I challenge you in the sugar in the jelly!
We had one also (although without such pretty pictures) by accident - Bacon and Eggs on toast for breakfast!
Bacon - from Foxbury farm, near Buckingham - 40 miles
eggs - Mill house farm - about 1.5 miles
bread - homemade, with flour from Wessex mill - 42 miles, although thame was mentioned on packet, which is only 8 miles, butter from upper norton dairy - 31 miles
exceptions were salt and pepper, yeast and sunflower oil in the bread
The bacon and butter are delivered as part of my usual box scheme, so no extra journeys. The eggs I get on the way home from work, the flour is delivered in bulk and the honey comes from the local farmer's market.
We both drank tap water (I presume this is also an exception?!), and I had mint tea with mint from the garden and borage honey from ellesborough (about a mile) afterwards. I also had toast and more honey.
next week I am planning new potatoes from the greenhouse with Foxbury farm chicken or five-mile lamb, and salad from the garden, if I can think of a way round the dressing issue, or whatever veg I can get if not. |

Dinner tonight was CotW stir-fry with Chicken-of-the-woods foraged from a local wood about 4 miles away, yellow and purple mange-tout, french beans, onions, courgettes, carrots, garlic and garlic flower heads - all from our own garden. Served with egg fried rice which contained our own hens egg, spring onions and garlic but, alas, not our own rice yet but it was bought in bulk from Suma. All washed down our tap water! |

I found some lovely local ice cream, and honey, and goat, chicken, pork, beef from these people.
Ellie, was lovely, put up with me and mine slurping goats milk ice cream and generally being a nuisance.
You could tell she was really passionate about what her and her husband are doing.
I can feel a trial of goats milk as opposed to cows milk coming on
Anyway, while I didn't take a picture, for lunch I had tomatoes from Manningtree, lettuce and nasturtuim flower salad and scrambled egg (from the allotment and garden). I had to scramble the eggs without any butter but the salt was from Maldon |
