To which I say yes, Anthony, there IS actually something so civil on earth,
it’s called tea.
oops. supposed to be sans mots…

Another Trollope lover — yippeee. And the wonderful thing about finishing one of his novels is that there a gazillion more to read! Love this picture. What a find.
My love leans more to tea… but yes, both are yummy.
Oh, this is just perfect! The things you spot on your walks always amaze me. I love that the owners wrote this quote for passersby. Where was it? Oh, and I like the way the ivy trails down the left side and along the bottom, creating a natural frame, and echoing the green-painted window frame.
It’s in Stratford. Outside a coffee shop and next to a book store. On that funky little street opposite the info centre.
Oh, what a wonderful discovery! Tea, coffee, the sentiment remains! So interesting that those are new bricks (I wonder why) that form the tableau for the delightful quote. So civil indeed!
I didn’t even notice that. The new bricks. I wonder if they resurfaced them specifically to be able to write on them…
Trollope certainly knows what he’s ‘chalking’ about, Carin. Good eye!
P. actually spied it. (:
I agree completely with the sentiment, though the window display seems to tell a different story of civilization. Your colours here almost rival Barbara’s. We could do a theme of bright and clashing colours, or reds and greens. Oh, you probably already have a red and green theme in your “Today’s Colour” section. I must go there and look.
A colour theme! I’m in.
No red and green! I did enjoy your green, orange, red and yellow hugely though.
You like peppers I’m guessing… (;
Yes, I do and actually made this fantastic dish for supper yesterday. http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/apr/16/yotam-ottolenghi-shakshuka-recipe Highly recommended!
Oh, thank you! Had a peek at the video… it looks as though he tosses in those sprigs of thyme whole. Surely he de-leafed them? Need to get me some saffron. Also, that sugar… is there something special about it?
He probably did toss them in whole. I have seen people do that in Provence. They just pick out the branches again before eating. Very simple actually. I doubt if you need that specific kind of sugar. I’m sure brown sugar, or even white would do.
Okay. Whole thyme it is. Will try it. (I bung it into stocks that way but then strain it afterward. I have this fear of choking on a stem.) (;
