Just a few days left for my favorite flowers for this season. Seen close to the ruins of the Roman bath house. If only I could add the sounds of bird song that filled the air when I took this. They only sing like that when no predators are about. What a blessed evening to be alive.
This really isn't good enough.
There are several British Standards that this footpath fails to meet.
Massive social care costs to councils means that there is little money left to maintain the streets.
This really isn't good enough!
walking everywhere takes a little time but one sees things along the way that sometimes takes my breath away
Within minutes of the last car leaving the barriers were disassembled and stacked, ready to be transported to the next location.
I was amazed by the well-practiced efficiency of effort. The circus moves on.
Under conservation at the Windermere Jetty Museum.
The workshop is a world-leader in the conservation of boats and all things marine.
More rain, so what to do? Make some pasta, of course!
I used some 00 flour, salt, egg, oil. Tried the pasta machine for the first time and it was a disaster! Some noodles worked, but the dough was too sticky and wrapped around the rollers. My friend tells me now to put it in the fridge for an hour or so.
If it's not timely, is it helpful?!
With all that being said, this was a banging lunch.
Dinosaur was coined by Lancastrian paleontologist, Richard Owen. Owen was the first superintendent of the Natural History museum when it opened in 1883.
Someone kindly observed that my potato dish ( flic.kr/p/2qUY3kS ) was like dauphinoise potato but without the cream. And so, 'fauxphinoise potato' is born!
WEll, here's a portion that I re-heated with some smoked bacon and sliced tomato. The brown splodge is A1 Sauce.
Brown sauce is very popular in northern England and Scotland. It is only marketing that has made HP Sauce the market leader (invented in 1899 in Nottingham) whereas the infinitely more palatable A1 Sauce was invented in 1824 by William Brand, chef to King George IV (who knew his food!).
HP Sauce gets its distinctive tang from tamarind paste; A1 sauce has orange puree, among other things. I was lucky enough to procure a bottle yesterday. Huzzah!
There's a new ramen shop in town, but this is the long-established picture framer's shop. Very helpful and friendly people.
Elevated workers' terrace on Moor Gate.
I'm mystified by all the Halloween hullabaloo. Today is Samhain. Tomorrow is All Souls.
Reflect on the dead, and revel in life. And don't take anything too seriously, baby
Today's lunch was a soup of butternut squash, sweet potato, tomato, and garlic. I finished it with some grated cheese and basil leaves and black pepper.
We have been blanketed by gloomy nimbostratus clouds for days, and I needed some warmth, color and comfort today!
Here's a recumbent trike made by Inspired Cycle Engineering in Cornwall. It looks seriously kitted out for daily use and indeed that's what it's for. I met the owner who was of mature years. "It keeps me mobile," he said.
Cooling the stew in a cold water bath before putting in the fridge.
It's important to cool and refrigerate food within two hours after cooking in order to prevent harmful bacteria growing.
The petals are optional - they do nothing at all, but if I were selling this, I think I could add 10 quid to the asking price =]
The exterior of the music room. All that remains of a house built in 1730 for a wealthy lawyer. Now a coffee shop and hotel room upstairs. Its parlous and fragile condition restored by The Landmark Trust.
The quiet square is more like something in Croatia or Italy i think. But minus the sun!
