Dark, damp and dreary morning. Feeling the effects of a midweek gig followed by an early start for work ( totally worth it tho’!)
A few skeins of Pinkies over my town are spurring me on :-)

Just back from one of the best nights ever! Go see Pete Morton on this latest tour if you can. Pete is naturally hilarious and quick witted. The show is full of songs we all know, told in such a funny, engaging way and a history lesson too. Like nothing we’ve ever seen before. I’m still laughing 😂

So fortunate to have the fab music venue that is the Ropery Hall/Ropewalk in my town. Going to 3 of these folky events - the other 3 clash with other things however I’ll be seeing The Wilderness Yet over at Nettleham Live between Xmas and New Year 🎄🤶❄️☃️🎶

Yum. Over the weekend I made a healthy and wholesome chicken and veg ( potato, onion, peas and carrots) soup and used my own stock that I made from saved veg peelings. Some servings now in freezer but had some for my tea with toasted seeded sourdough. 😋 Bit of Hendo’s added before serving 😁

Looking forward to tonight’s sold out Martyn Joseph gig at The Ropewalk. Saw Martyn in Beverley back in February and we just had to go and see him again. He’s an amazing musician and songwriter.

Delish 😋
Baked a crustless cheese, spring onion and tomato quiche/frittata type thing ( healthier without pastry)
To go with it, I made some sweet potato fries with Parmesan coating 😋

Very cold, damp morning but at least that horrible ice has gone. Bodhran class soon. That’ll warm me up a bit 😁
