rainy days and thursdays

And November begins! Rain and wind and gloom. Luckily my friend Deb really inspired me and autumnal breakfasts in this tiny thimble of a flat now consist of porridge. Warming, blanketing porridge. Podge, as a sister calls it.

I like it best with fruit - maybe plums or apple thrown in at the start - but more cupboard-friendly for the busy, is jam. Home made in Cornwall, Sussex, Hammersmith or Hampshire, if you have productive and generous relatives!

And here is my fabulous coffee, the beans ground in my new grinder a moment before brewing.

I think I am ready to face the day now!
