Home Comforts

The rain beats down relentlessly on the skylight above me in the kitchen and I'm grateful to not have to leave the house today.  We have continued to enjoy the fruits of our apple picking fun.  There has been a whole lot of this:

We are onto our final tray of apples now...

There has been a whole lot of apple compote and multiple apple crumbles.  But I wanted to try something different so I made an Apple Charlotte, with a recipe from BBC cooking available here.  It couldn't be simpler really, an apple sauce in a toasted bread shell.  The apple sauce has juice and zest from a whole lemon which makes it lovely and zingy.

We have also been enjoying our homebaked wholemeal bread on a regular basis.

Boo, meanwhile, has made an exciting transition, to her own 'big girl bed'.  I was going to hang back a while on this one, but she became a little too eager to fling herself out of her cot, so we made the change and she is thoroughly pleased with it.

Apart from climbing on and off her bed and rolling around on it, her other favourite pastime right now seems to be putting on various items of clothes in an 'unusual manner'.

Rainy days ain't so bad are they?
