Pretty New Hat

Hello all,

We’ve been out and about today! Very tired now!

First we got up and put a loaf of lovely bread on to cook, the recipe is on the blog on the link to the left.

I used 4 cups of flour this time, as the usual loaf is a tad small (or we could be particularly greedy?). Some blog entries relating to the bread say using brown flour makes a doughy loaf, but this loaf was gorgeous.

After breakfast, we headed out through the park in the sunshine to the station and headed into London.

Jon popped us into a black cab and we drove down Embankment to Harrods looking at the sights of London, soaking it in.

After cake and coffee, we walked to the Natural History Museum, for the butterfly exhibition. It was wonderful!

The chrysalis display was intriguing. All these dried caterpillars in lines. Some butterflies were emerging.

Watching the newly born butterflies appeared to be a metaphor for our existence. We think we are humble boring caterpillars. But we are glorious butterflies! All we have to do is hatch out of our restricting shells and open our wings!
