A taste of france

A tasty supper:-)

  1. That looks luscious.

    1. Indeed it was. It was like an actual fondue contained within a camembert’s skin. Taste!

  2. And are those grilled tuna steaks? Or maybe salmon?

    1. I think that would be the slices of toast for dipping in the molten cheese

Only in Brighton

Spotted this chap as I arrived in Brighton theis morning…

    I can’t quite see what it is… is it a man on a really high bike? How bizarre – guess it means your trouser legs don’t get splashed when you go through puddles! Surely a bit difficult for drivers to spot though?

  2. I wonder what benefit there is from such a high riding position … what does he do at traffic lights – rest his foot on a nearby car?

    Very odd. As you say, ‘only in Brighton’. Maybe he was an escapee from a circus.

Snowman

Spotted this snowman on the walk back from station. It’s so big my head only came up to the top button.

The epic snow here seems to have sent the locals into a frenzy of hoarding. We popped over to budgens for a bit of bread to find the shelves pillaged of all nourishment! There were tales of customers buying 16 bottles of milk – surely one can’t drink that much milk before it goes off!?

Anyway, given the amount of turkey in the freezer, we should be fine for food for a while…

  1. There’s been the same sort of frenzied buying at the local Co-op, according to Maza. Luckily, we have two 25kg sacks of brown rice in our cupboard … along with several bags of turkey ‘stock’ in the freezer, for flavouring!

    That is a good snowman – almost on a par with Calvin’s.

    It certainly is a good snowperson! The surface was so smooth; it must have taken ages to sculpt.

    Budgens is a bit freaky. Quite surreal to walk into. Thankfully there was a bag of spelt flour left so I’ve been able to make two loaves. It was quite good fun to make, so it might become a regular event.
