I’M ONLINE, listening to the David Jacobs Collection on BBC’s iPlayer feature.
And wafting down the hall from the kitchen is my latest slow-cook experiment: a Bonfire Night Sausage Hotpot. It’s still got four hours to go, too!
Anyhow, I’m somewhat shocked to discover that it’s already February; the daylight hours are growing perceptibly longer, and despite the heavy frosts we’re experiencing I’m amazed to see crocuses shooting up in the front garden and many of the trees at the back already in bud.
Heartening little heralds of spring!
Oh, roll on the end of this rather dreary winter!
