speed

Got to dash - train to catch - so ironically thought I'd share this, from a fab friend this week:

Love it - all about slowing down and marvelling at the mundane.
I was v kindly given some damsons last weekend and despite 2 people telling me the stones would rise to the surface when I simmered them, both times I did the stewing it, didn't work. In the end I got my fingers in to de-stone them - messy but effective. And I concluded I'm from a generation who expect their food to be convenient, dealt with before we get our hands on it, rather than spending hours (seriously) trying to get the insides out.

So today, I'll be looking for where I need to get my hands dirty rather than stand back and wait for it all to be done for me. And will seek out the glorious in the everyday. V grateful for all who encourage me in these things - you are brilliant!!
