Wrap up warm, it's cold outside

We had a frosty start yesterday morning, so I took a few photo's. The village green looks as pretty as a picture. I love the autumn colours. Some people call this area in the centre of the village, the paddock, but years ago it was known as the chicken field, because, yes, it had chickens on it.   

Next a little bimble through the churchyard.

 Love these frosty red leaves tumbling over the wall.

And the avenue of trees through the middle. Then the battery went flat in the camera, so no more pics. Thought I might go and take some more this morning, but it was raining.

This was my lunch today. Yes, I know it looks a bit like vomit, but it was filling, and it was very tasty. A friend gave me one large flat mushroom, surplus to her requirements. I cut it up and cooked it in a little oil and a dollop of wholegrain mustard. I added half a tin of  haricot beans, and scrambled two eggs in the mix. Served on a bed of spinach, with a tomato and some pickled onions.

Quick catch up on a couple of items. Remember the outdoor cat litter tray filled with sand? I am sorry to report that the kitties have not ventured into it yet. Bugsy does his whoopsies in one of the indoor trays, usually in the middle of the night, but I don't know where the girlies are going. Maybe if I try the tray in a different part of the garden. I'll see if there is any interest if I move it around.

I have quite a lot of sunflower seeds now. Perhaps someone could tell me, do I have to do anything to them before I eat them? Roast them, cook them, or grind them up perhaps. Or just sprinkle on food. I used to buy them in a packet a long time ago but can't remember what I did with them.

Well isn't this flippin amazing. I've had the settee and chairs covered up for years to protect them from cat hairs, and they never bothered to lie on them. What happens the minute I take the covers off, Heidi cat decides this is her new bed.

Did anyone watch Last Tango in Halifax, last year, the drama set in Yorkshire, staring Derek Jacobi and Ann Reid? It was about two silver surfers meeting and falling in love. Well it's back on a Tuesday night at 9pm on BBC 1. You can of course do what I do and watch it on the BBC iplayer

Well worth a look, the acting is superb, and the story line keeps you on the edge of your seat. I'm glad it's back, something to look forward to on a Wednesday night. Here's a short trailer.


Toodle pip.
