Hi. Halloween has never been my favourite festival. I definitely prefer bonfire night on 5 November, and of course Christmas and Easter. I’m not a religious person so Christmas and Easter are festivals of family, friends and food. I’m getting into the Halloween spirit nonetheless with my home grown pumpkins 🎃 – looking more orangeContinue reading “Halloween is coming…bonfire night…then Christmas!”

The Savill Garden (again!) third time this year
Firstly I’d like to say I really ❤️ my aircon. So lovely. Cool. Refreshing. I’m lying on the bed after a beautiful stroll around The Savill Garden today. It was hot at The Savill Garden, but quite shady along many of the paths. I seem to be going back to this place every month atContinue reading “The Savill Garden (again!) third time this year”
Highlights of London: Part 2
So to continue on from last time, we enjoyed some bits of our stay in London but not the awful service and lack of adequate Covid measures in the hotel. There is a really big shortage of hospitality staff at the moment in the UK so lots of staff are new and untrained, some ofContinue reading “Highlights of London: Part 2”
Leftover Easter eggs?!?
There was a link on the BBC news website to a recipe for rocky road made with your leftover Easter eggs. Leftover Easter eggs?! What a ridiculous suggestion. We may not have finished these beauties yet together with some other chocolate treats ongoing in our house, but I’m confident that we will. It will beContinue reading “Leftover Easter eggs?!?”
Sunset behind my favourite tree
Greetings Wafflers. How are you all doing? I’m managing to hold it all together and am having a relaxing weekend so far. This morning David was teaching a Zoom guitar lesson, so I decided to go on a little “coffee walk” as my sister described it. I walked, bought a takeaway cappuccino from Costa andContinue reading “Sunset behind my favourite tree”
Mistletoe Thursday
Hello everyone. It’s been a good day. Do you like my mistletoe? I found loads of it on a tree at eye level. Usually it is in bundles right up at the top. I’m in a good and Christmassy mood. All shopping done online has turned up, no hassle. I just have a bit ofContinue reading “Mistletoe Thursday”
Microwavable treacle sponge and belated Wellington College
Last night we stayed in, of course. Staying in is the new going out, unless you live in Scotland or maybe Wales from tomorrow. We enjoyed a chicken dijon meal from Cook, purchased via our new local Budgen’s store who now stock a limited Cook range. I served this with new potatoes. Realising we hadContinue reading “Microwavable treacle sponge and belated Wellington College”
On this day in my Waffle life… err, nothing happened
It was a boring day. Nothing happened. The end. Hang on a minute….there must be some Waffle to report after 2 days. OK let’s start with the garden. Even though it wasn’t sunny today, it felt quite muggy outside and was plenty warm enough to sit outside drinking my coffee this morning. I do enjoyContinue reading “On this day in my Waffle life… err, nothing happened”
Going out again
Last night we had dinner in the garden of The Greene Oak, our local pub restaurant. We could walk there so no danger of picking up the virus in a taxi. It’s also ideal in that there is a big garden you can access directly from the outside, without having to go through the pub.Continue reading “Going out again”
Fish pie and my new cook books
Hello there. This is my fish pie from last night, and very nice it was too. I make this fish pie from time to time. First I make a basic white sauce on the hob, then I add a packet of mixed raw fish, in my case from Ocado, and a few herbs, dried orContinue reading “Fish pie and my new cook books”
