The bank holiday weekend weather was disappointing. We were hoping to go somewhere nice to sit in the sun and have a picnic but no such luck. Instead we did most of the gardening and a local walk. What we always enjoy with breakfast is toast with marmalade especially if it’s homemade! It tastes much […]

Easter Weekend | Kate’s blog
It’s been a memorable Easter over the holiday weekend. My sister and brother have visited at different times and because the weather has been nice, we were able to have lunch in the garden socially distanced of course! I was very pleased to see them. I really wanted to give them a big hug, but […]
