Formula 1 Dinns

 Our dinner tonight was extra scrum.  We made so many different bits and bobs with chutneys and raita.  Yum yum yum.  Watching the F1 inbetween.  That was a big fat letdown.  We thought Hamilton should have taken it, given the rules but there you go.  We had a very delicious dinner and loved watching the race.  

Indian Feast tonight

An incredible one day sourdough

I've been experimenting with my sourdough over the past few months.  This was a one day loaf.  I  did a loaf the day before so I had unfed starter, therefore I fed my starter the day before, added the unfed (normally discarded) starter back into the dough.  Re-did my ratios.  It was a gorgeous result.  Andy scored it perfectly.  The lame he made for me is perfecto.  We are enjoying a few changes in my sourdough.  For a one day loaf, this is incredible.  

 

Our lillies

Our garden is a gift from Andy to me. Our lilies popping out, bright pink and white, smelling incredible. Our life here is partially our garden, and it is incredible. Thank you babe XX

Our first proper non medical trip ....

Since Covid we've gone away once.  To Switzerland last August for medical purposes.  This was our first proper excursion.  It was a beauty of a trip.  We drove through pretty heavy rain at times gotta say.  But.  We went high into the Austrian, Italian and Swiss Alps.  We saw the most beautiful German, Austrian, Swiss and Italian villages.  We (Andy) drove the Stelvio Pass.  We stayed at incredible little places which were indescribably gorgeous.  A lot of driving.  4 tanks of gas.  The car didn't miss a beat.  And, I drove all the way home from the Appenzell region in Switzerland! We had 6 country boarders on our 4 nights away.  It was awesome.  And we loved our brekkies of sourdough toast with great french salted butter and ...... marmite. The photos are pretty hit and miss (mostly miss).  I either couldn't see what I was taking or we couldn't stop on the passes so many are from the car.  But anyhoo...we absolutely loved it.  Luckily Nudge survived the stress of the torrential rain back at the ranch.  He was in the spare room cupboard which I thought I'd locked before we left.  Oops.  Fanny checked on him and finally found him.  I talked with her this morning on my run and she said after the first day he stayed in the cupboard the entire time.  He was still in the cupboard when we got home!!!
