New days

First breakfast in my new place (when I say mine I mean that which I share with 7 others) and I wanted to recreate something from home. Sad, I know. I had bought some damsons and so I stewed them to make something like the compote my mum had made from the excess of plums we'd had at home. I should have just added a bit of sugar but I threw a cinnamon stick in there too which made the breakfast experience a bit too Christmassy for a mid-September morning. Oh well. Our home-made strawberry jam from holiday in France made up for it on toast.
