Spelt Sourdough Waffles

Sourdough waffles with cinnamon brandy butterSourdough waffles with cinnamon brandy butter

A fine mist hangs low in the fields. The grass is wet underfoot and the greyness accentuates the black outline of the trees. The wind is up and rain is on its way. I love the wildness of it.

I’m back now, in the warmth. I have earned my comfort.
