A Lovely Present…
I’ve been so busy writing, I’ve only just had time to repot the lovely new lemon tree my daughter bought me to replace the one I lost during the big freeze last winter. Now I can’t wait to make lemon curd - when we get enough eggs!

I love Mark McKellier’s beautiful photo. It looks like my bees, dark and industrious.

Looking Forward To…
…lemon curd around Christmas time. It pays to plan ahead when you’re multitasking! My daughter bought me a beautiful lemon tree for Mother’s Day, to replace the venerable old plant I lost during our recent devastating winter. That’s growing well and has some embryo fruit on it. They won’t be ripe in time to make lemonade this summer, but they should be ready to make lemon tart or lemon curd to brighten up winter.
Setting the Scene.
So- my latest work in progress has a shipping magnate hero in Leo, a comfort eating heroine in Alexa - what better place to throw them together than on a ferry across the Thames? Luckily, they meet before Alexa gets her hands on the steak, fries and chocolate pudding Leo’s behaviour drives her to consume.
This is the view from the balcony of Leo’s suite at the Dockland’s Hilton. He very kindly lent it to me and my tribe for a holiday last year. The suite that is, and not just the balcony ;)
This lily smells as good as it looks…
…and it survived against all the odds. I sowed six seeds, nurtured them carefully and - nothing. After a year had gone by, I gave up and emptied the pot of ‘dud’ seeds and soil onto the greenhouse border. The following spring a single tuft of leaves appeared and this year, this single survivor flowered.
And the moral of this story is - when it comes to plants, never give up!
