Thankful Thursday

Just a quickie today.  Not because I haven't got loads for which to be thankful but because  I had some pictures that I took recently that I wanted to use - honesty is, I usually think, the best policy.

Roast Tomatoes
Lavender essence for drinks
Champagne and lavender essence
Champagne with strawberry liqueur
At dinner on the night before Jamie left for his gap year in Europe and China Wendy had produced some unusual drinks: lavender and strawberry which, frankly, I though sounded rather awful.   I'll give most things a try though and I did realise that even if I didn't like the taste the colours were rather photogenic.  The essences were topped up with champagne and, I have to confess, were both unusual and much more pleasant than I had anticipated.

The roast tomatoes were lovely both to eat and photograph.  I often use roast tomatoes not just because I love eating them but because they provide such great visual impact.

So today I am just giving thanks for food and drink and for the opportunity to share these thoughts.
