On Castle Hill

It's been a busy day again. So what's for tea?

A bowl of steamed baby sprouts, red and green capsicums, steamed in the nuke for 4 minutes, and drizzled with flic.kr/p/2qSh4pt and a few grinds of pepper and salt for good measure. Unlike the focus here, it was adequate.

From the Wiki:

Found at the bottom of a hedge. It deserves its day in the sun.

When your new computer is delivered with a cracked screen, don't be upset. Make pickles 😁

Not a bad way to feel.

Near Weir Wood Reservoir

Said Bear turned up this morning for breakfast. His factory name is 'Happy' but he's always found that a bit presumptuous. So, Said Bear it will be for now.

Just the shell of this early school remains. Now it's used to garage ambulances. It's a nice source of rent for someone.

Approaching the little ferry terminal. Seen is the RNLI Fleetwood lifeboat station and the state of the art lifeboat.

I love salads.

The grandchildren loved this roaring T-rex

I always enjoy the early stages of making soup; the vivid colors and heady fragrances as the base develops is so entertaining. Here we see the spinach and red capsicums beginning to sweat. The red onions and garlic are underneath, gently infusing the mixture with their aromatic, savory notes.

Which is the odd one?

Answer: the pink one. It's linen 😅

Anna Thorvaldsdottir's music is helping me to change step, change pace, this morning. it's so easy to become synchronized with the world's rhythms that one loses track of one's own beat.

In the grounds of the old asylum is this forgotten reservoir. Thankfully fenced off from people. The wildlife just gets on with being wild. Through a chink in the fence this wonderful view brought me peace for a moment or two.

As you can see here, I am already ahead of the game. These pickled carrots are into their maturing phase before eating.

I saw this in the window at Garstang. So of course I had to have a pie. Nobody's getting me!

Astilbe chinensis

Pretty, eh

An abundance of blackberries whizzed together with yoghurt and ice water. Basil to garnish bc my mint plant has given up!

Breakfast of champions. Aka you and me.

Have a great day 👍

Romany Travellers heading to Appleby horse fair.

The shape of this van is quite unusual. The finishings were exceptional. Seen here this morning on busy King Street.

...maybe.

I loved to walk to work once.
