Not sure if anyone noticed but my blog has been updated

In fairness nothing much has changed, but there are one or two new features that I like.

One of the new features is being able to have a separate blog header for each post.

Finally today I managed to get it to work, so if you click on the Rhubarb Jam post the header becomes Rhubarb.

Another feature that I like is being able to have a back ground picture, at the moment its one of my Race for life Pics.

Simple things please simple minds

Today 5 years after moving into my house I finally got my new living room window.

Upstairs windows have all been measured for new double glazing glass too

Still working on the New heating

Geoff has been telling me for years, how much better my house would be ,if i let him knock down the dividing wall between the kitchen and dinning room…

Well I also have permission to let him do that job now, lets just hope I don’t have to wait 5 years for him to do it

Tell me why on the hottest day of the year so far….

did we go for a 17 mile walk  ?? 

I can honestly say it totally wrecked  me and I don’t say that very often.

The walk took us by an open studio in Suffolk which we could not resist having a look around.

The lady made mosaics and had done some of her training in Ravenna

We also went through a brick works that was very interesting.

I just hope its not so hot when Geoff starts his big bike ride on the 7th July

<>< >

Not my usual kind of packing … that’s easy just a few bits of waking stuff and a spare pair of knickers.

All in a ruck-sac that I have to carry.

This time its a real holiday with a posh wedding thrown in too.

I am making the most of it and packing my whole summer wardrobe as well as a posh dress for the wedding.

I will even be taking 3 pairs of shoes.

Of course all the walking kit is coming too

Since April when I was struggling with my weight.

I have managed to loose 11lb and 3 inches off my waist.

So I feel great and just hope I don’t put the 11lb back on in one week

Anyway From Saturday you can find me here 

I enjoy cooking, especially at weekends for Geoff.

Though occasionally its really nice to be taken out somewhere special for dinner.

So on Friday I found myself at Restaurant 22 in Cambridge and not our usual Indian restaurant.

The converted Victorian house seat 26 in the main restaurant with no second sitting

Amazingly it was full, the atmosphere was lovely and it was nice to take our time enjoying the food and company.

I found it very easy to decide what to have…

Salmon tartare with grilled Cambridgeshire asparagus, roast red pepper foam

Roast rump of lamb, white bean cassoulet, runner beans, cherry and rosemary stuffing

Peach and almond tart, honey ice-cream

Our Guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves too

Last weeks walk was about surprising friends

So we turned up to walk with the Newmarket Ramblers who were walking from Pakenham, the village with 2 mills.

A watermill and a windmill.

Glad to say our friends were delighted to see us

We had a great 12 mile walk, then was lucky enough to be treated to tea and cake at the water mill.

Another great Sunday
