You can find more information, photos and advice sheetsrange, Sarah Raven and Arthur Parkinson's podcast about

exactly that, growing, cooking, eating and arranging. And I'm sat by the fire in East Sussex

at Perch Hill looking out. It's a beautiful day today. We've had horrendous weather

recently and so I have to say seeing the sun is quite livening and brightening. But I'm not with

Arthur today, of course, because of coronavirus. He's actually over in Gloucestershire. But we are

communicating over the internet. And today, at the end of winter, we're going to cover winter salad and hellebours.

So, Sarah, as you know, I'm in a place that's quite nice in the English countryside known as the Cotswolds.

And I have to say I've been really missing, you'll be surprised to hear your vegetable slope,

because every few days we have a trip out and the trips are quite limited due to the virus,

but we tend to go to quite posh farm shops.

And to be honest, I've been taking quite a bit of notice of what varieties of in-season

veg are being sold and also the prices.

I've been absolutely disgusted at yesterday, almost paying £6 for a bag of leaves

that I'm used to seeing you emerge with as you come through

the kitchen at this time of year in a lovely cullender freshly picked from the garden often at 7 o'clock

at night when we're about to have a glass of wine. So even I am considering somehow growing my own

lettuce leaves and I imagine that you've got plenty to pick up perch hill.

I hope that's the case.

That is the case and I'm very glad to hear that because you are not famed for liking your

food, Arthur.

But I think you do know good food from bad food.

I'm not saying that Gloucestershire farm shop salad is bad food at all.
