It’s done. It took far too long, but at last, I can say ‘It is done.’ The torment is over. I have blurbed, for the first time.

Over the last few days I have baked/created/roasted/casseroled/

sour dough bread-twice, mince pies, of course, treacle tart, tomato soup-twice (Tom Kerridge) lemon curd, meringues, wild boar steak cooked with thyme and garlic, a rosemary-infused lamb casserole, welsh rarebit filo parcels, red cabbage (Valentine Warner), carrots braised in butter and star anise ( Kerridge again), cranberry and port sauce , and creme brulee (Nigella).

A cookathon indeed.

Love it!

A bit of R+R after eight hectic weeks.

Beautiful beaches at Bude, even in stormy weather. And I couldn’t resist playing with filters.
Relaxation takes practice. I think I need to spend more time on it.
