Morning sunshine is now much paler, and much less

Morning sunshine is now much paler, and much less intense, in the bedroom. The angle of the low sun doesn’t really reach the windows, so we don’t waken up in the early hours, squinting and readjusting our eyes to the brightness. We sleep much later in the winter - a combination of the different light & the super cosiness of the bed and bedding. The main bedroom always seems a vibrant room in the summer - golds and greens and blues, against a backdrop of white, much deeper in colour. But in the winter, I think it’s just as beautiful - much paler, less intense. A bit like the season. I’ll miss this room when we eventually leave - but plans are already forming for a very different kind of room, in a very different place.

These were the chunkiest, most tender, most juicy, most meaty #medallions of #monkfish. There were six in total, served with a substantial salad & crispy potatoes. In a restaurant on the harbour front of #velilosinj on #losinj island. Throwback to a perfect summer’s evening.

Planning the #gardenwall to the front of the house

Planning the #gardenwall to the front of the house. We want a sense of privacy and a solid demarcation of our boundaries, without obscuring our views, and these bricks are just perfect. If we can source them, that’s a #winterproject, right there…

All the faux, this afternoon. Bright & sunny outside - but chilly! Warm and cosy inside, with a glowing #woodburner, furry throw, cushions and slippers. If winter’s around the corner, we’re ready for it.

The iconic domes of the beautiful Opera House, in #Buxton, #Derbyshire. A very grand building, and recently renovated to its former glory.

The real-deal of #vintage #cheddar. From @lidl_hrv

The real-deal of #vintage #cheddar. From @lidl_hrvatska but wow, it’s such a good #cheese. Very strong - the kind of cheese that makes you suck your cheeks in. And so much better than any other #cheddar we can get - because you always need a good, staple cheddar. Being used tonight to top the mashed potato on a veggie shepherd’s pie 😋

A memorable #tapas meal in #Alghero, in a restaura

A memorable #tapas meal in #Alghero, in a restaurant which was next to where we parked the car. A bit out of town, and certainly not surrounded by fine dining options. The tapas place looked pretty nondescript but we needed something to eat before heading to the airport.

Turned out to be one of those stand-out meals! Tuna steak, buffala mozzarella, patatas bravas with roquefort, cod, the juiciest tomatoes and the best Sardinian wine & bread. A place we will definitely seek out again.

A wild & moody afternoon at Robin Hood’s Bay on

A wild & moody afternoon at Robin Hood’s Bay on the North Sea coast. Just south of #Whitby, it’s a beautiful village, with a steep, cobble stoned hill, leading down to the sea. Full of higgledy-piggledy houses, it’s an atmospheric place, full of tales of the high seas and smuggling. A very iconic place to visit in #England - and definitely much better in the winter, out of season.
