My previous musings
So recently I have a rather unexpected and very welcome date. Freddy took the day off work and since the kids were at school, I had no major deadlines and the sun and was out, we decided to have an indulgent ‘us’ day.
So we went for a rather long walk like we used to pre-kids. The walk that took us through fields full of oilseed rape and barley, through meadows full of sheep with their not so newborn lambs that I was convinced looked at me a bit funny, via woods completely carpeted by bluebells (they are purple not blue).
We continued along woods completely covered in wild garlic, thought the kissing gate (the one Freddy always opens for me with a kiss), along hedges lined with stunning stag head oaks and all the way back home.
I missed those walks and being able to enjoy the stunning countryside just because.
When we finally stumbled back in, I wanted to cook us a quick easy meal – so out came the mushrooms, spring onions, asparagus, orange juice, stock, cheese and cream…
………..and about 20 mins later lunch aka a creamy asparagus mushroom pasta recipe was done. So, so good.
