Novemberish

Hello lovelies,

this week has been classically Novemberish.

There have been a couple of very cold mornings, where I've needed to scrape the ice from my car before the drive into work. 

It's also been foggy and dampness follows the early frost....displaying cobwebs on railings.......

The ducks quack hungrily as I pass...........

The evenings are often foggy too, closing in the world and turning the street light's glow into balls of hazy orange............

Most of the leaves have fallen off our little silver birch tree...........

It's kind of sad, but it does give me a clear view of the bird feeders, which I've started to fill again.......

 there's a Great Tit in this photo, can you see him?

Yay, the Blue Tit's are back..........hello Tom.........

spotting our garden friends always cheers my winter days.

When it's cold and damp outside I love to make comforting meals and treats. A very simple, but  wonderfully tasty desert was enjoyed yesterday.

Two of these huge Bramley apples..............

 made a delicious crumble..............

THIS simple recipe.

My blog posts seemed to have slowed down a bit at the moment don't they. These short, dark days are not the easiest for photography and in the background I'm still plugging away at writing my latest tutorial.......... 

It's nearly finished now :0)
