Friday; Wild Rose;


Photo from my garden

Perfumed Darling
of cloudy winter days, blue spring skies and summer rains
 velvety petals
sweet and pretty
my wild rose.

1tblsp sunflower seed
1tblsp pepitas (green pumpkin seed 
1/2 a handful shelled walnuts
2 teasp sea salt
2 teasp granulated yeast
1teasp bread improver (makes the bread soft and a beautiful crust, but not to hard)
ca 350ml tepid water  (perhaps a bit more depending on the flour.

form breads and bake on low shelf  220C  for 2 small breads ca. 35 minutes.

Tuesday; Garden boo-boos;


Innocent looking with tiny razor sharp teeth and claws.



I know, It is my fault; I should wear my long sleeved gloves, or a long sleeved shirt;  I KNOW!



Problems are only opportunities with thorns on them.

Sepia Saturday 134; Prams;


My elder sister; 1935;  I remember  this  park, as a child I went for walks there with my mother; she seemed to like this place, as we always went there.  



This is also my sister, there are many photos of her like this but not in the pram.  Not many of myself as in the war  years my mother did not have films for her camera. After the war there were many photos again.Alas I was  6 years old and not in a pram anymore!
