Hi there it’s ME……on easy weekend eating 11th & 12th January 2014.

Scones and

My Victoria Sponge Cake...!


 It's early on Saturday morning and we’re off with Alice to collect the dear SO's  youngest granddaughter, for we’re on baby-sitting duties today.  We are also heading over to see friends with a new DeLonghi coffee machine, ‘cos they’re longing to display their Barista skills for us.

We’re presented with our choice of latte and cappuccino and chocolate biscuits to munch, while the children, there are now three, are happily playing.   We chatter away, all perfectly happy to be together, skipping our hot coffees and watching the little ones learn to communicate and get along with each other.

We’re planning to go our separate ways, when its decided we’ll all go out to lunch together at Limes Farm Restaurant, a favourite venue with everyone.  On the way, we’ll call in at Hinton airfield, to let Alice have a good run-about, and we’re hoping that parachutists may already be jumping out of aeroplanes, or that a glider will be taking off.

Well, yes to both and, despite the freezing wind whipping about our heads, we stand and take in all the activity for some while, before the cold becomes just too cold.

At Limes we plump for hot coffee and their Farmers Fried Breakfast and we begin to thaw out.  The children are happily tucking into chicken nuggets and chips and the littlest one is happy in his high chair throwing his mug around.




No Black Pudding by request!!!



We only had small snack food in the evening.  He had cheese on toast and used up all the cheese so I toasted two slices of my Marks and Spencer Made Without Wheat Brown Seeded bread, Hellmann’s mayo and my own home-made creamed Cavolo Nero spread on top.





my super toasted supper!

On Sunday morning, it's frosty cold and Alice is taking us for a walk to Daeda Wood, which is brilliant if cold, so we head off to another friendly family gathering and have buttered muffins and mugs of tea for brekky - brilliant!!!
Buttered muffins



I bake gluten-rich scones and a Victoria Sponge Cake for tea time -  see above!!!


For supper, snack food again - bacon and egg toasted sandwiches - mine is gluten-free, of course!

And he ate his up far too quickly...!!!
