Another lovely painting Eric. I look out for all your postings on the forum. Lynda:)

Why don't you try using celeriac as a base? This gives the soup a thicker texture and is very tasty. Just add onions and perhaps some fried bacon pieces and you have the basic soup. I then add courgettes or any vegetable to flavour, or just lentils. The variations are endless. Lynda

Have just received the delightful water colour from Eric. Dave says he will hang it for me above our fireplace. We are so impressed with such a beautiful present and also the original drawing which once framed can go in our bedroom. We feel very priviliged to now own an original painting of the...
