Today was the first day of British Summer Time. It's funny, in the autumn/winter we're on GMT, or Greenwich Mean Time, so why it changes to BST is anyone's guess rather than sticking with GST. Weird, eh?
Anyway, one of the annual spring rituals is the flowering of the wild garlic that grows in the rock wall along the pavement by a small part near my house. Although I have never personally picked any to take home to use in my cooking, my mate Sarah used to collect it every spring and one time made a soup from it, topped with the white (edible) flowers. It was delicious! Maybe this year I'll have a go at using some...
