I had my CWA excursion to Como House on Saturday afternoon, and Justin had wanted to go to Inglewood, just to relax, (but didn't really want to go by himself) - so we went together after Como House
I should also add that Como House had some features that we also have in Inglewood - ie a red/yellow/blue window. People always comment - and think that they must not be original - ie the Victorians wouldn't have glass like that - but I reckon they did!
And also a pullinger stove - with the same cast iron surround
Lastly, a similar - but fancier Grandfather clock
Got there early evening, and it felt freezing in the house - put the heaters on, and some dinner up in the bee room
Sunday, and a nice sleep in
Justin played a bit of music
I unpicked the edging off some fancy cord that I'd bought from Lincraft - Justin wanted "fancy cord" to hang the tapestries
I thought we'd christen the Aga, and so invited Terry around for dinner
I bought a rolled boned pork, and made some roast potatoes, and 3 x little apple crumbles with custard - and also made some apple sauce in the thermomix.
We had some easy starters in the dining room - olives, soya crisps, cashews and shapes - with a glass of bubbles.
I was so impressed by the pork - good crackle, and the meat was so moist and tender. The potatoes less good, I'd put them on the bottom of the roasting oven - and left them there a bit long - so they got a bit too dark on one side
Pity I didn't get a photo of the pork....
Monday, and Justin worked "from home" - in the bee room
I pottered around - and at lunch time Justin and I marked where we wanted the powerpoints in the new shed
I did the dishes after lunch - and "lost" a vegetable peeler in the stone gap - we really need someone to come and caulk it ....
