We had a pretty sunset last night. I sat outside on the deck (again!) and
watched as the clouds changed through the oranges and red colours and finally
became dark (the colours were more intense than what has shown up in my photo).
Mittens sat in the grass garden and watched me.

Breakfast this morning was taken on the deck at 7am, with
the sun peeping above the neighbour’s roof and the temperature sitting at a
very pleasant 17 degrees Celsius.
Today I had rolled oats (straight from the packet) with chia seeds, a fresh plum
(it was meant to be two, but one had gone rotten), milky yoghurt, a drizzle of
maple syrup, and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
My tea was Lady Grey, with no milk or sugar.
Most mornings I have a chewable vitamin C tablet, as it
seems to work well with my constitution.
The other object on the tray contains the last remnants of
my latest block of comb honey. It is an
expensive treat (this one cost me $28), so I have only been having 1 teaspoon
of it each morning. Delicious!
I hope your day will be a happy one 😊
Margaret.
Comb honey...Yum! Lovely to sit outside with your breakfast and watch the day begin. I'm an early bird too; usually awake by 6 or 6:30 then by 9 PM I'm rapidly fading out. More so when it's dark and cold out. I'm so looking forward to longer days and warm sunshine.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am definitely a morning person. I also fade out around 9pm, when some are just getting going :)
DeleteI've never heard of Lady Grey tea, maybe that's one to check out. Have you heard of Yorkshire Tea? The Nw here sells it, it is good for those who like a strong cuppa.
ReplyDeleteYes, I tried it once when I was searching for a leaf tea to drink - but I am a weak tea person! Lady Grey is a Twinings tea and I use the teabag to make it. It is a bit milder than the popular Earl Grey tea.
DeleteWhat a lovely way to start the day, Margaret. I too like to keep up my Vit C... in many ways my breakfast is similar to your with home made muesli (compliments of my daughter) and yoghurt and a juice drink. I am also a weak tea drinker - I call it Passover tea - pass the tea bag over the hot water :)

What a lovely start to your day. Morning lark here as well, usually up by 6 a.m. and loving the quiet in the house.
ReplyDeleteComb honey? I can never work out how people enjoy that wax on their teeth effect. The rest of breakfast sounds perfect and Mittens is looking very artistic today.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the sticky wax, but, yes, you sort of have to pick it off your teeth until it dissolves away LOL. It is meant to be very good for the immune system though!
DeleteHoneycomb sounds delicious, I have not had it for years!
ReplyDeleteIt might go well with a mug of beer??
DeleteOh for those warm summer mornings and evenings. I prefer winter but we are literally freezing today.
ReplyDeleteWe get wonderful local honey from a local bee keeper. Really good pure honey. We go through about a kilo a month. Here it's much cheaper. Don't think I've ever tried it on the comb though. I shall buy some
Sounds delicious, to have such a wonderful supply of honey :)
DeleteBreakfast outside sounds wonderful! Not so here.
ReplyDeleteHappy times! Can´t wait for the heat and sit outside again, also!
