Nuts!

After the gales this grey squirrel was digging about under the beech tree, hoping to find some beech nuts that had blown down.
Saw me through the window with the camera and quickly shot up the tree. ( see extra)

After a dull morning the sun has just appeared. 3 pm.
Glad to say the wind has dropped.

We have friends coming for a meal tomorrow. It was going to be a barbecue but because of the weather forecast have decided against it. So plan B. is going to be Slow cooked Mediterranean leg of lamb.
( lamb from a local farm)
I am now preparing the dessert.
Norfolk Lemon Posset with almond macaroons and fresh raspberries.
The macaroons have turned out OK. Hope the Posset does too. Not made it before.
The lamb is also a new recipe although I have had it in my recipe folder for a few years.
Luckily our friends don’t mind me trying out new recipes on them.
