This week, mostly

I’m reading…..

Crazy Water, Pickled Lemons by Diana Henry. ‘Enchanting dishes from the Middle East, Mediterranean and North Africa’. You can just feel the sun reading this. Jason Lowe’s photography is great too. Sadly I won’t be cooking much of this as everything has liberal amounts of garlic, WH’s pet hate.

When he’s away though……



I’m watching…..

all the local children playing on the green in front of my house. Fed up with this bitingly cold winter, now the days are longer and brighter, TV and play stations are abandoned in favour of football, tree climbing and chasing the local cats whilst wearing high heels and a tablecloth. The sound of laughing, shouting and children just being children heralds the start of another happy, outdoor season.


I’m wearing….

my lovely blue, soft, zip-up fleece. It disappeared during the decorating onslaught and has just resurfaced in a drawer I forgot I had. I know, I know, blame ‘fibro fog’! Lovely to make it's acquaintance again especially as the weather is still rather unseasonal, and to snuggle down into the comforting, outsized warmth.
