    Good morning everyone, 
    Sounds like a hectic time at your sister's Brambling.
    After being dry first thing it's absolutely tipping it down now. DS2 got caught in the first downpour and got completely drenched walking H. My cooker front is looking much better after a thorough knobs off scrub. I really must remember to do that job more often as it was pretty grotty behind the dials - eek!
    The JO chicken with blueberries dish was gorgeous every element complimented the other. However the grain/lentil/pea mix made a huge amount there's quite a lot of that LO so will be the base for our lunches today or we might have instead of rice with this tonight Korean pork and red pepper stew | Tesco Real Food and have soup for lunch. The chicken and veg soup I made on Saturday is finished but there's a good selection in the freezer and plenty of tins in the cupboard so I'll hold off making more this week.

    Not a nice day here either so I jumped on an early bus to search out a very nice but pricey shoe shop only to find out they are closing down at the end of January :'(  I may have to make another visit before then  ;)

    I was getting hungry so picked up a few things from M&S food for a change; nibbled half a cookie on the bus back and very quickly snaffled a mortadella & coleslaw croissant when I got home. 

    For dinner I got some of their Spanish ham & cheese croquetas which I’ll have with some salad leaves and more of the coleslaw.
