1) This is how I now make toast… in a wire toaster on the Aga (a traditional cast iron oven that’s always on).
and related – 2) I am eating like a hobbit complete with this toast for ‘elevenses’. Perils of getting up at 6 am!
3) The only kind of cider on the go around here is most definitely alcoholic. In the UK cider is always boozy – I was a bit confused when I first arrived in the US and though Starbucks was selling alcoholic beverages alongside the coffee
.
4) I am mostly wearing these as my footwear out and about…
5) Starbucks has been replaced by DIY lattes at home…
6) And I get to snuggle with this puppy…
and this one… His life is tough, clearly, in case you couldn’t tell by his facial expression.

I’m ready to move to the countryside after seeing your post! Homemade latte’s and that precious pup? Yes please!
Haha the bottom one (aka the pampered one in the blanket) might be on offer after he jumped onto my knee for a cuddle and basically burped in my face. Charming, right?
omg i want that toast. looks so yummy!
