Monday, 26th January 2026 - A Lemon for Healing and Vitality

Our chickens are in full lay at long last. The magpie deterrent of flapping plastic across the door to the hen house works a treat. A post on instagram told me that eggs are an excellent source of nourishment - I have a bowl of soft boiled in the fridge ready to satiate any mid meal hunger pangs and keeping me fully nourished.

I met with Gay at Taywell in Goudhurst. The cafe is now Birchwood. I think they used to be in Flimwell. I asked for a cheese scone and Gay wanted a poached egg. They could provide neither. The company more than made up for our disappointment at the menu.

Back home I made a vegetable and lentil soup. You never quite know what scale of taste a new soup recipe will provide. This one was delicious.

Nigella Lawson + The Great British Bakeoff = excellent entertainment. I can't wait.

Day 26 #stradaeasel

I was stuck yet again for an idea of what to paint. I had a rummage through the fridge. This lemon looked like a good candidate. After a visit to the GP today and I read that the symbolism for lemons is for healing and vitality. Very appropriate for my tiny oil painting.
