Wow, what a weather day. I was hoping for a little gentle summer rain as the garden is either like dust, or in other parts, concrete. The summer sun is gorgeous, and I’m certainly not complaining, but such extreme heat sucks all the moisture out of the soil, and...

Went for a lovely walk today along the Cuckoo Trail. We drove down to Hailsham and set off down the trail towards Polegate, 3 miles away. So a there and back walk would be a goodly amount of 6 miles, just right. Only we went the wrong way and were actually headed back...

Had a good first dieting day yesterday and had what I had planned. Did some exercise, and have done some today too. I am doing the 5:2 type diet, but every day for a while, until I get fed up of it anyway. I had 50g porridge oats, made with water and 2 tsps muscovado...

Well, how was your Christmas and New Year? I had a smashing time, lots of jollity, meeting up with friends and family. Lots of lovely food too. I put weight on easily, and feel too fat now. Have been thinking for a while now that I really must buckle up and take some...

On Friday evening we went to see some very close friends that we have known for at least 20 years now. I was looking forward to it as K is a very good cook and we have had many a lovely foodie conversation over the years. We met a new couple which is always lovely,...
