I have been for a walk. Don't tell anyone I have exercised twice. 
I am too much of an outdoorsy person to only go out once.

Fresh from my allotment. Ground to plate - 10 minutes.

I don't think I've ever eaten asparagus. What does it taste like?
Difficult to describe.
We eat a lot - there's fields of it across the road at the moment.
Try some and see.

As @Dirk says it's difficult to describe. Do try it as it is delicious BUT only by British grown in season, that's now. If you can find locally grown even better. Asparagus needs to be eaten a fresh as possible. The stuff flown in from around the world is tasteless.
To prepare hold the base in one hand and roughly halfway down the stem in the other, gently bend and the spear will snap. The point at which it snaps is where the stem gets woody and less pleasant to eat.
Boil a pan of water and either boil very quickly or steam in sieve. Serve alone or with a little butter.

Horrible and do not even mention your water works the next morning.

Received this today. An effort to relieve the boredom of "lockdown".
It is never going to be good for long ride, and, at the price, that is not surprising, but, we had a very amusing trial run this afternoon.
It certainly amused our neighbours as we wobbled our way along the road
With Mrs @BoldonLad on the back, as stoker, I can honestly say, it is the first time I have been "in charge" in over 30 years!

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Thank god I don't have an office. If I did I have no doubt that Mr WD would fill it with more crap. 😠

Yeh! We can share the £250 when it goes on YBF.
