Cool

We are back under the clouds, with a southerly breeze. It's chilly, damp and miserable outside.

Before the rain arrived Bean and I got out for a longer than usual walk, because I knew I'd be climbing the walls otherwise. Unfortunately I've been climbing the walls anyway!

It has largely been a cooking day - some root soup, a savoury squash pie, and pasteurising a churn of milk.

Amazingly I have found a back door into BBCSounds. It is perfectly legit, and must be a hole which the Beeb hasn't plugged - or which they don't know exists. Shhhh.

As a result I've been able to listen to some favourites from Radios 4 and 4Extra as I've cooked.

This daffodil isn't one of mine - although they are just about to come out in the garden - but one of a bunch brought by a friend 10 days ago. They are lasting well.
