Energy

As I walked in the late afternoon sunshine with Merlin, I noticed these seed heads of thistles and wild carrot laying down across the grasses. I thought they looked like a natural tapestry.

My main aim for the day was to make raw bars using dates, nuts and cocoa powder (along with honey and coconut oil). I wasn’t sure how they would turn out as I don’t have a food processor. Instead I chopped the dates and nuts and then put them in a blender. Then I added the other ingredients and moulded the bars by hand. They taste good so I’ll probably make them again. For the meantime I have a stash in the cupboard and in the freezer. Hopefully they will help me recover some energy!
