Winter Blues

I don't know about you but this wet and miserable weather is starting to get me down. I get out of bed in the morning and it is dark and dreary. I don't seem to have the energy nor enthusiasm for anything anymore. Today was my first Saturday off for a while and I decided I would have a lie in and crawled out of bed at about 9am to be greeted by the lovely Mike with bacon and mushrooms simmering in the pan waiting to be put in a sandwich as a special breakfast to cheer me up. Lucky me! It was delicious but the choice of bacon is the key. We have found that bacon is being sliced more and more thinly as meat producers are trying to cut costs and the resulting bacon strips release so much water and foam that they shrivel into nothingness. Our producer of choice is Spoilt Pig which is only available at Morrisons. Well worth a trip into store to purchase. My bacon sandwich perked me up so much I went for a wander in the brief glimmer of sunshine which revealed itself in Cumbria this morning, but looking out of the window now the rain has returned. When will these winter blues end?
