Above and below: our only window facing West, which is in the Junk Room (aka Library). One morning this week I set to and had a complete and utter sort out of the right hand side of the room, so that I could put an armchair in there and sit and read or sew in the afternoon when the sun comes round. As you can see, the Oak tree has suddenly put out leaves and is WAY ahead of the Ash again this year.
You'll have noted, I said "one morning this week." I am losing track of time, especially as we have no daily newspaper, don't have to go out for anything, and aren't marking the passing of the days by anywhere to go TO either.
Seeds (several Chillis, some Okra and Lemon Basil, amongst others) being started on the windowsill and far right, my Blackberry Wine is bubbling away like a good 'un. Then a comfy chair . . .
and a good book or two . . .
This is my hand-sewing for idle moments - it's going to be another table runner. I don't like to sit idle.
Above and below: Tam spent most of a day making up her home brew - not your open a tin and add water, this you made a mash of the barley and added two different sorts of hops too, and stood over it like an expectant mother, stirring every 15 minutes and checking the temperature religiously. Below: it is in the demijohn now, and in the Junk Room over a heated box (light bulb) to get it to work out.
Anyway, I know today is now Friday, and it's time for my bath . . . I had a baking session one day this week too, so I'll put up some recipes tomorrow.
