Saffron

We’d bought some financiers - choco au safran - at the marché de Noël earlier this week, and have been enjoying them with morning coffee. They really are full of saffron flavour, quite savoury, which I like as they are not too sweet.

This afternoon Brian managed to capture a flock of starlings resting in the trees at the back of our house. I know some may find starlings quite noisy, but I love the fact that we have so much wildlife around us, it’s great to see.

When these got spooked by something, they all just took off together. It looks like all the leaves suddenly flying away, such a wonderful sight.
