A Winter's Day

It was very bleak, but thankfully not raining, when I went to the supermarket this morning. 

My treat for today was this very decadent cream do-nut.

It was surprisingly filling, so lunch was a single small sandwich of beetroot and cheese, followed by a mandarin. 

The sun broke through the clouds early afternoon.


The dark clouds stayed around, but I've been able to enjoy having some winter sunshine in my room. 

I think Mittens enjoyed it too.

Have a great day!

  1. I have never thought of including beets in a sandwich but why not? Especially pickled beets. That would be tasty. My Mom made amazing pickled beets and I've found a way to make them as well.

  3. A little bit of sunshine, a tasty sandwich, the most delectable cream donut and Mittens for company. Perfect. Thank goodness we can't get those cream donuts here. I can feel it in my mouth right now. Lol

  4. Looks like a wonderful day, despite the bleak start - we didn't have fog, and I did surprise myself and spend a fruitful half hour or so in the garden this afternoon - moving compost!!
    I ended up treating myself to a blueberry muffin for lunch - nice for a change, but not to be recommended as daily fare :)

  7. Beetroot and cheese sandwich - my absolute favorite. I have been eating them for breakfast lately - beetroot is meant to be good for lowering blood pressure. (Mine is on the edge of high and I don't want medical professionals constantly nagging me about it.)

  8. Beet and cheese would be an unusual combination here. I bet it’s delicious!

  9. Oh today's treat looks so good! A simple lunch is perfect for a winter's day...a day to settle in with a good book or movie. I always love the shadows when the seasons change. It seems like fall here has the prettiest evening shadows as the tilt of the earth changes...ideal for a snoozing cat (and me, too!)

  10. It's been a while since I've enjoyed a donut. Have you tried cronuts? I think it is a mixture of a donut and cream bun.

  11. Hi Margaret, I'm so glad that you and Mittens managed to get some sun to enjoy in your house. It certainly lifts the mood, together with a delicious cream doughnut! Here's hoping that the weather will improve soon. Hugs, Rose x
