Sunday April 7th

I always enjoy my Sundays...

its a chance to recharge my batteries ready for a new week.

There are some things you dont expect to see on a Sunday... 

which also leaves you pondering...

why??

After all that rain and hail the weather is pleasantly warm...

I think its time to get all my plants into the vegetable garden as some are getting a bit leggy. This year its a mixture of home grown seedlings, cuttings and shop bought.

I think the threat of frost has well gone now...so the only thing I have to worry about is this little devil... who is already planning his grocery run.....

And talking of food... for dinner we had a lovely chili made from this weeks meatloaf. This is an old family recipe and it says to divide into two serving bowls and sprinkle with cheese, but I wanted it to go a bit further and served it with mac and cheese 

A very tasty dish, not too spicy, and I will make it again

• In a medium sized saucepan, combine beans, tomatoes, and chili seasoning.
