Peppered Ham.
A while back I posted a picture of this Christmas present from Lady Magnon; a beautiful small peppered Ham. For those not au fait with such delights (and wondered what was inside) here is the answer.
I shall not, however, be showing the insides of my new 'phone.
I do love peppered ham - although I have only had it in the thin sliced variety. Not sure I could, or shall I say, my delicate stomach, take a good cut of it. But good for you for being able to handle it!
I do hate what this getting old can do to so many of my senses.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
