What is blue ?





Blue is the sky.

It is your eyes.

Blue is a pencil.

It is a pencil pot.

Blue is a top.

It is a ball.

Blue is a river.

It is a drink.

Rustic Wholemeal Scones

I am very much of the moment type of person I get an idea in my head and just go with it , sometimes I have to hold myself back and plan more. Do you ever struggle and just want to rush out and do things ? , being Impetious can work. I think baking ,then going out and eat ing what I bake is beneficial to me not only am I learning and expanding on a new skill but I am also combining a love of the photography and the countryside.

Ingredients

To make 8 large scones you will need:

• 175 wholemeal flour
• 175 plain flour
• 2oz (50g) butter
• 4oz (112g) brown sugar ( optional )
•   optional grated apple or sultanas
•    2 heaped teaspoons baking powder
•    200ml of Buttermilk or milk 
• I free range egg

Method

This is what you'll need to do:

First pre-heat your oven to 200°C 

1. Grease a baking tray
2. Melt the butter
3. Sieve together the flour, sugar (optional )and baking powder into a bowl
4. Make a space in the centre of the mixture and pour in the melted butter , also at this stage at the egg ( already beaten)
5. Mix together with a flat palate knife or  your hands if you wish ( just be careful not to touch anything )
6. Add in the sultanas or apple at the stage if you wish
7. Add the buttermilk or milk  adding a little at a time, this will make the scone mixture hold together without crumbling (not too much or the mixture will become very sticky)
8. Either form into a round and shape each scone or just dollop on for a more rustic look.
9. Place in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top ( keep at eye on them )
10. Enjoy eating yummy warm scones with jam and cream ( Field is optional , this is my field *well I don't own it but I call it mine )

Make a offering to the weather gods !

The Wonder Of Structure

I know, I have missed weeks of 356 , I can feel the voodoo pains as  I  am coerced into action , this week has seen me go to London to an event and then to the British museum . I am home in the museum not just because of my age but it is where I feel most relaxed , I see the objects , I feel the object I connect with the object. The British museum roof is a structure of beauty and it gets my architectural  toes all tingly and I could just stare at it for hours indeed when I was there the guard was regularly herding folk on as they were a tripping hazard.

The weekend saying me popping to the village and seeing the under 12 game  when it comes to football I can get all little glazed over so instead my eye wonders to the structure of nature.

As I gazed over the meadow I really wanted to skip through it ( I had had my antihistamine so pollen was not a problem today ) I know what you are thinking if you are of a certain age you think the little girl firm the Prairie is going to run down.

Lastly we cracked onto the local farm shop and it had this view of rolling hills and clouds that kissed the treetops a totally unstructured day ...

C is For Calculating

C is for calculating .

C is for calculating everywhere I go.

C is for calculating to cope.

Whenever I go anywhere I have to calculate everything to minimise panicking and to maximise my day.

Take last Tuesday for example I had to calculate how I was getting to an event , luckily I was met by some very kind bloggers.

The first picture is of Senate House which was taken on my way to the British Museum. I was calculating what I would do when I got there before I saw the #8mummies

The second picture was taken going round the museum , calculating how much I could see before going into the #8mummies as I had a time ticket.

My cat the evil puss , taken because I try and work out what he is calculating , just how is going to out calculate who ?
