Helpful Housekeeper

On Thursday evening we said goodbye to our younger daughter, Alice, who had kindly spent four days helping her 'old folks' following my return home from hospital. She arrived with a box full of organic vegetables, (full of healing properties), from Abel and Cole and soon took over the kitchen. I could hear plenty of laughter from upstairs as she and WPH put the world to rights and the meals on the kitchen table. Her lamb tagine with pomegranate couscous was a triumph, as was the chicken soup with chunky vegetables and pork with mustard and cider sauce. Cooked breakfasts suggested WPH and I were staying in a 5 star hotel.Life has quietened down since Alice's departure....we certainly realise how much we appreciated our energetic temporary housekeeper! However WPH has returned to full time kitchen duties with renewed enthusiasm...as they say 'a change is as good as a rest'.
