Cloudy Thursday

So, as you can see from my last post (which looks like it was this morning but actually wasn't because of having to switch to new blog....... read below ...... ugh) I've had to create this one to avoid some 'problems'. Like the new colours, dislike the fact that photos aren't currently loading (blogger problem, not mine....)

Anyhoo - today, and all of August, my supervisor (Anne) is in one of my favourite places. Cornwall, England. For anyone who gets the chance to visit the native-land I would highly suggest train-ing it down to Cornwall. The bluffs, the greenery, the English Tea and let's not forget the Clotted Cream! I was trying to explain Clotted Cream to Anne before she left. It is the richest most artery-blocking thing you can imagine. And yet it's divine. If you stick a spoon in it you can turn the carton upside down - spoon will be fully intact. It is THAT THICK! So you more scrape it out than spoon out. But on a scone with fresh homemade jam it can't be beat. And Cornwall has spots where you can forget that big cities exist. If you've only been to London you've missed it - the retreating feeling you can get by a long walk along the ocean, popping into antique shops where the proprietors know all of the locals..... anyways, dreaming away here. Childhood memories flooding back......

Thought to leave you with - Brooklyn's chat with my Mum about what are/are not nutritional foods. Grandma: "Cheese?" Brooklyn: "Yes, healthy - both cheese and milk have calcium." Grandma: "Blueberries?" Brooklyn: (and this one killed my Mum!) "Yes, VERY healthy - blueberries have antioxidants". !!!!! Smart cookie for 5 yrs...... then Brooklyn again after they discussed broccoli, spinach and brussel sprouts: " In fact Grandma, all green foods are healthy for you.... ummm....... except for Green Smarties"

So there you go - make sure you get your milk and blueberries but watch out for the chocolate stuff. Good rules to live by .....
