As I enter my 60s, I have started to think that I want to update things in my own way without disturbing the atmosphere here, so I have been trying various things in my traditional Japanese-style garden.
The back of the garden used to be a parking space, so it was full of gravel.
I started building a brick oven there about a month ago. Finally, it now has something resembling a chimney, and today I tried baking scones.
The finished scones had some ash on them and smelled of smoke, but they were delicious.
