The Jersey Royals are in now, though they weren’t the other day. It was a good meal all the same. We bought a whole brill, which turned out to be more than the three of us could eat, so I frugally saved the remains and made risotto with the asparagus cooking water, leftover asparagus and leftover fish. As this was practically a free meal, we could fully justify having lunch out yesterday…

So we had the Jersey Royals tonight and they were jolly good. Just big enough to dig, full of flavour. This time next week, we’ll be halfway through our Jersey holiday, so probably we will have eaten them at every meal and had enough of them. But right now, they’re perfect and so are the local asparagus and strawberries.

We’re having a perfect evening right now, too. Musically and so on…
