Afternoon Walk

Oh we did have a lovely walk today taking in the beauty of the countryside. The hedgerows and fields were brimming with spectacular blooms and colours. 

Just a slow walk as the sun was a tad too much for us - not that I’m complaining but it’s either all or nothing these days.  Wet, cold and windy one minute, heatwaves the next, when you don’t want to do anything at all,

This amused us as this beautiful herd caused a mammoth tailback down a leafy lane. Were they worried? Not a bit.

Cooling down now with a cold glass of Pinot. 

Bye for now, P x

Chicken supper

Hello all. 

Just a quick peek at tonight’s supper. Milanese chicken with Spaghetti and Tomato Ragu

I love cooking. I love food and I cook from scratch at least 5/6 days a week. This is one of our favourites. I use my air fryer a lot and it came up trumps with the chicken. I also do a lot of batch cooking for the freezer, so there’s always a meal I can pull out on a busy day.  

I love anything Italian and this is so tasty and doesn’t take long. What’s your favourite meal?

See you soon P x

Keeping dry on a wet day

Morning all. What a difference a day makes. Woke up to a misty, moisty morning with no sign of it getting any brighter. The hills are most definitely not alive today. Fortunately it’s very cosy in our campervan and I’ve brought plenty of things to read and do, including my mini paint set and my handmade sketchbook. I’d seen it on Instagram and simply had to have one - like you do!

I did wonder if it would really do the job. It did  😊

I enjoy creating, especially art. I’m not an artist, per se, but art journalling gives me a thrill (unless it goes horribly wrong) which it often does! Anyway, I have fun. Which is what it’s all about isn’t it?

Have a good day and I’ll catch up again soon. P x

Connecting with nature

 

Hello again. We’re away at the moment in our campervan in Sussex on the South Downs. Beautiful site, very peaceful and the weather could not be better. Lots of walking and plenty of fresh air. 

I’m not a lover of the heat but I’ll always find a shady spot to relax and read a book or two. My husband on the other hand can’t sit still and you’ll often find him washing and waxing our camper - in the midday sun!! It can’t be done at home as we keep it on a farm several miles away, so he takes the opportunity when we’re away. 

I love the outside life and connecting with nature.  

 

I’ll be back again soon. P

WANDERER RETURNS

I’m afraid I lapsed over the last 18 months. Not sure why or how but it happened nevertheless. Drawn a line underneath that and now look forward to getting to know you again and meeting new bloggers.

I’m hoping there’s not been too many changes to the site but I’m eager to give it another go. 

 

I’ll start off with my garden, which certainly had its fair share of rain this last few months. Mind you, everything is looking so green and fresh. We’ve found that by keeping our eye on it during the winter months and doing the odd bits of pruning, lessens the huge backlog in the Spring. We love spending time in our garden and enjoy the silence and birdsong.

That’s all for now.  See you soon P
