Pollination, purée & pensées

Thursday 7th June

We decided to head to a private lake not far from us this afternoon, for a walk..  the heat was hot & prickly, felt like a storm may be brewing...  Elina was super excited and stopped every 2 seconds to pick up a stone "caillou", and throw it back down on the floor, or in the water...  Cumba was being her usual mental self running and swimming for the ball...   As I stood watching the 2 of them it started snowing dandelion seeds...

I made chick pea purée which we ate on toast this evening Yum yum :)  This time I didn't put in too much garlic and added a bit of liquid cream along with the olive oil & lemon...   I love it when I copy a recipe and then change it and adapt it to my own tastes and style -  Especially when it works ^_^

There is nothing cowardly about saying "no, stop this is not the road I want to be taking", it doesn't mean you've given up...  Sometimes if something isn't working as you want it to be it's better to walk away than to just keep going for the sake of it...  As long as you've given it your best shot, there's no need to feel ashamed...  I had realised this a while back, and today it seems that 2 people very dear to me had  been mulling over the exact same thing & have been strong enough to make the decision & the change they needed ....   It's good to feel on the same wave length....
