Our bedroom is now finished,the blinds were fitted today and we think they look very smart, the room looks bigger as the blinds go into the window space.
Last Thursday I went on a 6mile walk with the U3A, we were in the Teggs Nose area and it was very nice. The group are friendly and I will go most Thursdays while I am on long leave.
We cooked a 3 course meal at home on valentines day which was very tasty it was Delia Smiths Piedmont roasted peppers and focaccia, roast duck with the trimmings and then a tart with a soft macaroon filling topped with a few strawberries, it is a River Island recipe and we enjoyed a glass of wine or 2!! Other days we are trying out some new dishes, a new recipe for vegetable crumble was a big success, we will certainly have that again. Another day we made butternut squash soup and we have also made carrot, parsnip and coriander. We are certainly eating lots of veg, although we usually do. It is so nice to have the time to do extra cooking.
I am also taking the opportunity to make contact with some friends to organise meeting up.
This is all for now
