A brighter outlook...

Work has been so busy of late - I feel like I have hardly seen the light of day...so this morning, seeing the sun shining - we took a stroll down to the sea front to blow the cobwebs out! Sat back at my desk all rosy cheeked and wind swept did wonders for the brain cells!

It is a strange thing, how you can miss something so much after only doing it for a while? We moved to the sea side back in June '09 and since then have being walking a lot more than we EVER did before. Our first winter here, I have personally realised how I miss walking if we don't get out for a few days! Who'd have though it.

On that note - look at this....

Just look at all those lovely little suns!!! Note to self: Get out and go walking this weekend!!!

On another note: I made some YUMMY (even though I do say so myself) cookies yesterday...so yummy they are almost gone!!
Oat, Sultana, Choc Chip and Pecan Cookies

They look enormous in this photo but it is just an extreme close up I promise. I kind of used a mish mash of recipe's so wasn't entirely sure how they would turn out but both Mr Blogger and I agree they are on the keep list! Just the right combination of crunchy, chewy, sweet, salty, yumminess once requires in a cookie!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I am so pleased you love walking, you are certainly in a beautiful part of the world to do it. As for those cookies, I will be calling you for the recipe, they look so good dad and I could almost smell them. Love you Clarabelle. xxx

We don't live far from the coast, about an hour away... but I wish we lived close enough to hear it... we hardly ever go to the coast.. this half term (much to my mums amazment, "what in this weather") we are going to the beach...

The cookies look wonderful...

I only wish we had the wonderful scenery you have for your walks. The flat plains do not offer much in the winter. I know, just another excuse.

Hope you wrote down your mish-mash recipe. I often experiment with recipes, but forget to write down ingredients. Keep it up as you may be the next Julia Child!!!!
