You're in Hampshire in the UK?! I'm from near Winchester, it's always nice to meet a 'local' on the internet! This cold cucumber soup sounds delicious by the way!

Winchester is on the other side of Hampshire from me, and its so charming, so utterly charming. Waterlooville, not so much. But still....x m

I have to say Winchester is looking pretty run down these days, expensive rent and council tax! Aw even though we aren't neighbours, it's lovely to meet a fellow Hampshire resident as now I've moved I do miss it!

Hi Ally! you're from near Winchester, but you live in France, which gives me, here in Waterlooville, hope! (hope of fleeing, hope of finding a new home, somewhere, someplace that loves food and grows artichoikes). I've lived here for 2 decades now, and it is charming, and we live near a forest so i'm all about foraging, and gardening, and being doggy mama to jack russells, but its time to go. The cucumber soup is so tasty, i hope you've had a chance to make/eat it. I adore cold soups when the weather is hot! xoxoxo your fellow Hampshire-ite, marlena
