Meal Plan Friday 11th October

The meal plan is late again and rather rushed. I am finding with everything going on it is done last minute, I sit down in the evening and there is just no inspiration. Need to find a time to sit down when I can spend just ten mins planning.

 Friday - Scampi and Chips (fish fingers for the boys) and peas

 Saturday - Macaroni cheese for the boys. Chicken salad for us.

 Sunday - We have family over for ATM and Mr MC&W birthdays and we are having fajitas veggie and chicken ones.

 Monday - is Mr MC&W birthday so steak and chips. The boys will have tortellini.

 Tuesday - is a crazy day so simple meals for us all. Tomato soup and rolls for the boys. We will have a smoked mackerel salad using mini roast potatoes i just have to pop in the oven. Based on this

 Smoked mackerel salad with beetroot and horseradish

 Wednesday - Baked Gnocchi

 Puttanesca baked gnocchi

 Thursday - Mushroom Stroganoff and the boys will have a quorn one with rice

    I love the sound of the Mushroom Stroganoff and have never thought to make Daisy a quorn one! I wonder if I can make it dairy free! Thanks for the inspiration and I hope you're having a great week x

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...
