I like the sound of your plans!

I'm personally not eating farmed salmon and I am slightly surprised that the Guardian/Observer is still doing recipes for it. I thought the movement against was getting quite strong.

I went to the Devonshire on Mothers Day and thought it has been overpraised.

I’m glad you like my plans. I agree about salmon.

Interesting what you say about the Devonshire. I haven’t been but went to Camille, also universally praised and thought some of the pricing was quite punchy although we loved the crab thing and the brown butter tart. And my best meal of last year was at Emilia’s, their restaurant in Ashburton.

Was good to be back although this week I've been away in Lake District and couldn't get broadband to work on laptop so already I've ruined my new schedule. x

It was after your event, that I thought things through as the words, not being a chore, struck home.

Well I am definitely going to make the Blueberry Lemon Cake! We're going, that afternoon, to see some friends who have just moved (read....downsized!) and she loves that kind of cake. I'm making my way through your newsletter now; having been in bed for most of the week wwith one of the very worst times with cough, flu and oh so tired. Italy in 10 days ! and I think I'll make it...

Oh gosh. Poor you. I love that kind of cake too and Diana Henry’s recipes are the best. Looking forward to seeing lots of beautiful Italian photos.

And I'm fascinated by Telegraphs wine choice: they are so reasonable. I'll try one of each. Oh, I cannot wait to have appetite back; have lost 6 lbs already!

You should read Fiona Beckett’s column in the Guardian too. Is wine just more expensive generally in the US?
