Had to do the big shop today. @RevRichardColes is out tonight so I thought a simple supper. Fresh oysters with a gin and tonic and I bought myself some flowers too. It’s important to reward yourself once in a while, don’t you think?

I’d already made the obligatory half dozen steak and potato and the oven was hot so I thought why not whack a custard in too.

And he always hogs the remote come rain or shine and it ALWAYS has to have guns and violence. If I don’t give in the atmosphere is unbearable. Don’t think I’m not on to you Coles.

A Sunday December afternoon, warm fire, full tummies.... and they call it puppy love. Gusto and Aud could not be happier, specially after their post-church scamper in the woods with @RevRichardColes

The ground is very damp. Good time to plant a tree. Ethiopia managed a couple of million in ONE day. I’ll be happy if I can get 10 cuttings in. woodlandtrust.org.uk/protect…

Just call me Bond, James Bond. Super model to the mid Atlantic sea. The dinner jacket was polyester but the diamonds were very real, so real I had security follow me to the loo.

My 6yo niece Olivia had to get glasses today. She’s nearsighted like her Uncle Stephen, so she will wear them all the time. As you can see, she wasn’t thrilled. Can fellow glasses wearers show her some love? I will read her all the responses ❤️👓❤️

I quite agree Flora. If you had to put a desert before oysters; what would it be? Lemon meringue for me.
In fact, life is so short that at least once a week, eat desert first. No guilt, just pleasure.

Remember, remember, the 5th November. Gunpowder, treason and plot. So we did in the garden. We remembered those who gave their lives to stand up for what they believe.

And we’re off. Shall update when finished. It’s for bonfire night in case I run out of Parkin. Strawberry cream cake. Not exactly traditional but always goes down well.
