Sara arrived for a week just as I was struck down with a chest infection and unable to do anything!  She was brilliant and took over everything outside.  Learning to deal with the horse, feed the chickens, take the dogs for walks, clean the tunnel and clear huge amounts of brambles!  It was a very quiet week for her and so time for reflection.  I think maybe she will be back and this time I will be one hundred percent!  Taralli are like crunchy biscuits suitable with soup or something to have with drinks.  you can mix in paprika or garlic etc.,
