Happy New Diary!

I will be lurking in search of inspiration, and commenting sporadically as before.

Best of luck with your plans for 2015.

Sounds a wonderful day GP and your meals look loverly!
I used some leftover sprouts in JO Korean ricey dish thing instead of cabbage. Just sliced them up and stir fried them, they were great, not at all sprouty tasting not that I'm averse to that.;) I still have some truckles that will need to be used up so will have to be creative as I am following SW! Tomorrow is the last of the gammon that I will reheat in a sauce made with a tin of toms some chopped onion, carrot, celery, garlic and chilli flakes stirred through pasta. I sometimes make this with bacon or Quor* sausages, a grating of Italian cheese, job done. I'm trying to have more no meat meals, although DH is a true carnivore he has accepted reluctantly a few that I have tried on him.:D Your meals always look so inviting just have to persuade DH that he would like them too:o
Well I'm orf. Thanks again for letting me pull up a chair to your table.

Hello Greying! I too have made it through the wormhole with DD, the three cats and Pirin in tow! It's lovely to rejoin the party here ready for new beginnings. I love the theme of your new thread and it's something that has been fermenting in my subconscious for a while. I am seeking a simpler life with less ownership and more being I you know what I mean.

I'm so glad that mothernerd, beanielou, Lilty and everyone else has.made it through the portal too. You've created a wonderful community!

Dinner looks delish as usual. I had a revelation regarding food recently. After we left Him I rebelled senselessly against cooking and threw away my favourite books. This Christmas my DD bought me my fave one's back again off my Amazonian wish list. They were only about thruppence each but the sheer pleasure I've had going through them and planning what to cook has been immeasurably motivating and uplifting! I seem to have rekindled my love of cooking and feel happier for it.

I hope that all of us find new or regain old skills over 2015 and keep moving forward together on your new thread Greying.

By the way Pirin is a joy and a little gentleman! Dd is training him really well and he is a delight to have in our family.

I'm going to think about my goals for the coming year over the next few days. I'd like it to be stable after the upheaval of the last seven years! Love to all of you x

As always, Hopefuljoy a lovely post. I am glad Pirin is becoming the gent you need in your life how utterly lovely of DD to get you those old things. I know the feeling of throwing away ones old self, and regaining the pieces as you come back to your sense of self eventually. I hope you find more pieces of the old you that you enjoyed being in 2015 and beyond. xx

Phew! I managed to squeeze through the wormhole too despite the bit of over indulgence during the last few days which has added to my girth :j. I don't make new year resolutions but I do intend to get back to normal eating very soon
I am really looking forward to seeing the direction this new diary will go in so Happy New Diary, GP

Turn my back for a few hours and look what happens. Glad you signposted our way gp or we might have thought you were avoiding us.
