Shanks of Ham and Strawberry Jam

Shanks of Ham and Strawberry Jam

Whilst on holidays there was a favourite place to go
It was the weekly farmers market and flower show
Seasonal vegetables and fruit on display
beautiful flowers to make a custom bouquet

Fresh picked strawberries plump and sweet
perfect for making homemade jam to eat
Runner beans, cauliflower, lettuce and peas
carrots, scallions, new potatoes, butter and cheese

Perhaps buy a free range chicken or a leg of lamb
A prime rib roast or a shank of ham
Farm to table ingredients to make dinner and  soup for the pot
bake an apple tart, best served piping hot

These cherished memories are so clear to me
While we were away on holiday in Donaghadee
