Today, I received a lovely handmade card from a young guest called Christabelle. She is a member of the Bowler family who took part in our pasty-making day. Unfortunately, it seems that the Cornish piskies ran off with Christabelle’s pasties, they were that well made! And they happened to be stolen on the day that the Cornish pasty got international status; I can assure you ours were all authentic!
Well, after looking everywhere for the spot where these pesky piskies may have hidden the pasties, we decided that Christabelle and her mum should come back and help me make some more. So today, after breakfast, we had a mini pasty-making session down in Café Indigo and yet again, the pasties that Christabelle and her mum made were awesome!
I was not going to let these ones out of my sight. So I got them straight in the oven and they were lovely and warm when I delivered them to the ballroom where Christabelle’s grandparents were just about to set out on their long journey home. I am sure they enjoyed their stop off with Christabelle’s beautifully crafted pasties to keep them going.
Also you will see some bread I've made recently - move over Baker Tom - and one of the largest lemons I have ever seen. I found a tree of them in the Mediterranean dome at Eden!
Oh, and one last photo. This one was taken outside Kingsley village in Fraddon. There's a huge sign up selling my friend Tim’s mackerel baps in aid of ‘fish fight’ - Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall's Channel 4 eye-opener about fish farming. Tim, who is head chef at River Cottage Axeminister and stayed with us last October, has had a large part to play in getting fish shops across the country to put sustainable fish on their menus and it's something we care about very much here at Bedruthan too.
