A Long Weekend!


Today we returned to the city after a long week-end at the cottage, where the sun came up around 0530h and didn't disappear until after 2130h. Had a lovely time doing very little!
The garden at the cottage is overgrown, and at the moment does resemble a jungle! However the poppies look amazing especially in the sunlight.
Today has for me been a lazy day, breakfast in bed which I made, so it was boiled eggs and toast with cafeteria coffee.
Sat outside in the sun most of the day reading Saha a story with amazing recipes.
Just had a G&T and awaiting dinner, Graham's roasted tomatoes with cannellini beans and his newly baked focaccia:)
Watched the second part of Sebastian bergman on BBC 4 excellent!
Sunday Graham's cherry focaccia and coffee for breakfast delicious! Love reading, sometimes feel I don't read enough (no time). However I have enjoyed the six books that G ordered me for Christmas from Persephone books, the last one was delivered in May and quite a poignant read.
'Miss Ranskill Comes Home' written by Barbara Euphan Todd the story unfolds with many facets to it, you are taken from a desert island to war strewn England with all the adventures that occur.
Only the other day did I learn the above author also wrote Worzel Gummidge very interesting:)
Edit:- At the moment trying to read 'lighter novels' as I have become too fond of Scandinivian Thrillers!!
Did the long walk in the woods! G made fresh pasta and made Tortelli di Zuca or fresh pasta stuffed with butternut squash!!
Monday Christine popped over for a visit, had a fry up for breakfast, then another walk in the woods. We couldn't go the way we wished as timber operations are in progress! Made bread.
Attempted another cyanotype with the negative turned out fine but over exposed.
Tuesday left the Glen after a long, sunny, lazy weekend:) Journey to Edinburgh not too bad!
