I’m sure Sarah and Kat didn’t think
they would be roasting chestnuts on an open fire when they came out for their ‘summer’
holiday but that’s exactly what we did last night. They came home from walking Ricky through the
chestnut woods with their pockets bulging with chestnuts. They were delicious. I couldn’t resist bursting into song until
Kat muttered something about Nightmare Before Christmas.
This morning we have woken to a
countryside bathed in fog. I took Rick
out early and it was quite spooky walking through the dripping woods. The weather is not doing a good job of
convincing Sarah to move back to Europe.
We are off to explore more castles
this afternoon. Rick is coming with us.
The only time I've ever had roasted chestnuts was on the street corners when we were in Paris one fall.
ReplyDeleteI don't eat many, just one or two. This is chestnut country, our region is famous for it.
DeleteBetter weather tomorrow, or after tomorrow, or next week.
ReplyDeleteI think it might be foggy again in the morning. Lovely evening though now.
DeleteBeautiful day here. Almost Indian Summer. I hope it carries on. Chestnuts round the fire is good though. I have lit the woodburner tonight even though I don't really need it; I lit it for company!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a sunny afternoon and evening. Cold though now the sun is going down so we have the woodburner on. Log fires are good company!
DeleteSarah should move further south. It's been another hot and sunny day here, with people on the beach and in the sea. 32º around 8 p.m. and I still have the doors and windows open. We're all longing for cooler weather.
ReplyDeleteSo Rick is getting some more culture then !
Clear blue skies this morning so temperatures should rise today.
DeleteYes, it was a warm day in Ireland too the temp went to 24deg C for awhile and then dropped to 22
ReplyDeletewhich made it a happy day for us.
It was like a winter's morning yesterday with a summer's evening.
DeleteSounds like all's pretty right in your world Mother Hen !
ReplyDeleteTime is passing all too quickly.
DeleteEither Sarah is a giantess or those are very small horses.
