It is wet. I am standing inside a room dripping with water from its roof. Inside this little cottage, the smell of wet woollen rug and the metallic sound of water hitting metallic surface was overwhelmed by the sense of quiet that blanketed the room.

There are times when everything is just right and a recipe turned out perfectly, sometimes a little too perfectly.
