Ooh Lah Lah - Onion Plaiting


With just under a month until we head to France, Prue got into the cultural immersion when Jan our neighbour asked her to have a go at creating onion plaits from the bumper harvest that she and Grenville have grown.

Despite no previous experience Prue decided, why not!

Not quite like plaiting Maddy's hair, but following the same principle Prue gave it a go. After starting with the smaller shallots, she eventually graduated to the large white onions which now hang in all there glory to starve of the cold of the winter months.
Enjoy the photos of this fun activity.





But the jobs not done yet, after a weekend at the Abergavenny Food Festival the ladies will be back to finish the job on Monday.
Only 63 more to go!
Merci
