Secrets of the Blog

What I didn't tell you was that while I was sitting in Costa Coffee using up all their bandwidth to provide you with the latest edition of this literary work, there was a lump of pork sitting in the over slow roasting it's way to loveliness. This time I tried something different and in addition to roasties, individual yorkshire puds, and broccoli, I also provided some orange glazed carrots, which went down well.

Gel provided the pudding of Apple, Pear and Plum Crumble.

Pheebs, Gel and I enjoyed our Sunday roast in the company of Caitlin and Andy, who have just embarked on the tortuous journey to buying their first house. We get all the pleasure of criticising other people's taste in home furnishing, they have to actually find somewhere to buy.

After tea, I rang Pets Life Line in Keswick, to find out how our two kittens are doing, and to arrange what time we'll pick them up on Sunday (OMG OMG OMG).

If you remember back to the "No Underpants" edition of the blog, I had got up early and headed off to Derbyshire to scout out some photo locations for later in the year. However, the weather was atrocious and it wasn't much fun. So I decided to have another go this week as there weather forecast was very much better.

This time I went directly to Castleton to see if I could get a shot of the valley in the early morning mist. I realised I was WAY too late as I arrived at the location just as about 8 photographers were returning to their cars. Still, it was worth going to see the view so that if I do go back in the dead of winter I'll have some idea what to expect.

And very nice it was too.

Tomorrow should start with another flapjackless bike ride. Let's hope the weather plays ball.
