..I have decided, will be more of a pleasure and less of a chore.
The feeling of having a stock of home made dishes in the freezer is rather akin to having a good woodpile. Deeply satisfying.
I plan to have a smallish repertoire of easy, quick and healthy dishes, to keep a stock of good basic ingredients for a meal for any unexpected guests...I want to be a happier and more relaxed cook, a less grudging cook, a more organised cook, a more respectful and mindful cook, and I have accepted that if I want really good food (and I do) then I am going to have to make it myself.
And enjoy myself making it.

In desperation for some sunshine I have hung this painting 'Harvest' on the sitting room wall. it was inspired by the memory of a very hot and sunny day picnicking in a newly cut field..
The actual harvest here this year has not been a sunny one, but a very wet one. I took this photograph in the rain. Poor farmer!
