This evening I was watching River Cottage Every Day and the topic of the programme was Breakfast. Hugh was singing the praises of oats and saying how he loved porridge.
I love porridge and it would be my breakfast of choice this probably stems from my grandmother (Nannan) She always made me porridge whenever I stayed over. However there was one morning that sticks with me and makes me giggle to this day.
Nannan and I were chatting while she was getting the porridge ready. Once it was ready, she got out the two bowls and sprinkled sugar on the bottom of them. So chatting away she started to pour the porridge into the bowls – however it was only after she had finished pouring into the first bowl that we realised it had all been poured into the sugar bowl!!!
I know that it’s not that funny and you probably had to be there but it still makes me smile – we had such great times and I still miss her. Some day soon I’ll tell you about walking on the beach – nothing funny just a happy memory.

Strange Notions
It rained last night – the weather for the last few days has been glorious – continental almost, but last night it rained. As the title of the post says there’s a strange notion floating around my head – I wish it was still raining.
I know I’ve mentioned previously my love of the rain – when I opened the front door to the cats this morning the fresh air was beautiful after the stuffy bedroom. I have a rule about rain – don’t get wet on the day you wash your hair any other day go and dance in the puddles.
This morning I’m in a dawdle & dance in the puddles kind of mood so that is another reason why I’d like it to be raining. Also I love the splashes from the rain drops – I could sit there entranced by it for hours.
However it’s not raining and I’ve dawdled for long enough – time to go out into the world.
