So, what's been happening.......
Lots of snow. Bert loves it. I make sure I keep the bird table stocked up for the birds. This little robin was eating some left over pastry.
Since it's still not fit outside to garden, I have been planning what I'm going to grow this year and amusing myself by trying some of the recipes in Monty's 'Fork to Fork' gardening/cooking book. His pizza base recipe is really good and the tomato sauce too.
Since I never seem to have much success with baking cakes, I decided to try and master pastry instead. With a little help from Nigella I made a cheese and onion pie.
Both the pie and the pizza were so good I didn't manage to take a picture of the finished things as we ate them, but here they are pre-oven!
I spotted a massive old minerals map hanging in the geography department at Uni. Codnor Park Iron works is on it. It's hard to find Codnor Park on a map these days, but it definitely exists as I was born there and my mum, dad and mama still live there.
Went to Lytham this week as part of my course to view the sea front. It's a really pretty place but it was incredibly cold on the jetty.
Also - White cat is still with us, looks like another permanent member of the family. Bosie's ankles aren't getting better as quickly as I would like so I'm going to get the vet to visit again.
