Tuesday 10th March: A chilly start, warm sunny lunchtime and now gusty and heavy rain at 4pm! Schooling went well this morning and we whizzed through what we needed to do. The chickens are still laying 3 eggs per day but as the days get shorter they will soon reduce and even stop for a while. I weeded the veggie plot after lunch. I put some new seeds in before we went on holiday and they need transplanting but there isn't any space yet until we get our first frost and then I can harvest the yams.
The photo is of today's creation by Edward. It is a motorised windmill made of K'Nex. It works superbly, with interlinked rubber bands in a geared mechanism down the side, and a crank handle too.
Recipe for chocolate mousse to use up eggs! Melt 200g dark chocolate. Whisk 300ml cream until thickened. Whisk 1/3 cup caster sugar and 3 eggs until thickened. Mix all together. Divide amongst serving dishes or small tumblers. Chill in fridge. Eat! You can add extra cream and grated chocolate on top to decorate, but really there are enough calories in it already!
