Today's harvest from the allotment. I have added a tea spoon to give perspective. The largest courgettes weigh nearly 7.5lb (3.5kg) and I am scratching my head wondering how to use them all. Last year I made some lovely spicey courgette chutney, marrow & ginger wine and jam, and ratatouille. Moira has suggested a courgette cake, and I use them in every day cooking. But with so many to use, I'd love some new ideas and recipes please. Feel welcome to post here and I'll let you know how many ways I find of using squash!

ALICE IN WONDERLAND THEMED MINI ALBUM
This weekend saw me at the monthly Eclectic Keepsake Crop where Karen Cole showed how to make her Alice in Wonderfland themed mini album. I loved the bag of materials that she prepared, with papers and embellishments. What to do with them all?! I took along photos of my recent stay in Rye Harbour, with my friends Jill & Ruth. I am still working on the album and will show more pages as they are completed. Karen came up with some new ideas to try, and I love the whole concept of the album. Fitting in a theme which is unconnected to the photos and focus of the album is both interesting and challenging at times. Something I will certainly do again in future!
