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.
I love the look of longing on Fortnum’s face….. he really loves his veggies. I can almost hear him taking a few deep sniffs and letting out a big basset sigh
