THIS PAST WEEKEND, family come through for a visit on Saturday, bringing gifts of red wine and home baking — walnut loaves and coconut cakes and all our favourite things — followed by reservations for lunch at a local pub (homemade cod, sloe gin smoked salmon & spinach fishcakes with citrus crème fraîche and a dressed house salad; salted caramel chocolate pot with crème fraîche, candied lemon and butter biscuits), a perfectly lovely way to spend the afternoon. Sunday & Monday were spent in summery pursuits, for the time is moving far too quickly, and now it’s busily back to business, beginning with this week’s Links . . .
