    I can recommend Seafarers in St Anne's for fish and chips. They do sit in too which is always good.
    Thank you for the recommendation. Looks like it's temporarily closed though. We usually head to the Bispham Kitchen.

    I have picked one of the broccoli-kale mix plants as the heads were starting to open and flower buds form, as it starts to go to seed. I also pulled three good sized carrots. With runner beans (already in the fridge) and new potatoes, I have half a pack of chipolata sausages for supper tonight. 

    And speaking of fish, I am meeting three pals for lunch on Thursday at a coastal fish restaurant. Not something I do often, but looking forward to it

    Just posting on here so I get notifications.

    This week:

    Tuna pasta bake Monday

    Goan seafood curry Monday Tuesday Wednesday

    Tomato rice Thursday Saturday

    Squash macaroni cheese Friday Sunday


    Had samosas and onion bhajis last night as I had an online class. Naughty but nice. £4.25 so not bad for an emergency meal.

    I’ll plan for the rest of the month this evening.

    sounds complicated - as a housekeeper, do you mean?

    I read that as cooking family sized meals but then having to eat themselves!
