And a free range hen just rubbed in rape seed oil and seasoned then roast so it is golden brown and crispy skin
Served with boiled baby spuds and peas and sweetcorn with proper gravy to be mopped up with fresh well buttered bread
The chatelaine has had the crusts so we only get the bread!

It doesn’t look very pleasant, certainly, but we’ve had a lot worse (I hope). Storm force 10 predicted for tomorrow, sea state high.
I’ve just seen the new cellar. Pity in some ways, it could have been a good idea to cower until this storm has passed.

We are 110m above msl so the sea is not so much of a worry
We do get electric shortages with storms as we are near a power station and substation
Still our generator is working and we have fuel
And I have a well stocked fridge and all sorts of stuff in the freezer and larder
Remote living means that you have to be able to get by on what you have

I expect it needs a good polishing after 9 months of heavy use but why do we have to polish it? Don’t we have staff for that kind of thing?
