With an enormous amount of fresh organic tomatoes I decided to spend my time cooking fresh tomato soups, scones and rocket and pear salads, as this is what I can do best at this moment in time.

I made 6 litres of Tomato and 1 litre of beetroot soups, 42 cheese scones and 7 rocket salads and spent virtually all of them again on help with the shifting of a large amount of manure, mending of my apple picker, a lift to the city and in a couple of week's time a lift to the airport and back. I would like to say a big thank you to all of you who helped me with this.

It is also wonderful to hear that my soup went down very well:

Just wanted to say thank you for the delicious tomato soup, scones and salad we had tonight. The whole family enjoyed the soup and scones, especially one year old Becky!
