Another typical day of spring showers and a stiff breeze. After a peaceful morning of bacon sarnies and the paper, we trotted over to Garwnant to meet up with Anna, Rebecca and Paco (Andy's best mate). We had a lovely walk in another part of the forestry with stunning views over the lakes and the hills. We returned to the cars and sat at the picnic table with our flasks and the muffins I made yesterday. As you can see from the attached pictures, they were a great success and got the vote of approval from all concerned. Becca brought some dog treats for the starving hounds and it was lovely to sit in the sunshine, drink piping hot coffee and watch the dogs while catching up on all the news.

Went to Brecon on the way home, for a quick spin round Morrisons. They are the only supermarket I've found in a 20 mile radius that does buttermilk which I love for a number of recipes, so I stocked up. While we were chatting, Anna was telling us about her recipe for "Puppy Soup" which she makes regularly for Paco. Inspired by this, we bought some liver for our two, and Andrew has just finished saute-ing it. Then it will cool slightly before being polished off. The woofs have got incredibly excited when he was cooking it -I suspect the aroma was driving them nuts. The young master is prepping some squid for later, and soon a crisp gin will be poured. A very enjoyable day.
