A bit of culture

The weather last week was perfectly lovely - warm, springlike (as I remember Spring should be) and uplifting. On Sunday (Mother's Day) we took a trip to a National Trust property - Greenway. Greenway was Agatha Christie's summer home which she bought before the war for the princely sum of £6k. (massive home overlooking the river Dart with 33 acres). My how we all did spit with envy. It was all very beautiful:

Naturally, the weather took a turn back to it's Global Warming norm on Monday and it is bloody freezing again.

Made muesli the other day - have done this a few times from Nigella's 'Feast' book - very readable book this is. It tastes lovely and I do feel very wholesome eating it.

Talking of food..... horror of all horrors, I had a phonecall from Masterchef. Instead of hanging up immediately when the chappie introduced himself, I heard myself feebly muttering 'ooh, hello...' anyway, I must have come across as a real drip as I went blank on the question 'what would be a typical 3 course meal you would cook for friends?' I toyed with the idea of telling him that I didn't have any friends but he was pretty determined. He also asked me if I had ever worked in a pro kitchen to which I spat out (with some venom it has to be said) 'Good God no'. Barely managed to refrain from adding that I would rather pull my own teeth out but he had moved on to the next interrogation. Apparently if I am 'lucky' enough to be selected for an audition I will hear pretty soon. Oh dear. I have never really been a 'lucky' person so the odds are I may yet get the dreaded summons. Really have got to knock this on the head.....

Oh - and a bit of scrapping. Unusually not for any challenge or Design Team, but just for me.
