Into Autumn
In Clapham yesterday, I wandered further up towards Battersea Rise than I had been before. There are a number of little bars and shops to be explored at a later date. The sun has swung lower, shooting out from the side streets as I pass.
I picked up a British cookbook for my father and I’m really thrilled with it. The Hairy Bikers’ book looked great, but this caught my eye. It has loads of classic meat, fish and puddings in it that he’ll love to make. Both of us have really caught the cooking bug over the last few years. I made a lovely kedgeree for a friend on Saturday. She asked for seconds, which is very flattering. We had Prosecco, wine and some Amaretto later on.
I saw my first poppy on the Tube this evening. Too early, I think.
I have booked the restaurant where I’ll celebrate my 40th birthday next month. That means it’s real now.
