Sausage pie time!

Summer's arrived and I am giddy at the prospect of spending oceans of time in the ocean or paddling pool preferably in Cornwall with my darlings !
We have been swimming everyday of the holidays so far, when my pupils in the end of term show depicted me as a mermaid they were spot on. The freedom and energy of the sea is my idea of heaven. Lying back on the sand listening to the waves and the gulls is magical especially if you are holding someone you love in one hand and a wodge of sausage pie in the other!
These days of wine and roses are few, happy holidays wherever you may be.xxx

Sausage pie

2 sheets of short crust or puff pastry ( you're on holiday so shop bought will do)
4packs of best quality sausages
4leeks sliced
Fresh rosemary and thyme
Butter

Take the sausage meat out of their skins brown in a pan with the herbs in a knob of butter
In another pan fry the leeks in butter until soft
Bake the base of pastry for ten minutes then cover with a layer of sausage meat, then leeks then pastry lid on top. Seal with a little beaten egg and brush allover so that after 30 mins in a medium oven it comes out all golden like a giant pasty.
Every mermaid deserves a pie!
