Despite the cold and the frost these roses, "The Fairy" are still blooming. They do not disappoint, they have been on the go all summer.
Speaking of summer, I miss it already but in warm-weather news I did book our tickets to Florida for our winter visit to my in-laws. It will be wonderful to see the sun in February, and wear some pink and coral frocks with these jewelled shoes:

Old J.Crew shoes that are my favourites,
even though they hurt like heck to wear.
With a coral silk J.Crew dress from 2005.
That frock is coming on 10 years! |
Roasted chickpeas... who knew?
They're so delicious! I drained a can of chickpeas and rinsed them well with water. Then I threw them in this shallow dutch oven with some olive oil, fresh thyme, red onion and a sprinkle of salt.
I also roasted some sweet potatoes, very easy with olive oil and salt...
as well as some beets in some protective foil wrapping.
Voila! This was an easy and attractive dinner last week, I served the whole roasted business on top of greens, fresh tomatoes and a vinaigrette.
The rascals loved it too. There's some kind of magic healthfulness to eating beets and chickpeas together... I can't remember the specifics but they do complement each other in texture and colour.
I'm wearing my
Brora cashmere military jumper today. This was a gift from Mr. BP a couple of Christmas' ago.
It never fails me. I'm wearing it with my
Eileen Fisher dark brown riding pants and my
La Canadienne boots, also in dark brown.
How about some boot detail?
Of course I am rarely without a
Brora shawl, this one is a particular favourite, I find the shades of peach, pink and celadon on the pearl gray so fetching.
I'm off to make some cream of carrot soup as I've had to go on a soft food diet for a bit. Anyone else suffering from
Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction? I hope not, it's the pits!
I hope instead that you are well and happy today.
