I simply love spending time outdoors, looking at the garden birds and busy bumble bees.

I had a lie in today, it’s Sunday, so why not? I got up at 10ish and brushed my teeth but didn’t floss. I showered for 3 minutes and 47 seconds. I like and find useful that the shower lets me know how long I showered for.

Then I went downstairs and had a nice cup of coffee with milk and half a glass of freshly squeezed juice. I like having healthy foods and non sugary drinks.

We had a three course meal starting with a bowl of tasty creamy leek and potato soup. The main featured a slow cooked lamb shoulder with red wine gravy, Yorkshire puddings, new potatoes, peas and mint, carrots and cabbage. The meat was cooked to perfection and came easily off the bone. For pudding we had fresh fruits including strawberries, pineapple and nectarines with homemade vanilla and orange ice-cream.

Then we cleared the table and played the board game Topix, which we got recently. It does take a while to go around the board and win. Each player picks a token, which assigns the topic, and the peg is on the letter the words need to begin with. All players aim to write down as many words as possible within one minute. Based on our experience, a total of 8 turned out to be the maximum number of words one can write down beginning with a certain letter.

Once we finished the game, I went out to explore the garden. I first stopped by to check on the herbs.

Then I popped in the potting shed to look at the ready to pick mini munch cucumber. I smelt the roses on the way to the vegetable patch where you can find peas, runner beans, tomatoes in hanging baskets and pots, sweet corn, beetroot, Swiss shard and radishes.
