Three more days until school is out for the summer. Can’t wait. I’m tired. This is partly because it has been a loooooong term and partly because it was a reeeeally good weekend. Fatigue is not conducive to blogging so I shall be back with flatbread and babaganoush and a couple of summer cocktails once I’ve perked [...]

We went walking down in Glen Feshie a couple of weeks ago. Wonderful day. Sunny skies and gorgeous scenery. Unfortunately, the light was so bright my pictures didn’t come out well at all. Got a few of my pup enjoying himself though.

I was recently contacted by the Scottish Refugee Council asking if I would like to participate in and raise awareness of Refugee Week 2009. The campaign aims to raise awareness of refugees’ contributions to society through a wide range of cultural and educational programmes nationwide.

This nubbly, nutty bread has been gracing my breakfast table this week. I’ve been enjoying its crumbly texture and earthy taste very much indeed.
