Spaghetti Bolognaise

Our latest home has a kitchen, so this evening we had our first home-cooked meal in a fortnight! The cry went up for Spag Bol, and good it was. We're resting up for a day or two, here in Massachusetts. Both kids are feeling ragged from travelling, and so are we. Eating out is cheap and easy in the States, but home-cooked is still best.

A visit today to the Shaker Village at Hancock, and an insight into a very different age, way of life and way of thinking. What radicals they were, these pioneers of a better alternative (and home-cooked meals), and in the teeth of often violent opposition. I'm thinking again about the lengths to which we will go to follow our own compass. A thought-provoking visit on a bright, cool Autumn day dressed in red and gold foliage.
