It's British strawberry season! Hurrah! Mr Marmalade can't stand strawberries but Jimmy and I love them especially with liberal amounts of double cream. I soak mine in rose syrup for a while before adding the cream. I do this with raspberries too, and I also add rose essence to my Eton Mess.
I also add a smidgin of rose syrup to my G&T .
Apart from eating strawberries and photographing my roses, I have also been catching up on the Allotment
Sometimes I just add rose essence to whipped cream, and sandwich it between two meringues. HEAVEN.

A rose lace G & T... Eton Mess...thank goodness it's summer--hooray! :o) But your hubby doesn't like strawberries? Shock-horror... Never heard of such a thing--LOL! I love strawberry time. We had sliced strawberries in a sugar syrup over ice cream this weekend--gorgeous simplicity. Hope you are feeling better, Julia... I'm sure a little extra strawberries is helping. :o) Happy Days ((HUGS))
