Very efficient meal-planning there! And well done on all the gardening. We've done a bit but nothing like as much as you! Must get on the case - got bird boxes to put up ASAP for starters!0

Yay to pay and meal planning and visitors, but a big fat massive BOO to you being in Southern lands at the end of APRIL. NO good at all - we'll be venturing to Northern climes as you know! Boo and boo again.
Roast chicken dinner sounds ultra yummy - we had lamb breast yesterday - paid £2 for the large chunk of breast and it'll do another meal yet. :T Happy EH's here.
