[wellie]

Not got it yet, but about to pre-order it, which gives you five squid off RRP of £30 if you do pre-order online before 30th April 2007 online at www.sarahraven.com.
Will let you know more about it when we get it. Late Trousers Birthday Present...

I got her cutting garden book which is good but I got it from one of the publishers bookshops and it was about a £5 rather than £25!! I'd wait & see what it is from other places as she seems to be expensive with everything ( all that money and still dresses like a scarecrow )

Amazon - £19.80

Yes, that got you all going....! Welcome to the thread....
And it will be a pleasure to pay less for the book, when the right price comes up... Sarah Raven happens to be my man's ultimate adoration, so he wouldn't care if she was dressed in a snorkel and flippers frankly, and if she was, Nick.... it would be just as exciting as her scarecrow ensemble....!
and you're only fuelling his fantasy, so please stop now......

Just buy him a poster then, a book seems wasted.

Trousers and I are booked on one of her cookery courses, something to do with a roast!

SBP,
What good is a POSTER of a woman? especially in the kitchen or the vegetable garden.... or anywhere, for that matter, other than the obvious, if you can't get a real one....
Are you MAD girl?
A 'poster' never digs, weeds, harvests, cooks, or hugs.....
Do you grow vegetables to look at, or cook with?!Nothing
wrong with admiring a female form, and Trousers' choice is 'in addition' to, and he would like her cook book as his present.
I happen to like his present choice....because I like her style, and would love to try some of her recipes...

[serenity]

if the recipies in the book are as good as the tips she gives in her gardening book then this is going to be fab. If anyone buys this could you pm me and let me know if there are enough non meat recipies in it to warant me buying it?

I assumed you were serious about buying the book from sarah ravens site - I was being helpful posting the lower price from Amazon, your next reply seemd to suggest you weren't.

Whatever.

The book on Sarah Raven's site IS Hardback and signed though, so that might sway me....

Buy the cheap one and get Trousers to take it with him for signing when he's on the course!

Hazel, unless Pigletwillie HAS booked him and Trousers on one of her cookery courses for real, I think this little Piggy is telling 'porkies', otherwise that would have been a very good suggestion!

[Hazel at the Hill]

D'oh! Gullible, ain't I!

Actually, I don't know much about Sarah Ravens, so you'll have to buy the book, Wellie, then I can borrow it from you!

[nick the grief]

..........so he wouldn't care if she was dressed in a snorkel and flippers frankly,......

Now your talking, I never could resist a woman in just snorkel & flippers ..... specially a posh bird

I have to admit the cutting garden one is really a good book and she is quite knowledgable ( not in my class you understand but then again ..... ) It's just that bloody coat & wellies she wears hardly flattering to her lines...... still we can't all be Gods or Godesses

[wellie]

Nick, I'm not normally prone to say things like this 'as a woman' but there are definitely certain women that just 'ooze' sex-appeal, and I have to say, if I WAS a bloke, I'd have a 'thing' for Sarah Raven as well as Piglet and Trousers.... Her style is completely 'her own', which is the song sheet I sing from. Always be yourself.... and don't fear to be different..
