slow summer rainy day activities
britain is having the wettest summer since 1910 this year. while yyz is grilling under fierce hot sun, with what seems to be a permanent grey sky saturated with rain, it's hard to imagine getting out there in shorts and dresses and frolicking with joy (well, suppose i didnt grow up with wellies and waterproofs as daily preparation). fortunately, along with the few golden sunny days, there are plenty to do... on a day off, minnows walked east, chinley to edale. at the end of every walk, of course, PUB STOP! that was my breakfast. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/jun/13/old-nags-head-edale-derbyshire three gens of gregory boys. after chinley church concert, we played: saint-saens piano trio no 2, ravel piece in form of habanera (w cor anglais), and dvorak quintet. simple looking bread made with some 8 hours proofing, raymond blanc recipe from bbc iplayer. yum yum. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/fougassefrenchflatbr_93233 ...
