I took our car for an MOT diverted by many irritating road closures, traffic lights and pot holes. Jon at Wealden Garage near Headcorn keeps our cars on the road. We only have one car in action at the moment so while it was being inspected I walked into Headcorn. The weather forecast when I left was dry. I was unprepared for rain. Half an hour of dodging cars and puddles I was rather soggy as I ordered a very much desired flat white. The car passed its MOT with a couple of advisories due to old age.
It is the season for marmalade. I have 2 kg of seville oranges scrubbed, squeezed, pithed and shredded ready for preserving tomorrow. Love the smell. And I am partial to thick sliced buttered toast with marmalade accompanied by coffee. Such a treat.
Day 12 #stradaeasel
On my way back from Headcorn I went via Chittenden Farm to get fruit and vegetables. They are the best and freshest. I have sprouts and parsnips. I looked at the beautiful artichokes but don't know what to do with them so left them in their basket. We have a fruit bowl full of apples and pears. An apple called September Wonder was my model today for a tiny 2 inch square oil painting.
