One of my most favourite tv programmes ever has to be river cottage where hugh fearnley relocates to the west country in search of a better quality of life. Like many others I’m sure, I would love to be in a position to do this.
My life is, at the moment, semi-rural: I live in a large village and am very lucky to have a large back garden. One day though, I would love to own my very own smallholding – much like the original river cottage – or, if I’m very lucky, one more like river cottage hq (the big 40 acre farm as featured in 2008 river cottage spring and autmn).
Anyway, more to the point, I’ve been watching river cottage spring repeats on 4od this morning. Hugh was making broad beans on toast and harvesting new potatoes and raddish (all grown in that polytunnel for early cropping).
I’m looking forward to re-creating this recipe for myself in about a months time with my container grown broad beans! Until then I’ve got exam after exam and I could really do with beginning to revise and prepare.
iPod update.
