I never thought I would say this but already I am missing the warmer weather.
I usually find sunny days far too hot, I like being cool. But here in the north of England the last couple of weeks have been cold ...and I mean cold. The central heating has clicked on a few times and it is set to only do that when temperature falls below 15 degrees. I even added another thin quilt onto my bed last night to keep me a bit cosier.
I love this meme, but in my head I sort of adapted it as I read it to suit our current weather conditions. Today for instance is the first day for two weeks that I have been able to get the washing out of the line to dry. I haven't been able to do much in the garden other than remove the decimated lupins from their pots. I fear there was no way to rescue them, the greenfly have won for the second year running.
But I am revelling in slowness, and the light lingers longer and longer as we head towards the 21st and the longest day of the year. I lay in bed last night watching the light slowly fade from below and above the curtains, remembering that as a child I hated being sent to bed when it was still 'daytime'.
I rescued the crusts from my toast, along with half a slice of toast that Alan couldn't finish when we went out for breakfast last weekend and I am currently turning them into some oniony, garlicky croutons to have with my homemade soup for tea.
It will be a nice simple, frugal and tasty evening meal on a day that is already turning just a little bit chiller.
Time to go and get the now dry washing in now I think.

Those croutons are Seriously Frugal! I bet they will taste good.
ReplyDeleteIt has been cold and wet in Staffordshire after the hot spell in May. Porridge for breakfast, and soup with salads. I baked a large rice pudding with cream and sultanas with the Sunday pot roast. I got my very old uniform cardigan out again, to wear over summer pyjamas, for reading in bed. The forecast is looking a bit better for next week.
