LOs from yesterday for dinner - beer can chicken, green rice and a salad of red gem lettuce, chicory, asparagus & avocado with a chipotle dressing - yum!

Wow...that's a lot of steps.
I am sure I don't do anywhere near what I should, but walking up and down and up and down and up and down (you get the idea) the allotment with the watering can must help.
Pity about not being able to book your holiday yet.
