Wonderful...absolutely wonderful.

 


Hearty Easter greetings from Sophie who has been up since five thirty  and has already chased black and white C-A-T off the woodpile and out of the barn.

At the cafe we are given not one but two croissants. The young lady behind the counter practices her well meaning but execrable English on me . ' Good mourninghs mayteeh. How is weees tuesday ?'.  I smile. Sophie is a big fan of two croissant days.


A quick detour to the river to glare at cormorants and have a drink.


Then a sprint home along the valley floor before it gets too warm. When you're a nine year old PONette life is wonderful.... absolutely wonderful. This morning will be spent in the kitchen watching a leg of lamb being prepared - an event that ranks right up there among the years high points alongside the Christmas turkey. There may be gravy tonight !


Last night we dine, virtually, on Scotlands remote west coast : https://www.uigsands.co.uk/

They have found interesting things when excavating Notre Dame :https://www.inrap.fr/fin-des-fouilles-la-croisee-du-transept-de-la-cathedrale-notre-dame-de-paris-un-16452

And here's some ' Oh so English' Easter music :https://youtu.be/WVKW4iVkED4?t=103

One limitation of virtual dining - you don't get to experience the matchless, desolate beauty and expansiveness of an Outer Hebridean beach.
Nobby is yet to experience his first lamb bone, but lives in hope.
Happy Easter!
Cheers, Gail.

Two croissants - wow that's a real Easter treat! Chasing the black and white C-A-T out of the woodpile too? Easter is better than Christmas for the start of a best day ever!

I trust that lamb leg is now smelling 'proper', if not already under consumption! Blessings of the day to all at the ROF. YAM xx

Happy Easter, sounds like a wonderful way to start the day

Much to the PONettes irritation the lamb is being double cooked and won't be ready until this evening. This is considered cruel and unusual punishment.

Happy Easter everyone! Sophie’s recent hair cut is lovely.

Cat chasing, a long walk, *double* croissant ends and lambing lickings will make for a most happy Easter.
