Do
There is something pretty refreshing about witnessing new life...
I spent this Easter holiday on a farm down in Devon. I'm a city girl at heart but escaping for a week was just lovely. I drank tea from teapots next to the open fire, I walked the dogs in the mornings and I adorned myself in comfy jumpers and wellies. Helping the farmer to heard the lambs and their new mothers into the barn for the cold night, we moved the heard from one field to the next and as we did so we saw a ewe sitting down and bleeting. She gave birth to a lovely little lamb right there infront of us, something that to the farmer was just standard practice but to me was rather beautiful. The lamb stood up and walked after its mother in a matter of minutes. It was so simple, so natural and completely lovely. For everyone who wants to escape...sometimes you don't need to leave the country, you don't need sun and some swanky hotel with a pool. Just go back to basics...back to nature!

Cook
Sweetcorn fritters with a spicy tomato sauce and rocket salad.
Ingredients
30g plain / all purpose flour quarter cup
half tsp baking powder
quarter tsp salt
1 large egg (US extra large)
1 x 200g can sweetcorn, drained (drained weight 170g/1 cup)
1 large or 2 small spring onions, finely sliced
2 tbsp sunflower or canola oil for frying
Method
Put all the ingredients except the oil in the bowl of a food processor and whiz for one minute to make a batter.
Heat a little of the oil in a large frying pan and drop in teaspoonfuls of the batter. Cook for 1 to 1 ½ minutes in batches of 5 until golden on the underside, then carefully turn and cook for a further minute.
You can use the back of a spoon to help push the fritter onto a spatula to make turning easier.
Drain briefly on kitchen paper before serving
Serve with a simple rocket salad, with a dressing of honey, whole grain mustard, olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Totally perfect for those start of summer nights like tonight :-)
