I have a confession to make.  When I popped into the Salvation Army Shop to arrange collection of out bits and bobs I saw a massive basket in good nick for only $7.  It was the perfect shape and size for loading up goodies from the kitchen garden.  I couldn’t resist.  It’s served us well so I don’t feel too bad but it does seem a little at odds with my clear out policy. The basket is deeper than the trug which means that it has a marginally better chance of keeping Fortnum’s snout out of the bounty.  The temptation is pretty strong though and he can’t help himself but to rest his chin and sniff a while.  He is no reformed character though and can’t be trusted where fresh veggies are concerned.
