    Or you could take the seeds out, dry them and roast them? Or use them in Nigel Slater's sausage and roast beetroot recipe.

    Was your relative the TdF mentioned? (I'll remove this if you like.)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    :D Good one! Though actually we were there in their early autumn, so true as well as witty.

    The soup had coriander in it, not sure what else.

    OK, the guy who hit our car. We got quotes at the garages he recommended but he is obviously finding it too much so is no longer offering to pay. What option do I have but to go to my insurance company, pay the excess and wait for them to recover it from his insurance company?
    I think....

    That's a pain, michaels. Especially after he said he'd sort the payment.
    Still, as long as he's still admitting liability.
