Tree planting

Blasdale Home Posted on February 2, 2003 by SteveAugust 8, 2017

After a few days of cold and chaos on the roads caused by two inches of snow, the weather improved and the weekend was fine

Managed to plant the poplars replacing those that died from last year, and also creating a cluster in the field corner. The Holly and the firs went in between the graveyard and garden.

Snowing at last

Blasdale Home Posted on January 30, 2003 by SteveAugust 8, 2017

Some real snow last night, all of three inches.  By the time I had driven into Aylesbury there was none.  We must have caught the edge of the snow because the M40 was closed going North.

Burns Night

Blasdale Home Posted on January 23, 2003 by SteveAugust 8, 2017

Well not quite Burns Night, but for the Plough and Anchor, it was Burns Night.

Excellant meal was hosted by Paul Ring of the Plough and Anchor.  The menu was Scottish, but was not all Haggis, Neaps and Tatties.  We though did all get the chance for some Haggis even if we had not ordered it for the main course.

Next day was rather quite for me, rather too much Lagavulin the night before.

Day off work

Blasdale Home Posted on January 23, 2003 by SteveAugust 8, 2017

Been a lovely day today.  Sun shone all day, and even though the wind was blowing from the North East it was not that cold.

Had been invited to partcipate in some paragliding, but alas the guys were here to fix the hot tub which sprung a leak at the weekend.  Instead waited for them, had a pint at the pub, downloaded some clip art of Scots men for the pub menu (Burns night) and had a big fire burning up all the rubbish wood from the grave yard, and cleared up some of the rubbish around the garden pond.

I could be a house husband anyday!

Petit Blanc

Blasdale Home Posted on January 10, 2003 by SteveNovember 12, 2020

Went to Oxford to have lunch at Raymond Blanc’c, Petit Blanc Brasserie.  We elected for the fixed price menu and had a very reasonable meal.  The service was very attentive.

Snowing

Blasdale Home Posted on January 8, 2003 by SteveAugust 8, 2017

After the warm weather and the floods, the cold arrived for the weekend.  Now at last it has started to snow, although by the end of the day 3 mm is not a great deal.

Lovely to sit in the hot tub in the dark with your head freezing cold!

The weather

Blasdale Home Posted on January 2, 2003 by SteveAugust 8, 2017

It rained alot today. Raining onto already sodden land. Poor Rosemary had difficulty getting home, The roads across country from the Motor Way to home were closed, or if not closed, were flooded with several feet of water. She did make it back in the end.

Blasdale Home Posted on December 28, 2002 by SteveAugust 8, 2017

Today David and Joan Atkinson, came over for lunch bringing with them Winnie.  The day was dry and sunny.  We had pitta bread and humus for starter and then for mains the Garry Rhodes two salmons. 

The two salmons recipe is one piece of fried, fresh fried salmon fillet, and another piece of steamed, cold smoked salmon fillet served on a bed of mash potato and leak.  All served with a butter sauce.  Very good.

Afters was another Garry recipe of Cranberry Jelly.

They stayed for tea and left leaving Winnie for us to take back to her house on Sunday.
