Meal plan Friday 3rd April 2020

We start another week of self isolation, the children are starting to find it all a little boring and the group chats are not the same. Even the four year old had some tears about missing pre school and his friends.

 I am still meal planning, it is so important and I must admit we have really cut down on waste which is a positive though we have had some random lunches.


 Friday - Fish and Chips ala the freezer

 Saturday - Burgers with homemade wedges. Our farm shop does amazing burgers and I am looking forward to this meal. Wedges will be using up a bag of potatoes.

 Sunday - We managed to get some chicken so a family favourite is French Style Chicken with roasties and spinach

 French style chicken, peas and bacon

 Monday - This is a new one and sounds fun

 Spicy lamb meatball pineapple bowl
Tuesday - This is a easy meal from Jo Pratt Madhouse Cookbook - Gnocchi with mushrooms and broccoli
Wednesday - Pizza quesadilla - I am kind of making this one up

 Thursday - Paneer Curry we have had before and it was very tasty.

    Aww! I really think the being at home is harder for the kids. My two are really missing their friends.
    Great meal plan. I do like the sound of the Spicy lamb meatball pineapple bowl. x

Mint is trying to take over the garden

I  am trying to tidy the garden up. We are a bit tight for money this month and I want to plant lots of bulbs. Instead I am tidying and keeping busy, let's be honest the garden is a weed haven and a total mess so I have a lot to do. Clearing this border however I have made a very important discovery. That mint is trying to take over the world, one border at a time. Two years ago I planted out a very sad and mainly dead supermarket mint plant. I did not think it was going to survive or the consequences of my naive action. It did survive and it did grow and grow. I then cleared the border down that year and the next it came back stronger. This year it was at its finest. Now admittedly I did just let it grow. The children loved the smell as did I. They were picking it, making mud pies with it, it was a source of fun. Then the flowers came out and the bees and pollinators were in heaven the whole border was alive, I had to keep it. I have now dug it u...

Did you have a good day?

I decided to write this post as a Mummy of a little boy who is on the Autism Spectrum  and has very limited speech and understanding, I wanted to give a glimpse into our world. He had been for a school trip to a small local airport and this is the story of collection and journey home.... As I walked through the door I almost heard the sigh of relief from the teachers, "Mummy is here" was said in that slightly high pitched tone mixing happy and stress all at the same time. OB runs towards me shouting Mummy then collapsed on the floor just by my feet telling me "I want yo see  animals and go to Legoland". OK I think to myself here we go, I bent down to his level and said in that slight high pitched fake happy tone that it was time to get into Mummy's car, but he was getting distressed the word Lego was being said repeatedly. I noted he did not have his Lego (Lego goes everywhere with him) I enquired about said Lego, luckily it was quickly found, this seemed to...

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...
