Autumnal morning ..... baking scones
20th
August 2016 (Saturday)
.... 08.00 Everything is wet after prolonged
overnight rain, but it is ‘bright and sunny’ and a nice morning for doing something .... as long as it isn’t gardening. I’m going to have breakfast before
deciding
what I want to do this morning; baking scones
is near the top of the list. I could make
some scones then Jimmy and I could have our own ‘CM’ in the Hutte. Yes..... I think that will be the ‘plan’. But, right now I need food.

21.00 This has been a funny old day as far as
the weather went; we’ve had dry and wet
spells most of the day, with the evening ending up the with sunny spells... the
best part of the day for weather’.
I
have kept busy most of the day .... starting with the scones for ‘our’ Hutte
Coffee Morning which was crowded... the Hutte being nigh on full to capacity....
i.e. Jimmy and me. We had warm scones
with syrup of “Out of the strong came forth sweetness”
fame. I had
coffee and Jimmy had his Lemon tea. Unfortunately
there was a serious lack of gossip er news, but that was
understandable; Jimmy’s hearing aid was
needing a new battery, so he didn’t hear anything of note. He didn’t hear anything! This didn’t stop me talking ... ‘cos talking is what you do at Coffee
Mornings. Jimmy took out his I-pad,
which is loaded with 10,000 photographs, .... and we had a look at a few of those.

I
spent the afternoon sorting out the photographs I’ve taken when ‘M’ and I have
been ‘out’ ... all 1451 of them. ‘M’
is not on all of those, but she is on a few!
I’ll miss ‘M’ being around, (and as my ‘model’), when she goes orf home
in a couple of weeks! Landscape scenes
come ‘alive’ with someone in them.
With
the rain clearing away in the evening I went for a walk up to The Boss’s seat
...
and was pleasantly surprised to find a posy of flowers alongside my
rose. My rose is not a lonely rose
anymore. “Thank You” to whoever left
them .... Maggie was a special person indeed.
From Chapel Green I took a meandering
route across the golf course, back to Ivy.

According
to the weather forecast we are going to have ‘bright and sunny’ for most of
tomorrow.... and ‘agreeably’ warm’. I
might get up, and out, early.
