Indulgent weekend off to a flying start:D
Friday night was a batch cooked dinner, wine and a bit of snoozing:)
followed by my treat of the week - Saturday morning coffee in bed
The weather continues to be gorgeous and we've had a perfect hill walking day with lots of stops to lie in the sun and take in the views:). Lunch was hm pies using dinner lo as a filling, ys bread sandwiches and hm cake. For the cost of a bit of fuel we've had an absolutely wonderful day:D
Batch cooked veggie lasagne is heating up so an evening of relaxation and a box set beckons once I've had a long bubble bath.
Feeling very content with my lot:)
Happy sunny Saturday to you:)

Sounds like a perfect Saturday.
I can not believe how lovely the weather has been for such a good run of days and weekends.
I'm assuming that this lovely May weather means that the summer holidays are going to be a wash out.Outstanding mortgage: £23,181 (December 19)
