Walking in the rain
Some mornings when it’s raining I really enjoy just being out and walking. If nothing else it makes you really appreciate the warm sunny days. This morning the light was amazing. it started very flat and grey but by the end of my walk the rain had stopped and the sun was starting to break…
Read MoreIn a pickle
They may not be the most sociable things but I just LOVE pickled onions! And home made ones are the best. So two nights ago I tucked myself up in front of the wood burner with a couple of bags of small onions and a sharp knife and set about my first pickles of the…
