牧羊人派 Shepherd's Pie

中秋過後，早晚寒意深了，天色也濃了。

每年這個時候，身心都有一種暈醉的感覺。那涼到骨子裏的清冷，只會帶來熟悉的温馨。

Mid-Autumn festival started the autumnal season. After its departure, the air has gone colder and the sky turned greyer. 

I love this time of the year. Although the temperature sometimes feels quite chilly, the familiar anticipation of the seasonal changes send warmth through my body.

中秋節快樂 Happy Mid - Autumn Festival ( Moon Festival )

中秋節本是個一家團圓的日子。但最近看到有些朋友的抒發，不禁令我充滿感觸。

卻只想給大家一些勉勵，親誠的問候和深切的祝福。

若我們懷抱著愛心與信念，堅持支撑下去，總會有等到月圓的日子。

『嘆十常八九，欲磨還缺。若得長圓如此夜，人情未必看承別。』

在此謹祝大家中秋節快樂，和平健康！

Mid - Autumn Festival ( Moon Festival ) is supposedly a day for happy family reunions. But having read

some of my dear friends' writing in recent days, felt more deeply during a seasonal festival like this; they reflect the pain and trauma they're going through in their lives.

So it is at this time, I wish to offer them my most sincere encouragement, support and heart felt blessings.

I want to tell them, if we keep our love and faith close to our heart, and continue to stay strong and keep going, you will get to witness the full moon one day.

For now, let me just wish everybody good health, peace and a :

" Happy Mid - Autumn Festival! "

雖然我們結婚已三十年了，我對我丈夫仍然不很瞭解。我作出了個結論；因為他是男人，我是女人。

Having been married to my husband for thirty years, you might think that by now I would understand him very well. However, this is not the case. I have now come to the conclusion that as he is a man and I am a woman, this divergence of opinions is set to remain. I think if I was able to understand his mindset, I would do by now!

夏日新鮮雜莓小塔 Fresh Summer Berries Tartlets

我是一個對四季都愛的人。由不同的氣候狀况、美麗的大自然變化，到音樂、食物和時裝 ... 每個季節的轉換。每年都相同卻又不一樣，熟識卻又新奇。每次仍會給我帶來讚嘆和喜悅。

I am a four seasoned person. From appreciating the different weather conditions, the changing beauty of nature, to music, food and fashion ... the changes from one season to another. Every year is the same and yet different, familiar yet refreshing. It never fails to bring me joy and surprises.
