Today’s lunch with a LOT of steamed Kale! Trying @clivespies @abelandcole #vegan #glutenfree #pie #greens

Left over sausage, bean and pasta casserole with the addition of cheesy mash 👍👍 Hard to beat comfort food. #comfortfood #cheesymash #sausagecasserole #homecooking
View from my desk. I love first floor open plan living. #townhouse #openplan
Is anyone else getting fed up with cooking and cleaning the kitchen. In 10 weeks (I locked down a week early) I’ve had one meal delivered and one takeaway fish and chips. Missing the occasional trip for fine dining now too. Living on memories isn’t quite the same! @lenclume #lockdownblues #homecooking
Today’s visit to Elvaston country park. Not too busy and a lot of social distancing going on. A walk that didn’t raise my heart rate but it definitely lifted my spirits. Couldn’t find my 6x great grandparents parents headstone in the churchyard but a few Fosters that maybe related. Will visit again soon. #elvaston #derbyshire #fosterfamily #stbartholomew’s
Met my friend Jinny from @idealcatboarding at a local beauty spot yesterday for a social distancing dog walk. Just 4 miles from home. It was so lovely not to be walking on my own. Thanks Jinny see you in a couple of weeks. ❤️ #socialdistancing #walk #elvastoncastle #elvastoncountrypark #derbyshire
Every week I’ve been ordering 💐 from @sainsburys and the colour choice is random. This weeks selection is definitely a winner. #freshflowers #thankyoukeyworkers #flowersbrightenmyday
This was supposed to be a good morning post but chickened out till now. Anyway Fundamental lesson. Do not wash and dry hair within 5 minutes of going to bed ! Result bad bed hair. 😱 Grey roots coming along slowly and none at my temples 👍👍 @khhairsadlergate #bedhairday
A first. Hopefully not the last. A remote game of junior Monopoly. My money disappeared in a flash the first game. So last ☹️ Then beaten into 2nd by £1 by @gemdewhurst. Here’s to the next time. @hasbro #juniormonopoly #lockdowngames #facetime #grandson ❤️❤️❤️
Not having a working fridge was a great excuse. It arrives tomorrow thanks to @longeatonapplianceco In the mean time enjoying delicious fish and chips from #sitwellfishbar #spondon 👍👍👍 #fishsupper #socialdistancing #openairdinner #fishandchips
They had so many plans. Those that died in the conflict. They had so many plans. Those that came back changed forever. They gave so much of their lives for our today. Those that gave so much, we thank you. Harold Evans Husband to Joan, Father to Lizzie, Grandpa to Gemma and Sarah Great Grandpa to Harrison My Father-in-law. A toast to Harold 🥂xxx Thank you Harold served as a Flight Engineer on Lancaster Bombers for most of the war. After VE Day, much to his Mum's upset, he was posted for two years out to the Far East. Travelling in December 1945, first to Bombay, then eventually in March 1946 from Calcutta by train, then by boat stopping at Singapore, and then to Java. He wasn't looking forward to the train journey as far as comfort goes, "although we will see a bit more of the country, as we cross right over the Eastern side, which will take 2 to 3 days" By the 24 March he is heading for Batavia. Starting his letter home "Well folks here we are in the middle of nowhere once more, with nothing to see except water." He also complains that Rangoon (3 days) was even hotter than Bombay. The last letter we have is from Palembang in Indonesia's South Sumatra. Harold starts his letters Dear M, P, G, (Ma Pa and Gwen his sister) and signs off with "Cherio for now, all my love, Harold. xxxx” #veday #75veday #ww2 #ww2history
