Bananas!

My internet has been patchy the last couple of days, and its still slow today, so I haven't been able to write my blog! Yesterday was National Banana Day and I do use a lot of bananas as they have a lower carbon footprint than other fruits because they come here by boat. In the summer I rely heavily on the fruit from my garden: Apples, pears, Victoria plums and greengage plums. Occasionally there are cherries, if the birds leave me any, and  the same with the currants! Unfortunately last year's apple harvest was poor and I couldn't store any of the apples so I didn't have any for the early part of this year. Let's hope this year is better. Getting back to bananas, they might top your porridge, accompany your pancakes, or end up in a dessert. Are you a fan? I love a banana milkshake (banana, soya milk and swedish glace vanilla ice cream blended up.)
