Tim was up and making bread before I had unwrapped myself from my duvet. A couple of hours later we headed into Tunbridge wells with the car smelling like a bakery from Tim's baked loaf. I went to M&S and felt their bedding. What I wanted wasn't in store. Bit disappointing but I did get to feel the quality of their cotton sheets. I met Tim is Asda. We left with coconut oil and a Beano. I also found some boxes to store the Christmas decorations that are littering the house in a very irritating mess. B&Q was full of half price polyanthus. We stocked up on those and headed back to the car to find a flat tyre. Dammit. After emptying the boot onto the ground - amazing how much stuff my little Nissan boot can hold including a fold up chair and painting easel. Out came the jack and spare tyre. The safety nut would not budge. After a couple of phone calls to Nick and Si explaining our predicament they suggested going to Crazy tyres. An hour later and a very entertaining time I had chatting with a mechanic, with terrible knee trouble but very white teeth, we were back on the road.
We spent the afternoon at Nick and Alli's with Si and Lesley. The parsnip soup was delicious. Tim's bread was a triumph.
Day 10 #stradaeasel
Another day that my mind couldn't decide what to paint. When we were at Nick and Alli's the view was beautiful with a sky of many colours. It would have made a lovely painting but I would have had to take a photo and that is not allowed in the Strada Easel Challenge. Another dammit. Inspiration struck as I was peeling eggs for dinner.
