New Year's Day

I didn't join in the revelries of New Year's Eve as I was in bed by my usual time of 9.30pm 🤣
However, I had the most fabulous start to the New Year by getting up early and walking to Saskia's house (approx 20 mins). Then we all drove down the gravel road near their estate to the stunning Platbank Beach, one of the five beaches here in Sedgefield. We had a fabulous walk and I even dipped my toes in the waters of the Indian Ocean. Afterwards we went back to Saskia's house where Terry cooked us a lovely tasty breakfast. He's a vegetarian so no bacon on the menu here. But we had onions which had been cooked down for a long time flavoured with cumin seeds, mushrooms, cooked tomatoes, fried slices of potato with a topping of cheese and fried banana. As Terry doesn't eat eggs Saskia fried some perfect eggs for us to accompany this super brekkie.
After this feast Saskia and I enjoyed a couple of games of Rummikub and the morning was finished off with a mug of Terry's lovely freshly made coffee and a tasty slice of Saskia's homemade Xmas cake and fruity mince pie. Perfect 😃Read more
