Brrrrr....

Happy Saturday Lovelies... and what a cold morning it was 

We woke to a covering of ice on the ground... unusual for Southern California. Thank goodness I covered the strawberry plants last night. It was lovely having a nice leisurely breakfast with MrD before he disappeared into his workshop for a couple of hours

Now the heavy rain has stopped I went out and pottered in the garden for a bit.. The flowers appreciated the downpour... even if it left me a bit damp

LaterI sat by the fire and did a bit of mending. How buttons go missing so easily I shall never know! But on the  other hand...I know I will never run out of buttons!

Meat Pie with a Biscuit Topping

Dinner tonight was Meat Pie with Biscuit Topping from "57 Ways to Use Heinz Condensed Soup", 1944.. Its fast become a family favourite.

We ended the evening watching  Veronica Lake, Frederick March and Susan Haywood in
