Once we're well into Autumn I too am ready to be positive about it, and there is so much to enjoy this time of year. Good food for one! You had me drooling at the cake! <br />Autumn to me is being to snuggle on the sofa early in the evening with a cosy blanket, the dog on my lap, a good book, crochet or a good film. And a slice of your hubbys cake would be good! <br />Gill xxgillyflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410673843788487544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044399031300661767.post-75177388436477715142014-10-22T21:56:01.660+01:002014-10-22T21:56:01.660+01:00Oh I love inside cosy time and pyjamas too, wonder...Oh I love inside cosy time and pyjamas too, wonderful.

Doesn't taste quite as earthy. I chopped it and sautéed it in extra virgin olive oil with garlic, a little chilli, cherry tomatoes and almonds and stirred through pasta. It was really yummy. The only improvement I could make, I decided, was adding a little diced bacon (sorry if you're a veggie!). Basically, treat it like spinach - it wilts quite quickly after a quick shallow fry. I have actually made a pesto from it before too. xPink Milkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05664644078460614884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044399031300661767.post-80351499324879515902014-10-15T16:39:43.406+01:002014-10-15T16:39:43.406+01:00Oh my, just loving your Autumnal images.

I'm having to cram a weeks worth of my own family stuff into just one day, and spend the rest of the week doing stuff for others. As a result I'm seriously behind with everything and have NO time for anything creative. I realise that I have to change the way I'm viewing things, otherwise I'll go crazy. Whilst I am not liking grey and rain, I'm loving the autumnal misty mornings.....They. Are.

But as I have to accept autumn and winter I just like hot tea, an open fire and some nice crochet work.

I've dug out the extra quilt, we have one of those that you fasten together to get the full winter warmth. I have also managed to find a more autumnal oil for my burners, it doesn't seem right to have fresh cotton or green tea on these dark-never quite light days. We were also looking at door-curtains online last night as we have doors that look nice but that have a big gap on the ones that go into an even more drafty room-tonight I'm going to set up some sort of Heath Robinson contraption to hang in front of the gap I think! <br />Enjoy the new season and be well xCleo Bonbonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17934423344418330018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044399031300661767.post-67090153950890202852014-10-15T14:37:03.239+01:002014-10-15T14:37:03.239+01:00That's the spirit !!
