Changes....

From 25°  to 15°  in two days ....

From skirts and bare legs to warm fleecy jogging pants with thick sox ....

From cool tiled floors to cosy  Alpujarran rugs ....

From iced drinks in the sunshine to mugs of tea and afternoon snacks .....


What a quick change it seems to have been this last few days.  I've just made a batch of scotch pancakes or drop scones, not sure of the difference really but they are very quick and easy to make.  Done almost as quickly as making the tea!

Whisk 1 egg with 1/4 pint of milk till really fluffy.  Add it to 120g self raising flour,  30g sugar and a pinch of salt.   Beat together  then  put tablespoonfuls onto a hot griddle or use a heavy based frying pan.  After about 30 seconds the surface of the pancake bubbles, turn it over for a similar time and then put on a wire rack to cool.  This made 19 pancakes this afternoon,  we ate some - not all - of them with butter and home-made fig jam.

Monty and Pip got to share the one that didn't turn out right, it sort of got stuck to itself as I turned it over.  They looked quite hopeful that they'd get more but the rest are for breakfast or elevenses tomorrow.
