Like a Phoenix from the Ashes

Well the coriander shriveled and died as was to be expected, the Princess being new to this gardening malarkey was most upset, this being her first venture and all, but on closer inspection it appeared all was not lost. In amongst the dried, shriveled fronds of the coriander sprouted new life, it was at a very delicate stage of its life  and would take careful nurturing if it was to survive, the Princess proved obliging. She sped to grab her 'shears' and set about trimming not only the coriander but the whole estate with all her might. Her over zealous pruning may have led to a few plants losing there leaves a little prematurely but on the whole the garden seemed to enjoy its mid summer haircut.

As the estate covers thousands of square centimeters it was over in the grill and rotisserie section that tongues were wagging. Today marked a Jorktanical, if not World first, the barbecued meringue. As the AGA in the main house was temporarily out of action and the manservant had began to prepare a beautiful meringue for the households supper it was decided to take pioneering action and use the BBQ as an impromptu oven. After careful calculation and hours of peering through the specially designed 'meringue peephole' the most perfect meringue ever cooked on a BBQ was soon being troughed into the hungry stomachs of the estate owners and workers, I true culinary success.
