Cold Winter Days

 Baby it's cold outside.

7oC and an icy wind.

We went out for the first time this week to go shopping and have a coffee in a warm café.

K was getting cabin fever. He needed urgently to see a few  different faces and exchange some frivolous banter.

Not me but I did need some frivolous shopping 

It certainly made for a cheap week. We should stay at home more often.

Meanwhile, back at the homestead-s


Junior was cuddled up on the couch next to Elli and Luli



And Rusty was curled up on his couch next to Danae's wood stove

Back at our homestead there was baking going on

Yesterday it was apple pies
Today it was meat pies
And tomorrow it will be spanakopita (spinach and feta cheese pie).
I made the the apple and meat pies myself and cooked them on the wood stove.
Enough. Tomorrow's pie was  made and flash frozen by Mr Kanaki.
It will enjoyed by another Mr K while watching his favourite football team . With a few glasses of wine.  The more goals, the more wine!



Checking on those pies


Piles of wood all over the place.

    1. I can't resist anything wrapped up in pastry. Darn it. I wish it would warm up a bit so I'm not inside all the time

  4. It was a miserable day here too yesterday, but made better by England beating France at Rugby, by 1 point. No pies here but a very nice Coq au Vin.

  5. The temperatures are similar here too, and rain, for me it's very cold.
