And a good visit with mum with plenty of smiles and laughs. As I arrived home I saw a pile of logs that were delivered this afternoon. I helped J barrow them and stack them (haphazardly) in the woodpile

The children helped me milk the goat

Then it was present opening time with a strong BEE theme

We play backgammon – but not for money……yet!

There are also cuddles with Mabel

I saw at least three buzzards sling Bushmead road and two kestrels and one woodpecker on the wing. Driving home from St Neots I stopped at the side of Mill Road to photograph and film (in slow motion) another buzzard

Sometimes I get bored with my cookery repertoire and then look for new (but always uncomplicated) recipes. This morning it’s chocolate cake (to be sandwiched together later with chocolate butter icing)

And here are some black bean burgers. With both recipes I omitted the ingredients I was missing and substituted others or left them out all together.
