-to be taken once with a small, well-chilled Screwdriver:
One friendly and loving person to go out early while One is still sleeping, to find flowers, orange juice, croissants and brown bread. In the light of the croissants the brown bread was ignored, see below.
A friendly and loving hand to make the Screwdriver, while One is poaching brown organic eggs.
Brown eggs and simmering water and a croissant bed = very good foundation for breakfast.
Pancetta crisping, ready to be added to eggs...Coffee on the boil. Milk hot.
Chives, just-snipped from the terrace. A knob of organic, sweet cream butter, to melt over eggs and croissant. Black pepper.
And the crispy pancetta.
Sunshine in late October, a cat wearing a ribbon, and lots of flowers.
Good man, good cat, good food, beautiful flowers ... it don't get much better than that. Happy, happy birthday, Marie!
