Urggg

Yuck, the weather has been vile today. 

Gales and heavy rain. Puddles and mud. Cold seeping into bones. Day four of autumn. 

Mr Mouse is horrified. 

Miss Dog zoomed outside and brought her chewy ball inside to keep her happy this evening. She's far too busy to smile for the camera. 

My students made delicious apple crumble today. Three of us rugged up and ran out to the apple tree in the classroom backyard to pick enough apples for a big crumble. The tree is an oldie but a goodie, that has delicious eating apples that seem to work fine for cooking as well. They have rather a lot of black spot, but that never put me off an apple before. Apple and blueberry muffins tomorrow.
