Marmalade, Cake and A Visitor

We froze Seville oranges in January so that we could make the marmalade when we had time. Today we have made several month’s worth!

I also made the coffee cake for tomorrow’s market, the first this year.

My lovely Mr S just managed to catch the woodpecker as it was leaving the feeders. I love this photo of the wings in flight.

Woodpecker, Flowers and A Poem

What a delightful visitor came to our bird feeder this morning! The photo is taken from the kitchen, through the utility room and another six meters up the garden so is on max zoom and a little blurry.

We took some of our last flowers to Ti today – Alstroemeria, Dahlia, Cosmos, Hesperantha and Verbena Bonariensis – all in flower in November!

Ti has a poetry book, a poem for every day of the year. She was delighted when I read today’s poem to her. I also read the poems for all our birthdays which I will share on those days.
