There was something especially lovely about reading this in the queue for our weekend community bakery. I’ve started both shopping at and volunteering with some of North Edinburgh’s community veg gardens and it makes me feel so connected both to nature in general, but also to the area. It’s incredible that these places are just tucked away behind a pub or the Granton Gasworks.
Yes! I cook and prep meals for my family multiple times a day and though I love to be the one who can do this for them, there's no denying that when overwhelm from other quarters appears, it's the first thing to slide (provoking uncomfortable feelings of woe is me, too).
Then I beat myself up about the convenience foods that appear. The veg box tatties and broad beans I can't begin to concoct a new recipe for.
But those evenings when it's blissful in the kitchen and the shopping's been done... 6Music is on the radio, the candles are lit and there's something chilled in my glass.
Oh, then I LOVE preparing food. And eating it with the people I love.

I love this!
Good, because next time you’re through I’m taking you on a full community garden tour!
