Indila – « Dernière danse »


The weather has turned twice this morning.
I was up early ( for me) and took the Welsh to the beach for a long walk along the Prom.
We shared a cheese Flatbread on the way home and I treated myself to a large white coffee, which I’m still sipping , even if it is cold .
It was windy but not cold on the beach but now it’s started to rain and I’ve been in the garden cutting roses and am chilled and damp.
I’ve filled in the gaps with honeysuckle 


By 1pm I was hungry, after all the Welsh Had eaten most of my breakfast. 
The treat today was fish and chips, and when cooked by an experienced chippie , is a meal worthy of any Michelin star chef.
Bloody lovely

  1. The singing has that feel of Fado (sp?)
    The weather is throwing everything at us in rapid succession! Good to get a walk in.
    I like the arrangement..the honeysuckle gives it that extra something

    Before they sold up and left Wales for Portugal friends of ours ran a fish and chip take out. The best fish and chips ever..ever. I do like that singer and your roses are lovely! I am just making a steak and onion and. Blue cheese sandwich for an early lunch or maybe its brunch. Gigi

  7. Lovely flowers. Haven't had chippy chips (or any chips for that matter) for years. Not the same since they stopped wrapping them in newspaper. Must've been the ink that added that je ne sais quoi! xx

    2. Vegetarian, so no fish for me! I used to like the scraps. (The little bits of cooked batter left in the fat, for your American readers) Do they still do them? xx

      Big learning curve “ chippy” is a new word
      It means something very different in the OLD US

    Nothing better than a vase full of roses except some with honeysuckle artfully arranged with them. It's raining here too and a bit nippy ... funny that. Hope you had a good sleep.

      I hope I'm not dampening the mood, but this song was a favorite of Emma, who died so young of glioblastoma. She was a colleague's daughter 😢

  18. A lovely song and a charming singer! That photo of your meal is so tempting I might treat myself this week. I really enjoy fish and chips.

    Have been following the news about Michael Mosley and hoping desperately for a good outcome. Struggling today to lift my spirits. I listen often to him on I Player and am so used to his voice. Sometimes it is hard to make your own sunshine.
