Pheasant, Wellies and Playing

19 Apr

Driving down the lane this morning, a colourful Pheasant walked along in front of us.

B’s yellow Wellies , decorated as they are by her Mum and Dad, are unique.

Special yellow wellies

A cold wind kept us indoors today and B played with the old wooden toys we had brought with us. More about these in a soon- to- be post.

1 ‘A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost” I follow Lesley Carter’s blog http://lesleycarter.wordpress.com/2012/02/06/a-sister-is-a-little-bit-of-childhood-that-can-never-be-lost/ and hope my own dear sister will read this post and recognise some of us in it. Thank you, Lesley.

2 Made some fabulous soup today with the stock made last week from the chicken, duck and pheasant bones and some Beluga lentils. Delicious!

3 Finally caught up with the making of Earthflight -what skill.

Radio 4, Redruth and the Present of a Pheasant

03 Feb

1 I just love Radio 4! Today, we’ve had the delightful David Attenborough on Desert Island Discs, the inimitable Samuel Pepys and his very entertaining Diary and this afternoon, John Steinbeck’s ‘The Pearl’ beautifully dramatised. Tomorrow we are promised Michael Morpurgo’s ‘Private Peaceful’. Brilliant!

2 We shopped in a very busy Redruth this afternoon, beautiful sunshine, a lovely busker and everything we needed. I am so glad we moved back to Cornwall and especially to Redruth! I just love David Kemp’s Tinners’ Hounds!

3 Lucy came home from her trek-training on Dartmoor on Monday with a ready jointed pheasant for us, sent by Brenda with whom she stayed over. I’ve cooked it in cider as Brenda suggested and used Delia Smith’s recipe serving it, as she suggests, with caramelised apples.Lucy took homemade marmalade and Cornish Daffodils.
