A day late this week, what with the clocks changing and the fact I had to work as was running a reactive dog walk, unfortunately I had no time first thing Sunday to write my blog.
Yes I actually write my blog on the same day I post!
So last Sunday was Mothering Sunday and Georgina my eldest took me out for Sunday lunch. It was an extremely yummy and huge roast lamb which I definitely struggled to get through.
As you can imagine we did not need to eat much for the rest of the day 😀
In the garden as the weather has been rubbish not much has been achieved. I did fill my pallet planters but have had to move them from where I had hoped they could sit as they became a little back heavy because of the soil and would have blown over, especially in the winds we had this week. Therefore I have had to prop them against a fence and a wall at an angle.
They took far more soil than I thought they would and I also wanted to get my sweet peas into their pots for growing up the archway, so I need to get more soil to finish filling the pallet planters. Only then can I start filling them with plants and seeds.
One of my tomato seedlings has popped it’s head out on my window sill. It is the same variety I grew last year (Roma) which produced some lovely plum tomatoes which I sun dried the last of them and in fact I am on the last jar at the moment.
I have not done much in the kitchen this week other than basic meals although on Friday I did make a chocolate and blackberry mousse cake. I used a recipe but I feel I could definitely improve on it as I found the cake to be too dry but the mousse part was a revelation so I will share that with you.
3/4 cup double cream
1/2 cup seedless blackberry jam
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Whip the cream until stiff and then add the vanilla and jam and mix until combined. Chill
Yes that is all there is to it and you could probably use other seedless jams too.
My crocheted granny square project is slowly coming along square by square 🤣 but in-between them I found a fun pattern and joined in a live video to create a very simple bunny.
I have created a new meal planner sheet for the Spring/Easter period and you can download your free copy by clicking the link below
Well I wonder what this week has in store for me but until next week have fun and step out of that comfort zone.
