Brookford Kitchen Diaries

Sunrises and more

My sister just sent me through a photo of our old house in Castle Hill… yep, gone. We might have been gone for 5 years, and we knew this was always going to happen, but even so it feels weird to see this. Development…
Yesterday was International Tea Day… so here’s tea & scones in a posh cup. So what if I’m a day late? In other news, it’s still raining. According to the dude with a rain gauge, 135mm from Friday through to 11pm last night… and still it comes down. #wetweekend #overthisrain #teaandscones
It’s pelting down out there today - & autumn has finally arrived. What better way to spend a Saturday than drinking tea, making up soups for the freezer & scones for now. #scones #brookfordkitchendiaries #bkd #teaandscones
Wild & windy out there this morning, but loving the cloud action. Mostly though I’m loving that it’s Friday - even though the weekend forecast isn’t the best. #mooloolababeach
I’ve had a rough couple of weeks for reasons I don’t need to get into here, but was surprised by the delivery of these lovely blooms today from an even lovelier friend. It made my day, my week, & more. 😘 oh, no need to worry - all is ok, it’s just one of those times…
The sun put on quite the show as it was thinking about waking up this morning… #mooloolababeach
