Turning to gold

,  

Well, I've at last bought some Seville oranges and made marmalade...should keep us going for a while. 


 But carrot and coriander soup's not done yet...tomorrow maybe!


And still on the gold theme, I couldn't resist a gorgeous ranunculus (more orangey-red than gold) and a pretty primula to brighten up the back door.  The harsh winter has played havoc with the pots I planted up in autumn, so they look terribly drab right now.

    I love marmalade on my morning toast and carrot and coriander is a favourite flavour for soup. Your flowers are so bright and cheerful:)

    What a lovely splash of colour from those flowers. I'm afraid I haven't got round to making maramalade this year and I suspect that I'm not going to have time now - homemade is so much nicer than bought too.
