While we were away, a couple of friends came regularly to water our potted plants and tomatoes in the greenhouse. As the heatwave has ended, my phloxes have perked up again. I love their sweet scent.
On Monday I popped into M&S and treated myself to a small box of chocolates. They represent the taste of the British Isles, so Scottish chocs are raspberry-flavoured, English have a hint of honey, Irish - cream liqueur, and Welsh - sea salted caramel. I haven't decided which is my favourite flavour, perhaps I should buy another box, just for the purposes of research, of course.
On Tuesday I only snapped a piece of bread with Cornish butter. Very inspired piece, without doubt.
But the butter was good.
On Wednesday I baked a batch of honey and matcha muffins.
We're going to have a big crop of apples again this year. On Thursday Eddie and I watched Titanic, hugging each other for comfort.
Cyclamens are taking over my garden at the moment. They usually bloom twice, in spring and in autumn, and they look so pretty.
Today Eddie and I spent a couple of hours, working on a 3d jigsaw puzzle, a model of the Solar System from Ravensburger. I must pat myself on the head, the puzzle was delivered this morning, and the review should appear before Monday. I've been very good. Now where's my chocolate?!
Ahh! It is rubbish when you have no enthusiasm to take photos. I fear I will be the same next week after having a busy week....
ReplyDeleteThose chocolates sound delicious. I think you need to buy another box too and those muffins look interesting.
Well done on the quick review....It looks like a great puzzle. x
Thank you, Kim! I'm going to buy more chocs for sure.
Deletenever tried a 3d puzzle though have often though about them. Glad you mustered the enthusiasm for the review post at least.
ReplyDeleteThe chocolates are very pretty to look at, hope they tasted good.
Thank you, Elaine! We've got a lot of 3d puzzles, mostly famous buildings, they are lovely. The chocs were good.
DeleteI have weeks like that too where the photography love isn't there. The chocolates sound interesting, but the white chocolate ones would put me off. Certainly worth doing some more research though I think.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Erica! The white ones are not much to my taste either. I quite like white chocolate, when it's has a good amount of salt, for example, with salted pistachios.
Deletethe garden has done very well and you have lovely neighbours, the butter is a work of art and mmmmm to those chocolates
ReplyDeleteThank you, Suzanne! I love the Cornish butter, and always bring some back when we visit Cornwall; it doesn't last long though.
DeleteWe've got that puzzle too and the poster is now up in my son's bedroom. I do love your red and white crockery, very striking #365
ReplyDeleteI want to try those chocolates! I have never tried a 3D puzzle before but love the idea of doing a globe #project365
