I am ashamed to say that I don’t really know my family’s history with regards to the World Wars. I know my family have traced our family tree back through many many generations. And that Mr B Senior (morning Hopalong) has worked tirelessly on the Barrow side of the family, but for me I don’t really know any of the stories related to the wars. I don’t know how many
This should be renamed “It’s 5pm and mum has no idea what to do for dinner so has slung all these random ingredients together and called it Chicken and Chorizo Risotto”. But I have to say it is super tasty, very healthy, and a complete doddle to cook. Even for the world’s worst cook like me 5.0 from 1 reviews Chicken and Chorizo Risotto Print Prep time 10 mins Cook
“You need to set your alarm for 5am tomorrow” “What? Why?” “We are going out for lunch” “Then why the hell do I need to set my alarm for 5am?” “Because we are having in lunch in Calais” “oh for God sake, mum”
Well, I’m just squatting here really while T is looking the other way, and thought I’d just jot down some musings on a rather fab book that turned up from a lovely lady called Amanda Jennings. It’s an interesting tale of a couple stuck in a rut, trying to sort themselves out, wondering whether they should carry on or call it day, and follows them through some trials and tribulations
It is no secret that I am a tea obsessive. I think the next time I cut myself it will be tea that comes out, not blood. Getting a cup of tea is the first thing I think about in the morning and I can’t really think properly until I have had one. I drink it by the bucket load, not from dainty cups (though I admit that tea in
As you may know, this year is my year of trying to be more positive. To try and really focus on living life and not coasting through it and to have a real life philosophy. And that saying above is now my new mantra. It has really struck a chord with me. What do you think of it?
Last week I wrote about the Build-a-Bear Workshop and suggested you are never too old for a teddy bear. Well the same is true for a visit to the Warner Bros studio and their “Making of Harry Potter” tour. When C had a week off around her birthday recently there were a couple of things she wanted to do: Thorpe Park with her boyfriend and two of their mates, and
The above is the photo I was going to use for today’s Silent Sunday. A nice vase of tulips taking on our patio table. But then when I woke up this morning and lay in bed having a rare (and I mean really rare) lie in, I spotted this list: 100 People who make life better for others.
When I was first approached and asked if I wanted to review the Build-a-Bear Workshop my first thought was “hold on, my children are 20, 18 and 15, why on earth would I want to do that?”. And then remembered that you are actually never too old for a new hand made teddy. So accepted gratefully and told E that we were off to Basingstoke the following Saturday. There
One word on The Gallery this week.
The lovely people at Revolution Sports asked if we would like to go to the RWHS and, as it’s just up the road, and we will go to the opening of an envelope like to get out when we have nothing else on and there’s a place we haven’t been before. Anyway, it was a lovely day to head off to Datchet, find the car park and then wonder which
I don’t know exactly when it hit me. It might have been walking out of the pub that Sunday. Back towards our cars and you holding my hand. You in your mustard jumper.
