Bake Off



I bought sunflowers from Aldi tonight.
They look cheerful in the kitchen as the autumn evening draws in. 
The Great British Bake Off starts tonight


Another signal that winter is almost here.
I’ve lit the fire as Roger is gleefully chasing a daddy long legs around the kitchen . 
It’s a habit William used to do with honey bees in the garden and it pleases me to see Roger playing the same games
Weaver is sat under my desk and has already grumbled at Mary as she ambled to the sofa to sleep her old lady sleep.
I’m counselling all day tomorrow so have put beef and vegetables in the slow cooker with stock , chillies and Worcestershire sauce…..beef stew is a great supper on an autumn night.

I will leave you with this video , which a friend sent me this morning , a memory from 2018
The best memory of an awful year…..thanks to you guys I raised 5 grand for Samaritans , even though I looked like Shelley Winters in a sleeping bag

    Oh, I wish I had the nerve! But I suppose, once I’m strapped in there is nothing to do but enjoy…hmmmm. Olivia

  4. You're a braver man than I, Gunga Din! Made my stomach turn just watching from the comfort of my armchair. But what a fantastic amount you raised! Did you enjoy it, or was it definitely a one off? xx
