Snow and Crumpets
Siegfried commented recently on my blog that we Brits are a bit too obsessive about the weather.
And yes, I suppose we are - but then we have a lot of weather to be obsessive about. Look at this photo, taken in our garden in Leeds today. There must be nearly two dozen flakes of snow on that ivy. Any more and all the trains will stop.
Even Florida is having a cold snap and you can read about it on Silverback's blog. But there's one thing we know how to do in Britain as soon as the weather turns nasty - which, let's face it, is much of the time - and that is comfort food.
This photo's entirely in homage to Siegfried, whose enticing picture of crumpets on his blog on December 31st made me rush out and buy some. His photo's classier: mine is a bit more point-and-click.
But if you've never eaten crumpets, this is the weather in which to start.

Mmmmmmmm crumpets! A&R stayed over on NYE and between them ate 4 on NY Day. I need to buy some more methinks.
I'm of out to buy some, NOW1
You vile temptress.
And the tiny unmelted knob of butter just about to slither seductively into it's crumpetty foxhole is just too much.
Next you'll be posting photos of fish and chips and if so, I'm afraid my oft repeated threat of sending over 'a couple of big lads with pizza sounding names' may have to come to pass.
You have been warned. Capiche ?
