Feeling full of beans and ready to go this morning. I have lots to do for our new collaboration with Chateau de Montdomaine.

Happy May Day! May Day is Labour Day – La Fête du Travail, a public holiday since 1947 and in France we give friends & loved ones Lily of the Valley.

Another day another sourdough loaf. Much happier with the result this morning. It looks lighter and rose better.The proof is in the eating of course.

Sourdough toast and honey for breakfast today, then off to the shops. I’ve taken to wearing my mask now when I go shopping (thanks Juliette).

We enjoyed a Bircher style muesli for breakfast this morning with the rhubarb compote I made yesterday. I went way overboard with the added sugar.

What better way to start the day than with some hot buttered toast and local honey from your friend’s hives (or should I say bees?).

I think we’re losing the capacity to speak. It must be the lack of contact with the outside world. What’s happening to us?

It’s a happy day today. Rosie’s birthday. I’m sorry I can’t see her in person but I know she’ll have a happy day and it will be one she won’t forget.

I’m happy to report that Maurice the mouse is still fit and well. I caught a glimpse of him late last night as he came out to munch his daily rations.

Busy day ahead. My mini-vegetables have arrived, I’m making another sourdough loaf (sorry Nigel) and I have procured a couple of masks.

There are two things that I vowed to do during this lockdown. Read more, and do some kind of exercise every day. I’ve failed miserably on both counts.

Hopped on the scales this morning. Well, hopped implies a certain enthusiasm doesn’t it? There was none of that I can assure you.
