Mystery Gift

June 29, 2010

The doorbell rang yesterday. Nothing odd about that. What was odd was that when I finally stopped Ernie barking and opened the door nobody was there.

This week we went strawberry picking at Scaddows Farm, Ticknall. It was a real nostalgia trip for me as I used to go there as a kid.

For some reason the interweb can’t seem to squeeze through the wires when it rains here. To keep me company Ernie, Border Terrier, 19 months […]

Risotto Balls
