Meal Plan Friday 2nd August 2019

We yet again have been fighting OBs type 1 and Mr MC&W was away due work for 3 days last week as well. The last thing I could get my brain around was what to eat for the next week. So I am hoping things get a little better this week.

 Friday - Scampi and Chips for Mr MC&W and I. The boys will have fish and chips and peas.

 Saturday - Jackets, beans and Cheese for the boys. Mr MC&W and I are having a Charlie Bighams curry.

 Sunday - A family birthday so a family BBQ

 Monday - Pesto and Mozzarella Mushrooms. The boys will have tomato soup.

 Crunchy pesto and mozzarella baked mushrooms

Tuesday - Paella this is based on an Ainsley Harrriott's Smokin Paella dish which is simple but tasty

 Wednesday - Child Friendly Thai style noodles and adding more curry paste for the adults

 Child friendly thai chicken noodles

Thursday - Gnocchi with broccoli and mushrooms this is from Jo Pratts Madhouse Cookbook and the boys have broccoli and peas. It is such a quick and easy meal but really tasty and you can chuck so much in it that you have leftover in the fridge.

Pleached Trees - Higher Privacy Solution

As you are aware we have had the new fence put in and are trying to find some ways to gain some privacy back, the new garden fence . Today I took the boys on a trip to one of my favourite places to look at trees and plants. English Woodlands located at Cross in Hand, East Sussex. We brought our laurel plants from them about 4 years ago, they were extremely good plants healthy, strong and have since flourished. As a nursery, they helped us choose what we needed and even told us to buy smaller ones as they would grow so fast, saving us money. I have been looking online and wondered if pleached trees maybe an answer to our height issue. What they should do is bring height to the fence but still allow light in. Now these are by no means a cheap and as always I am not sure if Mr MC&W is going to like them. So what is a pleached tree you ask?, to be honest, I only found out when frantically on google looking for  solutions for the new fence. A pleached tree is where som...

Feeding a Bee with sugar water

Have you ever been in the garden and seen a sad looking bee on the ground not really moving? You watch it for a while realising the poor little chap is really struggling. I have found several bees like this and tried to feed them sugar water. But my attempts to rescue them mainly ended with me trying to drown them, I was really not aiding them during their time of need. But I have finally developed a method that works so I thought I would share. Mix together white sugar with a little water so that it completely dissolves, RSPB suggests 2 tablespoons of sugar with one tablespoon of water. I used desert spoons but the same ratio. The advice is never to use honey or brown sugar.  This is what worked for me, move the bee to a paving stone, I used a strong leaf they tend to walk onto it, if not you can easily slide it under them, then drip a small amount of the sugar water in front of the bee. The bee will start to drink the sugar water and you will see it begin to get stronger. It...

Planting LolliPop Trees Elaeagnus ebbingei

I can not believe the day had finally arrived, the trees we had put so much thought into were going to be planted. We had the conifer and last shrubs removed and the whole area dug over and ready for the arrival of the LolliPop Trees Elaeagnus ebbingei. Finding Elaeagnus Ebbingei Area cleared and ready for the trees I was on the school run when they arrived. I walked round into the back garden to see five of the most beautiful trees in huge pots ready to be planted. Mr MC&W had chatted to the team that the trees need to be the same height despite there being a slight slope. Elaeagnus ebbingei all ready to be planted It was great to see the tape measure out checking the spacing between each one, as this was such a crucial part of the design. I can not believe how fast they got the first tree in and how polite they were when we suddenly realised it was overhanging the neighbours' boundary. They brought it forward no questions. First Elaeag...
