Tip, tea and toast

It was a beautiful sunny morning this morning, and I thought what better way to start the day than with some delicious, light banana drop scones covered with a sprinkling of sugar and a few squeezes of a fresh juicy lemon. Scrumptious.

Lemons came into season in December, and they are currently abundant at the market and in the shops. I’m thinking it would be nice to make some lemon marmalade.

As the sun was out, we decided it was a good day to have a tidy up outside and have a trip to the déchetterie (tip). Brian reminded me that the trailer was still full. We hadn’t taken it last time we went as it had been dark and one of the break lights was not working. He said “I’ll fix it before we go”. “Have you got a bulb?” I enquired. “Must have somewhere, we’ve got a couple of bulb kits we kept in the car. Something must work.”

We were soon all loaded up and ready to go. There’s a really good feeling once you’ve been to the tip and sorted your rubbish into the recycling bins. And I love the ease in which it all happens. Home now for a nice cup of tea, and I’m thinking a slice of toast and honey.
