Thursday, 28 April 2011. Easter Weekend - Part 2. Easter Monday and the sun was still shining so we headed to Cambridge. We walked through the 'Cambridge Backs' which takes you along the river at the back of many of the famous colleges. The banks of the river are filled with Bluebells. I love the buildings of Cambridge, especially the roof tops. We walked across some of the many stone bridges. The river was busy with Punts. Is this guy the 'coolest' punt guide ever?

market town girl: July 2010
http://markettowngirl.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, 31 July 2010. I am loving the garden at the moment but I can not take much of the credit for it. The hard work is done by my man and mother nature. The weather has been lovely for the last couple of months and we have been spending as much time as possible in the garden, this table seats 8 people and summer Sunday afternoon lunches have been filled with chatter and laughter as the family catches up on the weeks news. On a warm day they come and take a bath in this shady spot. Links to this post.

Tuesday, 21 December 2010. Snow Days and Menu Planning. The snow is still with us and has somewhat delayed any last minute Christmas shopping as the roads are still so icy. The food shop is my next task, the menu for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day is done, the shopping list is written and this evening I am off to get as much of it done as possible! On Christmas Day we have the traditional dinner, Turkey and all the trimmings. Once I cooked dinner for 27 people! Roast Turkey, Honey Glazed Roast Gammon.
