How beautiful. I wish I had such a view. Sadly, living in London means that my kitchen doesn't even have a window! (Actually, that makes my kitchen sound rather grim - it does get plenty of light from skylights). I'm sure I would feel inspired by such a view.
How exquisitely lovely, Joanna! I am so sick of my view of fire engines, yellow cabs, and other people's offices/ living rooms. We're heading to the country for a bit this week to recharge, but I can't wait for the day I can see something from my home like that beautiful mist again.
Makes me excited for Winter. All that tramping about in the fields, then home for hot chocolate and toasted crumpets or whatever sweet treats we can find.
We live in the countryside near Henley on Thames in Oxfordshire. This blog describes the food I make for our family: I'm not an expert, but I do cook from scratch every day. It's partly a health thing (less salt and sugar, better quality ingredients), partly because I prefer to buy food as locally as possible (great butcher nearby, a lovely Italian deli, I belong to a food co-op, a weekly vegetable box, flour from local mills). I try not to use supermarkets much, but don't always succeed. Each year, I grow a little more of our food, mainly herbs and tomatoes; I'm far too idle to grow maincrop potatoes, but this year we're growing salads and many more vegetables. We keep hens; I plan to keep bees, which would make me a third generation beekeeper. I bake all our own bread, although my children would prefer to be allowed to eat sliced white in peace.
From the start in 2005, I have written this blog mostly for myself: to help me keep track of recipes and links. I'm not saying what I do is best (or even better); I'm just writing down what I do. It gives me huge pleasure that my children use this blog when they want a recipe; I am also proud of the number of cyberfriends I have made (and met) over the years.

How beautiful. I wish I had such a view. Sadly, living in London means that my kitchen doesn't even have a window!

I love those mornings! We'll get a few in Dallas like that maybe in Jan, Feb and maybe in the Spring.
Looks so beautiful Joanna.
Gorgeous! We had frost on the pumkins this morning. It's getting pretty chilly. Thanks for the photos :)
I'm with Antonia on this one. My London view is nothing like as beautiful as this...
Seasons of mists and mellow fruitfulness.
How exquisitely lovely, Joanna! I am so sick of my view of fire engines, yellow cabs, and other people's offices/ living rooms. We're heading to the country for a bit this week to recharge, but I can't wait for the day I can see something from my home like that beautiful mist again.
Your photos proove exactly why I love Autumn in this country.
With a view like this...I don't think I would make it into work!
Makes me excited for Winter. All that tramping about in the fields, then home for hot chocolate and toasted crumpets or whatever sweet treats we can find.
