Menu Planning Monday 24th May 2021


I cannot believe how quickly the last week went by. I had fully intended to do two blog posts but before I knew it Sunday had arrived. Last week was very busy both for work and personally. It made a change to how it has been the last few months whilst we have been in lockdown.
Saturday was Craig's birthday and we had his family and my parents, sister and brother in law came over as well. Luckily the weather was with us, unlike the rest of the week and we were able to sit in the garden and try out the new garden furniture. I hadn't realised until that time how much I had missed people coming over for food and chat.

The Weather
After last weeks washout it looks like things are improving especially for the Bank Holiday weekend


Looking forward to:
The bank holiday weekend and a visit to Haworth in Yorkshire, home of the Bronte sisters. Emma has her first Covid jab on Thursday. She is 21 and one of her friends who works for the NHS has arranged it for her.

On the Menu
Monday -Teriyaki Chicken and boiled rice
Tuesday - Spaghetti Carbonara
Wednesday Homemade soup and crusty bread
Thursday -Portobello stuffed mushrooms with spinach
Friday BLT or Club sandwiches
Saturday -Eat out in Haworth
Sunday Roast dinner

From the Camera

Now Emma has finished her apprenticeship and is waiting for 'Runner' jobs to come up she has decided to work on her photography skills and has been using Penny to practice on. She has offered to take photos of my Niece's daughter and their dog and wanted to scope out some places where she could go. So these photos are hers but who can resist dog photos.






Hope you all have a good week.

Linking with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom and Katy at Katy Kicker.

  6. Great photos! Emma is very talented. Glad you are getting to see family again. They've actually lifted the mask mandates here for vaccinated people (three of us are now fully vaccinated, just working on convincing my husband). It's so odd and yet wonderful to go out and not need a mask. Still have to wear one at work, however. Hope you have a great week!

    1. Thank you. I hope the weather stays dry. The photos I have seen of how pretty Haworth is were the reasons for wanting to go.

  9. Stunning photos, She has a great eye. My daughter started getting into photography this year.
    Beautiful dog...is he a Border Collie?

  10. Penny is a border collie crossed with a Springer Spaniel so she is a Sprollie. I hope your daughter has plenty of savings as the more she gets into photography the more expensive the equipment she will want.
