The blends of red-gold-pink-indigo presaging
Shepherd’s warning early this morning were gone after twenty minutes of glory. Thereafter we were overhung with leaden pewter.
We shopped at Tesco later, and the rest of the day I settled down to “Roderick Random” by Tobias Smollet.
This evening we all dined on Jackie’s spicy chicken jalfrezi, or milder korma, according to choice; boiled rice; meat samosas hot or not; and plain parathas, with which she drank Hoegaarden and I finished the Malbec
Sounds like a good day for a good book, followed by a delicious warming meal.
Thank you very much, Pat
Looks like you had quite a morning for pictures!
Thanks a lot, GP
Stunning skies!
Thanks very much, Dale

I’m often under a rock or behind the curve, but I have to ask: is your Downton the ‘Downton’ of the program about the Abbey? I never watched the show, but it’s title came to me when I read your title.
Not exactly – but Julian Fellows, the writer, lives here in the New Forest from whence he took some of the names
The purply sunset is indeed very picturesque Derrick …
