A Late Sunrise

It may be Wednesday, but His lordship has foregone his day meditating in the hills to meet up with his brother and have a concentrated tour of the Edinburgh Art Galleries. Me? Why, I went food shopping for the dinner on Friday, which I have to prepare for us and the self same brother.

To give him his due, knowing how much I hate cooking for guests, HL offered to do it for us. However as he is only now learning the art, his repertoire is decidedly limited and the reputation of the Dower House kitchen would be at stake.
Oh how the sin of pride always trips me up!

This was the scene from the garden at 8:50 am this morning as the sun was rising and the mist was hanging over the meadows- only 5 days now until the winter solstice .
