Turns out pistachio pesto is delicious #homecookedmeals

Wintery #dogwalking at Whinlatter Forest this weekend. Good for the soul.

Lovely lunch at Chapter 12 Coffee Room in #Penrith last week. The food was great. And the company wasn't half bad eh @hazmattmum?

I love this plant. It thrives year after year in this pot. Without me having to do much at all. Perfect for the #neglectedgarden

Amazing #fish dinners this weekend. Scallops and chorizo followed by chilli crab fried rice.

Playing Santa's elf this morning

After going on a course to get my cpd up-to-date, I am only now starting the cakes I promised for a Christmas Fayre tomorrow. Hopefully I can stay awake long enough to finish them!

So much rain today. Hope all my Cumbria friends have stayed safe and dry.

Look how sad she is to see that we are getting to the stage of autumn where there are more leaves on the floor than in the trees #winteriscoming❄️ #dogwalķing

Why does a tarte never take that many slices when you have loads of apples to use up? #Homegrown

Just seen my first Christmas advert. Surely it is still too early?

Lovely lunch at The Crown & Thistle Rockcliffe today courtesy of @hazmattmum thank you

Enjoyed a trip to the Colour exhibition @TullieCarlisle today. I wasn't sure what to expect but there are some really interesting exhibits.

Someone is very disappointed that it is "too cold" for me to come in #dogwalķing

Some of my #Halloween dishes were more successful than others this year.....

Tasty lunch @lowthercastle today

I have decided that playdate silence is the scariest sound that I have ever heard #kindergarden

The frosty mornings have started #weatherwatch #dogwalķing

The fireworks have started in earnest now. Evening walks with Xena are going to become challenging from now on. Does it get earlier each year or is it me?

A bit decadent for lunch but who doesn't like a warm salad (in this case pan fried mackerel and sun dried tomato - an old @Ginofantastico recipe) on a crisp autumn day #fish #FridayVibes
