I’m not a great fan of Black Friday offers – so many are not genuinely new or low offers, but couldn’t resist this bottle of Wildcat Gin. I’d been considering buying it for several weeks at its usual £30 price, so it was a no-brainer at £20. And it didn’t disappoint…!
A cheeky little bottle of my favourite Prosecco – just the thing for a wet and miserable Saturday afternoon… The forecast for tomorrow is better, and we are off for a few days by the seaside!
We are great fans of Masterchef and watch every episode. Last night, Marcus Wareing set the contestants a challenge to cook a traditional Croque Monsieur – essentially a cooked ham, cheese and cheese sauce sandwich, so I decided to have a go and try it myself tonight. Remembering the method from last night it didn’t turn out too badly…
After several weeks of persistent wet weather, a clear spell yesterday meant a really cold start to today, with mist and a ground frost. With fields all around us, it took only a moment to find a spot to shoot the early morning light.
Every year now, John Lewis run a Christmas TV advert, usually featuring a soft toy. My wife is a sucker for these, and of course, as we have two granddaughters, she always buys two of the said toys, even though they are probably getting a little old for such things. Ah well…
It’s become a tradition in our house that we make chutney every year just before Christmas. We enjoy it with cold meat and cheese, but it makes a welcome home-made gift for friends. We also make flavoured vodka and gin, but that’s another story…
As well as being rather timid, sheep are also quite inquisitive. When they saw me at the gate, they came from the far side of the field, but only this far. I wonder what they were thinking?
I’m not known for being a ‘completer/finisher‘ – indeed some jobs and projects I start at home take a VERY long time to get finished. So here goes with another little model railway project, started of course before the last one is done…
We had ‘a lot of weather’ here today – a fine start, then rain, cloud, and very late in the afternoon a couple of minutes where the sun shone through from under the clouds. This is just up the hill from our house.
So today’s the day my beautiful Audi TT gets collected and is on its way to a new home. I’ve really enjoyed driving it, even if sometimes it’s been tricky getting in and out of such a low car. Good times…
One Day At A Time...
