Holidays

I can't begin to tell you how HAPPY I am to be on holidays. I LOVE being at home, pottering around, de-cluttering, cooking, cleaning, hanging washing on the line to dry in the sun and the breeze.
I can't WAIT until the day that I retire. I NEVER get bored being at home. I feel so much more relaxed and less stressed when I am at home.

Today I have made a large cottage pie full of yummy ingredients:  beef mince, onions, garlic, carrots, mushrooms, celery, tomato paste, crushed tomatoes,worcestershire sauce, stock, and topped with mashed potato, and I have also baked some cornflake and sultana biscuits.


Ready to pop in the oven

Later today I will begin the task of making my home toddler friendly in preparation for the arrival tomorrow of my darling grandson H. Glass and china ornaments etc will be moved to higher ground, the toy box will be brought into the lounge area, and his bedroom will be made cosy and inviting.
He sleeps in a little bed at his place, but he will have to be in the cot here. Hope he doesn't mind too much. He's fairly easy going. We're going to do some fun things like taking a train trip into the city, going to a zoo, and going to the beach where we will find a rock pool, and investigate what lies beneath the water and the rocks. I'm looking forward to it. Let the fun times begin !
