    Evening everyone,

    We’ve been to the cinema tonight to see George Ezra’s documentary - he walked Lands End to John O’Groats last year. It was quite an emotional watch, especially when he reached the Highlands which is where I’ve walked. 

    The minced beef hash is from the SW website/app @maman. We had Mexican chicken baked in the oven tonight. Some left for DH and I for lunch tomorrow. I’m in the office so it’s all ready to pack in my bag in the morning. 

    No ore than one plum @bubbs as they make me go 🤣🤣

    Good to hear news of your travels @joedenise. We holidayed in France a lot when the children were young. I remember DS1 complaining that we only ate mainly French bread and cheese! Yes…and???
