the Kitchen Diaries by Nigel Slater. I have really warmed to this rather different celebrity chef, who freely admits he enjoys the odd fish finger, but mostly because he refused to have fireworks on Bonfire Night because they would upset his cats. I love his style of cooking too, simple, seasonal dishes that he dubs right food, right place, right time.
I'd love to know more about his cats though!
I'm watching.....
two diminutive grey squirrels which appear to have taken up residence in some oak trees behind my house, in the remains of an ancient Devon hedge. They spend all morning chasing each other up and down the branches performing their acrobatic feats with wild abandon. In 21 years in this house never before have we seen squirrels so regularly.
There was the baby that Goggins brought in about 10 years ago and who escaped by running up the house wall and over my neighbours roof, and the autumn squirrel who has been seen the past couple of years burying acorns from the trees at the front. Now at last it looks like we have a resident pair and I for one am rejoicing.
I'm wearing.....
a woolly hat and mittens and my thickest winter coat. STILL.
It is now the second week of April, Easter is upon us and it is still feezing out there. Just when are we getting our Spring? Or, joy of joys, are we going straight into summer this year? I have seen forecasts for another very hot summer. Watch this space.
