Still Ill Part 2
Had another bad week health-wise I'm afraid, hence (another) late blog. I'm feeling much perkier today though, thankfully.
The music project is reaching the final stages now, I'm checking my latest remix as I type. I'm pretty pleased with the way it is sounding now, and can't wait to burn a few CDs and send them out. I've roughed out the cover art too, so hopefully it won't take long. I'm considering getting a new printer which is capable of printing directly to CD-Rs, as I'd like this one to look the business, but I'm not sure I can justify the expense.
The other week we paid a visit to nearby Silent Pond. We had a lovely walk up the hill there, but on arrival we were disappointed to find that Silent Pond is now actually Silent Hole In The Ground. The springs which feed it have apparently been dry for the last two years or so, and it has completely dried up.
We also went to a nearby farmers market and picked up a huge haul of goodies. My favourites were the Gran Stead's Ginger, a gorgeous non-alcoholic drink, and Pic a l'aili (a garlic-spiked picalilli) from The Garlic Farm on the Isle of Wight, from whom I also bought a wonderful plait of fresh garlic. We also got some delicious Russet apple juice from Ringden Farm. Here is our hoard in full:
Needless to say, the kids had a great time, scoffing cakes and ice cream as we walked around.
Finally, another gratuitous picture of Dusty, as I've had a number of requests!
