The week is all about
At the moment keeping the child (Flora) and dog from destroying the house!
That Friday night feeling
Has definitely changed. Now it’s a Zoom party with the bakers (the rest of the GBBO 2019 competitors). We have a Friday night quiz.
Saturday morning – papers or Parkrun?
Park dog walk. I live in Burley so Bramley Fall Woods.
Feeding time – brunch, lunch or picnic?
Garden picnic with whatever we’ve been baking that morning.
Retail therapy – where would you head?
I love second hand/vintage at the moment. I am trying to buy less new stuff. So it’s a trawl of eBay and Etsy.
Saturday night perfection…
Dinner and a movie.
Sunday chills
A woodland walk.
Fresh air favourites
We can’t do any of them at the moment but The Hollies or Meanwood Park are the closest places to walk and forage.
Sunday night ritual
A decadent bubble bath
