I told Hubby a few days ago that my dill plants needed to be harvested. He got out one of our old favourite recipes and wow, I’m full now. Couldn’t manage another.
The recipe comes from an Australian Women’s Weekly Dinner Party book. He used a slice of purple onion instead of the shallot.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ I hope the daylight doesn’t reveal too much damage @Obelixx and that your insurers etc are helpful. Lots of taking stock and coffee ☕️ this morning I imagine 🤗 Glad it’s ‘just buildings’ affected.
Although we knew there’d been a lot of trees/branches down here in Norfolk the other weekend, our trip to the coast yesterday revealed a surprising amount of damage to woodlands and hedgerows hereabouts. Wind is scarily powerful.
Obelixx, sorry you’ve had that experience with your weather. I’m glad the chooks are ok. What a lovely idea it is to give them a better life. I haven’t heard of it being done here, but we don’t want to have any livestock to worry about nowadays.Been there and done that.
I’m too full to move after Hubby’s dinner. Lovely after taste though with the lemon and fish. 😜
Morning all/afties @Pat E Pretty hellish @Obelixx. Frightening when bits start coming off roofs. Hope the insurers don't drag their heels though. I expect there'll be lots of folk with similar problems. The butterflies have been thin on the ground this year, as the weather really hasn't favoured them at all, which is a pity. Rain hasn't quite arrived here yet, but it's the north east which is to get the worst of it up here. Just normal wet/windy stuff for us. I was looking at our news the other day, and I thought this was the most beautiful thing I'd seen in ages https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-54368314 Those dreadful young folk eh?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Well, the damage is impressive! This landed just by the annex door which is our main doggy and shopping and after gardening entrance.
This bit of barn roof and carpentry was stopped by the big bay tree. Underneath it now is the squished stone store. This beam was impaled - impressive so tempted to keep it as a feature And these are the two barns whence came all this stuff Some damage to contents too including machinery stored in OH's barn. Now we wait to see what the insurance has to say.
Other than that, bit of carpentry and slabs of corrugated roof all over the place including a huge chunk on what was the wildflower meadow this summer. No trees down, no visible damage to the house roof tho that needs checking and the hens are fine.
Stay safe everyone.

Oh! @Obelixx!!!😱 but that could have been so much worse ... thank goodness it wasn’t 🤗.
Speaking as someone who was involved in the building business at the time of the ‘87 storm here ... get your gable ends, ridges and chimneys checked before you put in your final insurance claim.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

I rather like the impaled beam too. Like a failed caber toss
