First Breakfast at the Cottage

June 30, 2025

I arrived at my cottage for the first time this season. Knowing we were going to be in London for a month I hired two young men (friends of the family) to go to the cottage and open it up, tidy, sweep, wipe down counters and set up the deck furniture and build me a railing for the deck. It was the best money I ever spent.

When I arrived I only had to make up my bed, cover the couches, start the fridge and put away the food. Today I will do a deeper clean of the cupboards and give all the dishes a quick wash.

This morning I made my first thermos of filter coffee and prepared oatmeal with fresh Ontario strawberries, drizzled with wildflower honey, cream and cinnamon. Yum!

Thursday Doors – The Bermondsey Beer Mile

thanks to Dan from No Facilities for hosting Thursday Doors https://nofacilities.com/2025/06/26/cmu-carnegie-mellon-doors/

For those of you who don’t know: the Bermondsey Beer Mile is a loose amalgamation of brewery bars and bottle shops, located along a stretch of railway arch that’s closer to two miles long nowadays. It is located close to London Bridge.

The most interesting parts for us were the painted doorways of the different bars.

Thursday Trios – Jet Lag Omission

I was so certain that I had posted trios for last week’s challenge

I love travelling but there are some downsides when you take long air flights across different time zones. Today Deb informed me that she didn’t see my post and I assured her that I had posted trios for last week’s challenge. Of course I hadn’t. I’m truly sorry.
