After months and months and MONTHS of lockdown, after not being able to leave our neighborhood let alone city, in May 2021, we finally got away. To Wales! Snowdonia! To a teeny tiny little stone miners cottage with no Internet or phone service.
It was perfect. Things were in motion for husband, new job-wise and he’d just finished the equivalent of the English bar exam (he’s been a Scottish lawyer for FOREVER). Theo was being a joy. I was pretty happy, despite all the isolation. We had our first Covid vaccines booked thanks to
@toastandapples. And Wales was beyond imagination gorgeous— even in the cold and grey of early May.
This meal was my favorite of the month. Welsh lamb chops from a local butcher, quickly seared with some @beach_food captain’s cat môr seasoning. Gorgeous wine from @berrybrosrudd. Local potatoes with butter and herbs. A sense of the possibility and the promise of the future. Everything May should be….except warm 😹
