In keeping with his seasonal themes, he would also like to let you know about the Daffodil festival held every year at Backhouse Rossie estate on the A91 between Collessie and Auchtermuchty. It’s a lovely festival. He had no idea there were so many varieties of daffodils! (there is also loads of wild garlic!) You can learn everything you ever wanted about Daffodils from the lovely laid-back owners, The Thomson’s. It is on over the Easter weekend this year.

Christopher will be there selling his range of vegetable cookbooks!
