So it begins…

Another year, another #blogjune.

I’m quite intrigued/chuffed to see that we have a few non-library bloggers joining in this year. The full list is here; as I write we have a total of 66 bloggers playing along. I love all the different voices this year. Lots of reflection, ideas, questions. Some people are sharing quite serious issues, things happening in their lives. It will be an interesting month.

It was nice to have the first day of #blogjune fall on a Sunday, because, as I expected, quite a few people decided to sign up today. Being a Sunday I had plenty of time to add people to the list, tweet, read blogs.

In among all that I spent much of today making snert, converting all these ingredients:

It was the non-Dutch side of the family which enjoyed the soup today. Malaysian and Irish. Most of the soup’s gone – a very satisfying meal for the first day of winter.

Snert? Sounds interesting. Oddly enough, I decided to make soup too, partly because I despaired of all the slightly limp vegies in the fridge. Looking forward to #blogjune – there’ll be some great reading.

Just the fancy Dutch name for pea and ham soup 🙂

oh, I love pea soup (have a Dutch heritage) and your’s looked perfect – rookwurst & all, plus thick enough to stand the spoon up in!

Yes it was very very thick, Colin. And almost more ham than pea – speck, hock and rookwurst!
