The Humble Sprout!


 I ADORE sprouts! 


As a child I hated sprouts but over the years I have developed a liking for them and many would say I have a love afair with them. When we were first married Jon wouldn't eat sprouts - now he happily has a few on his plate - I think 6 is a maximum (so far!)
