And the North Wind Doth Blow

Up with the lark again this morning - best part of the day I think - watching it gradually get light and watching the widlife in the garden. This morning Robin, Blackbird and one of the squirrels were up early - we have some sweetcorn cobs that have gone over so we have put them out and the squirrels love them - they pick them up whole and eat them just as a human would (without the butter dripping down their chin obviously!).

The forecast wind is just starting to appear so I've quickly whisked the mower over the lawn and have come back in before it gets too bad.

Whilst surfing the web yesterday I came across this wonderful website - it's inspirational on both a culinary and travel level. The photography is wonderful. www.101cookbooks.com

Reading wise I'm thoroughly enjoying The 19th Wife - it's a wonderful tale and I'm learning loads about the Mormons and Latter Day Saints in America (a real eye opener).
