Sunday morning breakfast made for me by J is nearly always an egg. Just the one, usually beautifully poached to perfection with the yolk oooooooozing out across the toast, just the way I like it.
J stops at a farm on his way home from work and puts £1 in the honesty box in exchange for a box of six eggy beauties. They are truly free range (the chooks have free run of the farm) and also organic. I tell you, I nearly hyperventilated with excitement when he opened this weeks box, they are so beautiful, don't you agree?! The deliciously coloured pale blue one, the dinky little dark brown speckled one.
And oh my :: the taste of them is divine. I dearly wanted to photograph my breakfast just to show you the rich yellowy/orange colour of the yolks, but alas I could not wait to eat. But believe me when I say these little beauties are the yummiest-scrummiest!
Oh, I love free range, organic eggs. They do taste so divine, pure, like eggs!
We don't have honesty boxes in Slovenia, but I love them so much. We were usualy buying flowers using this paying technique.

There is nothing better than a free-range farm egg, the yolks are always so much more yellow. Was the blue one a duck egg? My J makes a mean poached egg too! x

This post is lovely. There's nothing better than real eggs! I went egg collecting at my friend Dobber's yesterday and am delighted with my little collection.

My friend is given a regular supply of Cotswold Legbar eggs by her neighbour. Usually there are far to many for her to use and joy of joys she gives them to me. I especially love them scrambled or made into lemon curd.

Oooh the joy of eggy eggs with bright yellow yolks. I've a craving for a couple of chickens in our garden but I don't know if I could stand the few plants I have being pecked and wrecked!
