We are flat out looking for a new place to rent, which is proving challenging due to the fact that our little furry companion, Tina, isn’t a valuable addition to a household in most landlords’ eyes. I must say that we are very hurt and disappointed by this. I mean, isn’t England the country of cat lovers, for God’s sake?
The time is ticking and we are growing a bit more concerned by the day. Luckily, Duncan’s family – who have been hosting us since our arrival last week, have once again saved the day. Duncan’s cousin, Sydney, has agreed to keep Tina while we are renting as she loves cats and her house has a massive garden, which Tina loves. We hope it doesn’t come to that, but equally we do need to find somewhere to live eventually, especially that all our stuff is going to turn up here rather soon… While we are both stressing about making sure we have a roof over our three heads – Duncan is on the phone to recruiters, I am frantically looking for a suitable house to live in – Tina spends her nights prowling the garden and days curled up on a chair in the conservatory, sleeping like an angel and enjoying occasional sun rays on her back. We have only been here for just over a week, yet Tina has managed to grow an extra fluffy coat in response to colder temperatures – it’s crazy how adaptable cats are! While Duncan’s family have been amazing and are encouraging us to use their kitchen as much as we want, I am really looking forward to moving into our own house and getting down to some proper recipe creation again. I have plenty of ideas mulling around in my head and I cannot wait to do some testing. Meanwhile, here are our peanut butter brookies, which we shot a while back. They are based on my previous brookies recipe, yet the peanut butter addition brings them to a new level of indulgence 😛 Enjoy!
