Castle Forbes

Last Sunday Gen and I went to an antiques fair at Castle Forbes, Aberdeenshire.  Sitting in the sun drinking tea, eating sausage rolls and socialising with the castle dogs was not too shabby a way to spend an afternoon. :)

Cromarty

I’m off to Cromarty today to visit a friend.  It’s a lovely wee place and it has a cracking little pizzeria/restaurant called Sutor Creek.  Well worth a visit.

Roasted Beetroot Salad

I never did tell you what I did with that beetroot or rhubarb.

The Beetroot.

Cut the beetroot into sixths and roasted in the oven brushed with a little olive oil, salt and pepper for 45 mins.  Fried a garlic clove and some chickpeas in a little olive oil then added some baby leaves (spinach, chard, anything will do).  Continued cooking until the wilted then tossed everything (including the beetroot) with a little balsalmic vinegar.

Ate with lamb chops, bread and humous.

Yum.

Keukenhof

Whilst in the Netherlands, we visited Keukenhof, an enormous spring flower garden located just outside of Amsterdam.  To be honest, I had been hoping to cycle or walk alongside the agricultural bulb fields in the North Holland countryside but it wasn’t to be.  A stroll through these impressive gardens was a rather lovely second choice though.
