The mumblings of a crafty smallholder on Dartmoor, Devon

Wednesday 17 October 2012

The rain came down (and the floods came up)

The title of today is a particular favourite song of mine! Unfortunately it would appear that this evening it is tipping it down! Not quite raining cats and dogs; but close! perhaps kittens and puppies? There are Met Office Warnings for some areas of Devon & Cornwall-I do hope everyone stays safe.
Mr Crow made corned beef hash for our evening meal-It really is a warming dish for an autumnal day. Even Daughter Peg enjoyed it! There are big discussions in the house about which colour paint to use to compliment the chosen blue (Which neither Mr Crow nor I can remember the name of!) This job desperately needs doing, there are big circles of different testers both there and in the hallway! A job for the weekend, perhaps...
Daughter Peg is pleased that she played her piano accordion for the first time in the school band practice! She had written the notes on the music herself! She has only been learning it for a short while. It compliments the piano which she took up about 6 months ago. We really are very proud of her.
Right, no rest for the wicked. Work awaits, bye for now x

  1. Well done Peg and thanks for reminding me about Corned beef hash. Did you have it with Ketchup? That's the only time I was allowed it as a child! x

  2. Hey Em,
    No ketchup! Mr C made it with sliced spuds, I used to have it with mash on top, You?
    The only thing that would've completed the meal was Angel delight!
    See you soon, J x
