    Sounds good @AuntyRach. I hope you enjoyed it - I love a nice homemade curry. Tonight though, I made a paella with chicken, tuna fish and prawns as the main protein ingredients, along with various veg. Tomorrow it’ll be the traditional Easter lamb 😁.

    I think there was sleet across the valley earlier, Hosta,  so I’ve snuggled down in front of TV, and now watching ladies riding in the Paris-Roubaix bike race.  I’ll never get used to seeing them getting around the cobblestones. 😳

    Good morning all,  good evening @pat E

    I'm joining you all in the garden today! I had an early night to make sure I've got maximum time and energy. 

    We got a leg of lamb for today also but after a discussion we decided we would rather have it as a curry.  So I cut it up and adapted one of Nadya Hussains recipes then stuck it in the slow cooker over night. Again this will give me extra play time in the garden!!

    I hope everyone has a day doing things that make them happy!

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ and Happy Easter to all, however you celebrate it. As son is more mobile now I slept in my own bed and was out like a light 🛌 from 8:30 to 6:30am. By the time OH and son were awake there was a loaf of bread proving 😇 
    Now we’re eating more hot cross buns and enjoying the sunshine. 
    So glad Wonky has time to enjoy her garden and spend time with her Lovely hub and stepson today. She has been an absolute star … I could not have managed the last three weeks without her ❤️

    Morning all.

    Happy Easter 🐣🐇🥮🥚

    Your lamb sounds delicious @WonkyWomble. I love it slow cooked.

    We'll go to the service in our village church.
    Rarely go there as it's not used much. One wall has alarming cracks but there is no money for repairs. There are so many beautiful stone churches in Norfolk. I wonder what will happen to them all?

    Then I may do some gardening. May go for a very short walk with OH.

    Such brilliant progress Mum! I'm still coming to help at the end of the week though.
    I have a feeling my lovely Hubby and step womble will be watching either football or sci-fi so I'll be much happier in the garden!!!

    Morning all.

    I’m watching a squirrel go ridiculously high up in a very tall tree that borders my garden, and a pair of wood pigeons coo about in another tree. The sun is trying to come out and I’m just deciding what garden jobs to do today. 

    Happy Easter to those who mark it. Have a good day everyone, whatever you are doing. 
    My garden and I live in South Wales.
