Spring

Winter is nearly behind us and the generous rains have left the gardens as green as ever. New buds are appearing everywhere. The bare branches of the fig trees have been replaced by beautiful new leaves and the begining signs of fruit can be spotted. Madré's vegtable garden is bursting with new shoots and fruits. Strawberries are being picked and the ever generous herbs are decorating the delicious plates coming out of the kitchen. Fabiano harvested the waterblommetijes which can be found on the menu in a country style quiche or lamb stew. As spring continues we look forward to picnics on the lawns and tables laiden with yummies as the summer season draws near.
