Bacon Sandwich

Breakfast: Thank you Carol for the kinds words about the bacon (we took some as a gift on Friday).

Scoth Eggs

Lunch: Again a quick lunch when we returned from taking down the summer house that Ingrid is giving to Maggie, now that the work is starting on her new garden plans.. Can't wait to see it develop

Dinner: We bought a Honeydew Melon 2 weeks ago (maybe longer) when it was on special offer. It was not ripe and so we have had it on the side (not in the fridge) and it has ripended nicely

Pork in BBQ Sauce

Belly slices, brined as usual, sprinkled with seasoning and a little herb, wrapped well in foil and then in the oven for at least 90 minutes at 160c. Remove from the foil (or just open it) and slather in bbq sauce of your choise, cook open for another hour at least

131 Days After Lockdown : Sunday 3rd August, 2020

PUT YOUR POO IN THE POST & COP A FEEL What a lovely Sunday afternoon First visit from Damien & Karen since Karen's personal lockdown sometime ago. And they bought their very cheeky little chappy with them 'Murphy' Before posting this I discussed whether I may add the post that Karen added to her Facebook and she kindly agreed, wanting to spread the message. Many of our friends and family have gone through or indeed are still dealing with the disease. The message is simple, even now with Covid-19 in our midst, be aware of your body and make sure to take advantage of any health screening you may be offered This is a long post, but please do not skip this part and go straight to the details of lunch at the bottom Karen - It’s been a while since I’ve given everyone an update and this is because healing from the lung operation has been complicated due to an infection and also the results weren’t as I had hoped. During the operation the...

We will also add recipes in some form as and when time permits along with some of the thoughts of why we made those choices We were fortunate enough to do our monthly shop before the lockdown, however, we have not really struggled to find what w...
