The one you have been reading sounds intriguing. I would love the recipe for the carrot chutney.

The book sounds great, as does the chutney and I must say I'm jealous to see how much you still have in bloom.

Your needlepoint looks like it will be very lovely. The book sounds like it is keeping your interest as well. I enjoy turning the clocks back because daylight will come sooner. Although for the life of me I never understand why we have to mess with the time. It is what it is! There are only so many hours of daylight this time of the year no matter what one does with the time (LOL). Strange to see that you too have flowers re-blooming. My poppies are as well as my spring phlox. Been an amazing year for certain. Have a great week and I hope you see some sunshine soon!
