Morning time!

I'm one of those evil people who enjoy the fresh, bright and shiny morning. In saying this though, I slept in this morning until about 8. After a week of 5.30 starts it was welcomed though. As a plus when I did finally make it out to the back (easterly facing) room, after a couple of days of stormy, cloudy, drizzly weather we were treated to a gorgeous morning and the first light was proper sparkling through the windows, bouncing off the freshly painted walls. If you can't appreciate times like these every now and then I can see how some people would become lost and indifferent. 

I feel breakfast is the most important part of the day. If you ever meet me on a day I missed it, you can tell. This post is basically to show off how wonderful breakfast can be at this time of year. Above is a snapshot of my breakfast sitting on the back table just as the brilliant light was beginning to succumb to the clouds again. It is stove cooked porridge with home picked and dehydrated apple, local strawberries, almost as good as the German ones, coconut, a bit of brown sugar, yogurt and cranberries, for their great properties, even though I'm not a huge fan. I also cooked a bit too much porridge so the girls can have a bit of brekkie too :)

Looks like more rain today, yay! As its still a good temperature I can continue painting the back room too, if it clears I can get into the fencing for the horses. It's not urgent but might as well make use of the weather and get some jobs done! Hope you're having a wonderful day or night, and if not remember tomorrow's another day.
