Apple Cider Scones with Cinnamon – An Autumnal Sunday Breakfast Treat
As I was looking out of the rain splattered window early Sunday morning, my eye caught a rather large pile of apples that had fallen into our garden from a neighbour’s tree. Initially, I was tempted to ignore them, but my dislike of waste got the better of me. So, out into the pouring rain I went, in my nightdress, to forage for some of the less battered ones. Here’s what I came up with: apple cider scones made with wholemeal spelt flour and flavoured with cinnamon.

Spinach Cake with Lemon – My Super Simple Version of Le Gâteau Vert
My spinach cake with lemon is a super simple version of le gâteau vert or green cake and it tastes delicious too. I was inspired after seeing this week’s episode of Great British Bake Off.

I’ve filled it with lemon ricotta and topped it with pistachios.

Caprese Salad Bowl with Tomato, Mozzarella & Avocado for One
As I mostly work from home, I often eat lunch alone. Mostly I have an omelette or something on toast, but occasionally it’s nice to make a bit more of an effort. Not that this Caprese salad bowl with avocado and lettuce is much of an effort. Juicy ripe homegrown tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, avocado, crisp lettuce and some peppery olive oil is pretty much all this salad is, but oh my, it sure has a wow factor and it’s perfect for a light summer lunch or side dish.

A bottle of Rock Rose summer edition gin, two packs of Doisy & Dam’s new chocolate snaps and a couple of jars of Pip & Nut’s special edition chocolate orange almond butter.
Spelt Scones with Health Giving Kefir, Matcha Green Tea & Honey
I was innocently having a quick catch-up on Facebook before getting down to the more serious business of writing up a recipe, when I noticed a scone post from Johanna, at Green Gourmet Giraffe. She alerted me to the fact it was International Scone Week. Well really, I couldn’t let another year go by without marking the occasion. The post I was going to write has now been put on hold so that I can get the the recipe for spelt scones with health giving kefir, matcha green tea & honey published before it’s too late. As the old saying goes: here today, scone tomorrow.
Tin & Thyme on Tumblr
So much magnificent autumn colour this year. Despite being mega busy, we managed a walk in the Forest yesterday. The dappled light and warmth from the sun made it a perfect autumnal day.
Our breakfast stop to break our journey is the main motivation for heading off before dawn.
Harebells spotted in the Forest last weekend. It’s been such a balmy autumn so far, there’s still plenty of flowers to see.
