weekending









The days are getting shorter but they seem much longer. It's hot and life is easier...no coats no boots...outdoor eating. It was H's birthday and for the first time we used the garden oven that we'd fashioned out of mossy stones and clay...It was all cracked and sad looking after winter.  But it came alive when the fire was lit and A made his amazing pizza's for H and her boyfriend. We drank cold beers and ate the smoky pizzas whilst A made us laugh with funny stories of his wild teen years. And we sat until the candles had all burned to nothing.

You can find A's recipe here if you'd like to try too.

...joining Amanda for weekending...

...you coming?
