A spring lunch for 4

I hardly dare mention the S word given how cold it's been recently but tomorrow, believe it or not is the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere and the clocks go forward in the UK this weekend. So here's a light lunch to enjoy with a couple of friends that has a touch of spring about it but still includes a warming stew.

Hard day at the computerface today so here’s a cute picture from @padstowxmas last weekend. Nothing to do with food or booze for once. . . . #dachshund #dachshundsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #cutedogsHow long is it since I had an apple strudel? Answer: too long. Such a delicious way to round off a great meal cooked by the young chefs @squarefoodfoundation. Terrible light though which doesn’t flatter it! . . . #apple #strudel #applestrudel #dessert #pastry #squarefoodfoundation #bristolFinally time to get my arse into gear this week and start thinking about Christmas, starting with a gorgeous wreath like this one from @lilyvioletmay. Also need to track down other Xmas decs which have mysteriously disappeared in some cupboard of doom (@deboradeclutters will NOT be impressed). Anyone else as disorganised as I am? #notprepared. . . . #christmasdecorations #wreath #christmaswreathThe surprise wine of the weekend - @trevibbanmill_vineyard’s Blanc de Blancs - extraordinary to get that depth of flavour from a brut nature in Cornwall. Thanks @resnathanoutlaw for the discovery. . . . #trevibbbanmill #sparklingwine #englishsparklingwine #fizz #bubbly #cornish #wine Follow on Instagram
