Whatever else you do today (hello! I'm writing this a day late on Thursday: better late than never) go and vote. I don't care who you vote for, just vote. And if there's nobody you want to vote for, go and spoil your ballot. Spoilt ballots get counted as well, and can be a form of protest. On to Wednesday Wind Up. I've had a bit of a slow wake up this week, I think I either have a water infection or a cold, I find it so hard to get out of bed and into work. Or perhaps the sunny mornings just make me wish occasionally I was still a SAHM. Oh, the things I could do with a few days at home now! Never mind, that's not my season.

Do you know, I've never made pizza from scratch, so I would say that it does, in fact, count as a recipe. I've enjoyed catching up with your posts from the time I was away. We rarely have barbecues but we did have one on holiday. We were able to borrow a gas one, so much easier than coals but I suppose it takes the fun out of it a bit. We have a chiminea which is great for toasting marshmallows. I loved your post about the National Coal Mining Museum.

I shall now put it on my places to visit list, especially as we live in a mining village, though officially a town. The Gascoigne family of Lotherton Hall, which I regularly blog about, ran several coalmines.
