		<description><![CDATA[Introducing new truffle hound Rosie, who joined us at Limestone Hills last Saturday and found* her first truffle on Sunday morning. Not bad for an eight week old pup&#8230; Here she is with the truffle&#8230; &#8230;which eventually weighed in at 188 grams, the largest I&#8217;ve yet found at the Hills (though a tiddler in record [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s my gravatar and the favicon here and at Hot Topic. It was shot for The Truffle Book in 2005, when she was two years old and already a champion truffle hound. She died on Monday morning, poisoned [...]]]></description>

And there was a good-sized truffle under each. Difficult to give any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Impatience is a terrible thing, but sometimes rewarding. Today, no longer able to resist poking at one of the suspected &#8220;push ups&#8221; in the truffiere, I scraped at the soil &#8212; and found a truffle. If it makes it through to maturity it&#8217;ll be a good size &#8212; perhaps 75 g or more. It&#8217;s been [...]]]></description>

Compare this picture (above) taken earlier this week with the one taken when he first found it &#8212; there&#8217;s definitely some inflation going on, and we can see that bugs and slugs are beginning to enjoy a feast.

It&#8217;s nowhere near ripe yet, but as Michael exclaimed when he rang me with his news yesterday morning, &#8220;Gareth, it&#8217;s huge!&#8221;. And it [...]]]></description>
