A taste of spring

Hurrah! The wettest January since records began in 1870 is over! Yes yes, I know it's going to be miserable again in only a few hours' time but today there was a definite hint of spring in the air.  Last week I bought my first daffodils of the year - always a joyous milestone....

... today saw the earth slowly but surely coming back to life in Hyde Park...

... and on the way home I stocked up on some glorious seasonal produce from Portobello market. I'm planning to thinly slice the leeks, fennel and lemon, fry them with a bit of garlic and plenty of seasoning in olive oil before stuffing the mixture into a couple of lovely fresh mackerel to go under the grill. Accompanied by the steamed kale and buttered, parsley-ed new potatoes, they should make a yummy, light and healthy-ish meal to go with my (currently) optimistic, sunny mood.

Well, you've got to make the most of it before the next unfeasibly horrible deluge, haven't you?
