I love saturdays

Hurray for Saturdays, an extra hour in bed, reading Von Goethe, birds singing and at this time of year the promise of spring and impending warmer days and time to watch a squirrel steal nuts off a woodpigeon twice his size and then hide them in a hundred different places.

As we're both fighting off bad colds that threaten to turn into chest infections, we indulged in some afternoon television viewing and watched Little Women. I love the 1994 adaptation with Winona Ryder, Kirsten Dunst, Claire Danes and Susan Sarendon directed by Gillian Armstrong. Love the costumes, love the house, the snow, the garden in summer........and isn't Mrs March just the perfect mum? Oh and I miss my three sisters too........

Then we enjoyed our current favourite quick supper dish that is a mix of East meets West. Which just about sums up 'A' and me too.....
