Shedding a layer, skylarks and herbs.

-
1. Walking to work and wishing that I hadn't bothered to put on a jacket.

2. Hearing skylarks singing above the office.

3. Cooking with sage from the pot on my balcony.

    I love the positivity of your blog. Here's mine for today.
    1. Listening to the new-born lambs outside my window. 2. Watching little goldfinches pecking away at my husband's bird-feeders. 3. Drinking a mug of cool, fresh water from my kitchen tap.

    Ooooo skylarks! We saw some on Sheppey on Monday. And a big marsh harrier, too.

    I had to just sit very still and try not to look too mouse-coloured.

    In fact here are mine....

    1)seeing a blue-tit in the garden collecting feathers and twigs for a nest
    2)looking at Mummy's old books at Granny's house from when she was a child- it was cute to see her handwriting inside the front covers.
    3)Mummy making me a sun hat out of a small hankie, so that I wouldn't melt my beads whilst sitting at the front of the car on the dashboard.

    Hey Clare,

    Just wanted to tell you that I came across "The Teacher." This is what you are doing and so many others who are inspired by you to create their own 3BTs. Take a peek at my blog, Literally Blindsided and read the latest post "A Powerful Lesson." :)

    Hey! Thanks for posting that interview, it's really neat...I hope you're able to do what you want to do with 3BT in the future and share it with a wider audience.

    Now, look at all the people you are affecting!

    4. Feeling the warm sun on your face as you walk to work, enjoying the singing of the birds (whatever they are)

Bee, green beans and movie night.

1. An enormous fat bumble bee at work. She is so bulky that she can knock dead blossoms out of the way as she gets right in to the new jasmine flowers. 2. Green beans squeaking in my teeth. 3. We watch The Goonies . It's fun to see it through adult eyes; and it's fun to see my daughter suddenly understanding gags and references that she's seen in other media.

Midsummer, feeding and cakes.

1. The shortest night and the longest day. I was up at Wellington Rocks with Anna, Paul and Jason. We couldn't see the sun through the mizzling clouds, but we had got up at 4am and were there observing the moment it came up, and that's what counts. 2. Food at The Junction Inn , Groombridge. All four lunchclub members were impressed by the quality -- although the portions were rather small. I had smoked eel with beetroot cream (Oli says that sounds like witch food, but it was delicious, and didn't taste of beetroot at all); Ed and Doug had wild mushroom risotto; and Johnny P got his face round a huge homemade burger. It had chips with it that were very good too -- I know this because I stole some. 3. Taking The Mother's homemade cakes to work. There were three -- one chocolate, one coffee and walnut and one lemon with homemade jam in the middle. There was a lot of stickiness in the office for most of the afternoon.

As needed, forgotten cake and syrup.

-
1. I promised myself I wouldn't moan and grumble about it -- but I do. And as if by magic, a very kind friend produces the required blazer (and also the next size up). 2. I'd forgotten that I'd added a tiramisu cake to the shopping order. 3. The elderberry syrup is now so thick that it coats the spoon.
