Lime Avenue – Clumber Park, Notts
And finally, for Sunday, Lazy Sunday Afternoon by the Small Faces. My era, my sort of lightweight listening, and a perfect description of my Sunday afternoon. Web lunched on a cheese scone with onion relish, a pear and, in my case, the last of my home made pickled eggs. It had matured nicely and went well with the scone. After Julia left for the cafe, I sat down to watch Fake or Fortune and fell asleep. I often fall asleep watching this, which I attribute to its relaxing qualities, rather than boredom.
I woke up when Julia returned, springing into action as the key turned in the lock and having the kettle on by the time she had removed her shoes and asked “What have you done this afternoon?”
I’d planned on Banana Cake, cheese scones and pickled eggs, but it had not, of course, worked out like that. Looks like I may be making Banana Cake tomorrow. If I don’t, the “very ripe” bananas required by the recipe (which I have been nurturing for a week) could be a little over the top.
The TESCO delivery has arrived, so time for me to go and look useful.

Later . . .
Turkey tonight – it’s last year’s back-up, which has been in the freezer a while. We will be having Vegetable Wellington for Christmas dinner and probably buy a turkey crown for the week after as Julia likes traditional food. In truth, I don’t rally like turkey, but I do like turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwiches. Some years we don’t actually get round to cooking the turkey at Christmas,, which is why we have turkey today. It has made quite a gap in the freezer. I suppose I will have to fill the gap with another turkey crown. I note from the ingredients that only 90% of our turkey crown is turkey, the rest is water, milk protein, salt and a couple of other things. That water is probably more expensive than Perrier. I really should check. It will give me something else to moan about.
