According to mappy, Dol de Bretagne is about 1000km away - even for  parsnips, it's a bit far! I can cope with one more red day, it's just sooooooo nice to be able to live (relatively) normally without them.    You cannot imagine the luxury of getting undressed in a bedroom that is more than 8°!  

The good thing about astroturf is that it stays green!   The grass round here is all BROWN because we've had no rain since..... well, I don't know, but certainly no real rain since we moved in in October.   They're talking about a drought already!  Better start stockpiling bottled water.    Ed's parsnips were pretty good last night.   And the smell, oooohhhhh, perfumes of Arabie had nothing on my kitchen, roast parsnips and garlicky chicken, mmmmmmm.  

Yup, first time I've set eyes on a parsnip in France. I'll let you know if they're good........ Forgot the red days were finished, that would explain why there were 3 in a row last Wed, Thurs, & Fri.   Not that I'm obsessed or anything!  Oh yippee, I can put the heater on in the kitchen and see if my olive oil turns clear again.  SO  depressing to see it all cloudy like that, woe is me.  House has even been too cold for son's lentils-on-cotton-wool-growing SVT experiment, imagine the shame!

In Ed!!!   Ed is selling parsnips!!!   1.50 euros a kilo.  Parsnips parsnips parsnips, can't wait...... if tomorrow is a red day and I can't put them in the oven, I'll be most unhappy.
