June 7th – Line up
“Which one of you ate the cake?” Yes, Denise slaved over a giant hot cross bun (18″ diameter). We had a slice and it was delicious, but when we returned to the kitchen after working in the garden for a cuppa, and another slice only to discover the tea towel that was covering it whilstContinue reading “June 7th – Line up”
June 6th – Contrast
Last week we were melting with temperatures in the mid to high 20’s. This evening we lit the fire…. What is the weather doing?? We did get some rain for the garden finally, and lots of indoor chores done which have been neglected whilst the weather was so brilliant, so not all bad.
June 5th – Weather
Well, as the farmers say, we need the rain. We had a really heavy storm earlier, and I was going to take a photo of that but a cooking incident hampered my efforts. I played in the kitchen again, and conjured up some chicken in Hoisin sauce, with garlic rice and black beans, topped withContinue reading “June 5th – Weather”
June 4th – Spring watch….
Alfie is fascinated by the sounds coming from the TV whilst watching Spring Watch. He seemed sound asleep, but jumped up on numerous occasions depending on the bird which was being shown, especially the Osprey.
June 3rd – Variety
I played Andy at golf earlier at Stockwood Vale Golf Club. I really enjoy playing at my local club, but as with most things in life, a bit of variety is good to keep you fresh now and again. The views on most courses are great, and Stockwood didn’t disappoint with some challenging ups andContinue reading “June 3rd – Variety”
June 2nd – Rude awakening
Not the start to the day we wanted this morning….. Water coming through the ceiling in the lounge. After switching of the water, it was time to find a rod to put some small holes in the ceiling, to drain the water off before the ceiling came down. After that was accomplished, it was timeContinue reading “June 2nd – Rude awakening”
June 1st – Sundowner
Another fabulous day in the UK, with lovely sunshine, and a great game of golf with great friends. I got home from golf and shared a BBQ with our drive guests Clive and Sarah. Afterwards, we headed up to the back of our garden to watch the sun go down on a fab day, withContinue reading “June 1st – Sundowner”
May 31st – No such thing as a free lunch
So Andy (step son) and Stella came over for a socially distanced lunch today, but the wife ‘suggested’ a task afterwards, which was sorting out her mosaic tiles into different colours. It was weirdly therapeutic, and thanks to some up cycled takeaway containers, the task was soon complete. It will really help Denise crack onContinue reading “May 31st – No such thing as a free lunch”
May 30th – Chores
More work in the garden today, ensuring the cabins roof is watertight, not that there is any rain forecast in the near future. Lock-down has been bearable for us due to having a fab garden and the weather being so good. We have been in our home for 14 years now, having started with virtuallyContinue reading “May 30th – Chores”
