Another British thing.



I know you think I'm crazy obsessed, your right I am but I think this could be the end of it....Maybe.
Every British blog I read has someone or another eating Weetabix. Really, people! Do you know how hard it is to find this stuff? Its as bad as that strange smoked tea I was after for so long. I did end up ordering it on Amazon, remember. But I was NOT going to pay $18.00 for a box of cereal from them, I don't care where it is from. I do have my limits!
Buy some amazing chance I found a box of these in a clearance store amongst a bunch of other cereal. At first I thought I was mistaken and read it wrong,( like the time I thought the show 60 Minuets was 60 Seconds and couldn't figure out why it kept dragging on.) but it was the real deal. I was over the top excited to try it. So I rushed right home and popped it open. 


Here it is all open. They are biscuits and come in sleeves like Shredded Wheat. Some people in the Amazon comments section of purchased page stated that they are really similar to Shredded Wheat. WRONG! They look like tan, dried and packed fish scales. Shredded Wheat looks like tiny hay bails. The similarity stops at the packaging.



They said the consistency changes quickly. Some people like to eat them fast while still crunchy and others liked to take their time and let it get mushy.  I will clearly state, "They taste NOTHING like Shredded Wheat!" They start out a little crunch like dried wheat fish scales and then suddenly if your not quick they turn into baby mush. I have to admit I love baby cereal so the mush was good tasting but I don't care for mushy adult cereal so I was clearly disappointed in this whole experiment. 



Happily the anti quilt factor was that we are supposed to be eating pretty much Gluten free. So, I didn't feel bad pitching the whole box.  Oh ya, I forgot to say I only paid $1.00 for the entire box! WIN!
My curiosity is now appeased and I'm no longer temped by the "what ifs" now that's a great feeling. Now I just need to stop reading British books about strange things I know nothing about.

Yup! You guessed it the cat place, where you can drink your drinks, munch your snacks and pet cats the whole time, or if your like me you sit and watch the cats the whole time.  Tori was of course in her glory, petting a smooching cats everywhere.  Each of the cats have a pink or blue ribbon on them identifying them as male or female and with their name so you can look them up on a paper, that is on a table in the room, so you can tell how old they are.  I did find it very interesting watching the different cats interact with each other and us. They have little treats you can buy to entice them to come to you to be petted.  Tori was like this practically the whole time, this is her "happy place," amongst cats. Goodness she can go on and on about the virtues of each cat and she only met them once. This cat below is my kind of cat, wonderful to be seen but not touched. White, I like a white cat with a touch of black. They have "cat walks," u

I love the trailing days of fall, the light is different and the air feels just right. It always amazes me how the sun casts such a different kind of lighting onto the trees and other green thing this time of year almost like a spotlight but not harsh or hot.  I had a wonderful crop of raspberries just enough for a couple handfuls each day they were fun to watch progressing over the summer. At one point I had a scare. Some of the raspberry bushes got some kind of grub egg in them, I forget the name now but it lays an egg somehow that causes the top 3 inches or so to wilt. I googled it and got directions on how the save the plant and I think  I caught it in time. PHEW  I The garden as a whole is wonderful, a wild but productive place.  We have this one pretty maple tree in our backyard but unfortunately it may go next year we need the space to plant some fruit trees. I hate to cut trees but they grow like mad here.  I’ll leave you with my b
