Lo! I am come to autumn, When all the leaves are gold; Grey hairs and golden leaves cry out The year and I are old.
In youth I sought the golden flower Hidden in wood or wold, But I am come to autumn, When all the leaves are gold.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Two healthy, protein-rich, endometriosis-friendly desserts:
At left, Chocolate Nut Bark--protein, fibre, and antioxidant-rich + Omega-3 & Vitamin E--plus, by following the customisation below, you'll end up with less sugar than in the original, diabetes-friendly recipe!
Original recipe: www.eatingwell.com/recipe/249999/chocolate-nut-bark/
My customisation is as follows:
1/2 cup mixed hemp seeds, flax seeds, popped amaranth, chopped hazelnuts
1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, pistachios, walnuts, hazelnuts)
1 cup 100% cacao pieces
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil
1/2-1 capful vanilla essence
Optional toppings: hemp seeds, chopped hazelnuts, golden raisins, dried cherries, etc.
1. Mix seeds and nuts in medium bowl.
2. Melt chocolate in medium, microwave-safe bowl, in microwave on 30-50 second intervals. Mix until smooth. Stir in coconut oil and vanilla.
3. Pour nut-seed mixture into chocolate. Mix until completely incorporated.
4. Spread into a rimmed pyrex dish or baking tin, smoothly lined with foil.
5. Sprinkle optional toppings over the top, and let set in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
6. Cut bark into small pieces with a sharp knife.

I customised this dietician-approved recipe by using Fage fat-free vanilla Greek yoghurt, doing part honey and part maple syrup, using a mix of semi-sweet and 72% cacao chocolate, and sprinkling with popped amaranth, hemp seeds, KIND peanut butter granola, and chunks of UNREAL peanut butter cups.
Stella seems intimidated by Sweetpea and they sometimes trade friendly blows, but they play together endlessly, the best of friends.
Canary Wharf, London. The huge Riverside development, where the foundations were completed about three years ago, are now home to one of Britian's rarest birds - the Black Redstart. This male flits around the enormous 60 foot deep concrete box just a few yards from my office. I hope to be able to get some better shots but the sheer depth of the construction site makes it impossible to get close to these lovely birds. They are a real oddity in that, although rare, they are usually found in proximity to man's activities. To put their UK numbers in context, there are around 40-80 individual birds present in the whole of the UK each year (nearly all in the south-east), compared with 20-25 million Blackbirds, for example!
