Meal Plan Friday 10th April 2020


Well another week of self isolation for us. We are happy school has been out but I am not looking forward to returning to home education.

I have found meal planning so hard this week, nothing has appealed.

Last week's meal plan went well and we enjoyed all our new meals we tried.


Friday - Comfort food that is scampi, chips and peas for us. The boys will have pizza.

Saturday - Chinese Chicken Curry is always popular. I put pineapple on our eldest pizza as he adores it and to use it up may pop some in our curry (trying to make sure we use everything up).


Sunday - We have an amazing local farm shops round where we live. I called them and they delivered half a leg of lamb and a selection of cheese. I managed to get some bubbles in the shop so we should have a lovely meal.

Monday - Chicken burgers and curly fries

Tuesday - Salmon we have some potatoes so thinking some kind of small roasties and beetroot and green veggies with it. we shall see. The boys will have salmon, mash and broccoli

something like this 



Wednesday - Leftover lamb curry for Mr MC&W and I with some veggies to make it go further. The boys will have a quorn curry.


Thursday - I found a halloumi and bacon hash in a pinch of nom and thought it would make a lovely light dinner. Again using up the potatoes. The boys will have mini roasts, bacon and egg hash

    Meal planning is getting harder, I am struggling with it too. We have Scampi this week, it is one of my favourite meals. I hope you enjoyed your lamb yesterday. x

    Ooh halloumi & bacon hash sounds lovely. It's great that you have a local farm shop. I'm managing to keep the cupboards and fridge full, but we're not getting much veg at the moment. I need to stock up.

    I'm struggling with meal planning at the minute, the kids are fussy at the best of times and I just can't be bothered to have a battle with them at the minute!

    Your meal plan sounds yummy

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...

Bulb Rescue

Plants amaze me all the time, this morning I was tidying up and found a upturned pot. Under the pot I found bulbs that had fallen out but had started to grow leaves. They had no soil and still, these plucky little bulbs were wanting to grow. No soil and abandoned  Growing with no soil So I have attempted a rescue mission using things I could quickly find. I found a little old terracotta pot and some stones. Old Pot Few stones I had no compost (shocking I know) but I did have a huge molehill, so I grabbed some soil from that and filled the pot just over half full. The only worry I have is that our soil is clay and not sure how it wil work in a pot.will  Huge Molehill Some soil added Then I put the saved bulbs into the pot, they were not easy to arrange, so they have a kind of haphazard look about them. I then covered them with more soil and gave them a good water. Bulbs put into the pot Soil added  I am not sure if they will ...

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...
