Weekending



Happy Monday!
I hope you had a good weekend.
We did nothing, and you know what?
Well it was brilliant.
We were expecting snow (according to the weather forecast on Friday morning).
So we hunkered down, cooked, ate, read, built K-nex, watched The Wicker Man on DVD (what the heck was that all about?!), baked bread, indulged in some cheese and our own Market Garden honey.
Oh and can I recommend the 'little prune puddings with caramel sauce' from Nigel Slater's Kitchen Diaries 2 - it tastes so good.
It's been lovely and relaxing.
Just what we needed after last week.
What did you all get up to? x

  2. Sounds like a perfect weekend! We hunkered down too, but only a light dusting of snow on Saturday and all melted by the evening. Heavy overnight though so everything looking so pretty this morning. Your bread & pudding looks delicious!

  5. My father in law made us a wardrobe and put up a mantelpiece in our bedroom which has thrilled me no end. We went to a packed and heated-to-the-max cinema to see The SIlver Linings Playbook on Sat and then out for Sunday lunch and had one of those 'vegetarian' dinners that are just veg and gravy. So lovely really! Also watched Martha May Marcy Marlene on DVD which freaked me out a bit.

  7. Jen, your weekend sounds perfect, and I could've done with one like that myself! Ours was nice but pretty relentless, I have to say. The snow is here now though!
