Rescue

Kate, the director of the choir I sing in, had promised to teach Lizzie and me about how to cook different kinds of seaweed. We finally found a morning when we were all free, and drove over to her house, which is on a farm at the end of a track just outside Moniaive. Sarah came too, and Sarah' friend Nicole, who has come to stay and only arrived this morning on the overnight bus from London.

One of Kate's rescue cats had brought in this beautiful thrush, which she was able to release back into the garden unharmed.

We had a lovely morning, learning, cooking and eating lots of delicious seaweed dishes. The smell brought back happy memories of seaside holidays. I feel ridiculously healthy!
