Botanics

There is that point in January when all I want to do is make black bean chilli. I eat this throughout the year, but the January making of a batch is as momentous as making marmalade in January. It signifies the need for restraint, to Stop the over indulgences. I always welcome it but let my body decide when the right time is. And today is that day.

A walk through the Botanics and still so much to see, including a flash of a Kingfisher! I am so thrilled, I've never seen one before.

Home to another 2 drawers visited by Marie, soon I will own nothing. I love it!

Excitement at the end of excess. A Kingfisher and warming soup.
