Zoom tonight with you lot. Really looking forward to it. Tomorrow. Eldest grandkids are being dropped off in the morning. Meeting Mulv in Good Intent then off to the Blues with Granddaughter, whilst JB goes shopping with eldest grandson. Meet up with them again after the game. Sunday morning. Allotment and we’re dragging the grandkids with us. Sunday afternoon. Depends entirely on what the Gkids want to do. They’re staying with us until Tuesday
See you all later xx

Friday...We had a run into St Affrique shopping on Thursday. The verges all the way were covered in Cornflowers,it was glorious. It was a very unpleasant 35C.
Today I have spent all morning and half of the afternoon butchering meat for the freezer. Went for a short walk but it was blisteringly hot so gave up.
Zooming tonight...looking forward to that.
Pork Tagine for tea...I am feeling brave.
Saturday...More Butchering, potter around the garden and a walk if it isn't too hot.
Keema and Steamed Rice for tea...really looking forward to that after eating baby food for the last month.
Sunday...Pottering, might attempt a bit of woodwork on the house. Or I might not. Might have a mooch around St Sernin Sur Rance. Its a lovely old town.
Roast Dinner for tea...Give my stomach a break after the last couple of days.
Have a good one everybody.

First of all, thank you K for reminding me about Newton races. I shall avoid the wretched town like the plague, as the traffic will be horrendous.
Yesterday: We went to Widecombe on Thursday, so it was just a quick trip to Combeinteignhead for coffee as our gardener was coming to do some much needed work. Steak with a red peppercorn sauce for tea, then a very enjoyable Zoom with our good friends.
Today: See above re. avoiding Newton Abbot. I'll be keeping an ear open for the happenings at St Andrews, and then cooking a Couscous Royale (chicken, lamb and merguez sauaages) and having a beer or two to celebrate Blues' victory.
Tomorrow: Pork in cider for lunch after another trip to Comebinteignhead for a quick pint.

Ooo I think I’ve got Couscous Royale recipe written down Must try it again soon A key ingredient is "harissa". You can now buy the paste and a spice mixture in Sainsbury's. Merguez are almost impossible to get hold of in the UK however. I went to the Riverford shop near Totnes on Thursday and bought all of the Merguez they had on show - the bloke told me he'd have to make some more that morning!

Well done to the nag and its owners! What's he/she called? He’s called Brave Knight - Paul Nicholls stables Cheers K. Let me know next time he's running and I'll risk a small wager on him. So long as Lingard isn't the jockey!

Well done to the nag and its owners! What's he/she called? He’s called Brave Knight - Paul Nicholls stables It seems like one of your co-owners is an ex-colleague at Paignton. On Facebook he's called Ian Coults, but his full name is Ian Coulton. He posted on FB about Brave Knight's victory, with a few pictures and a video of the end of the race. Looks like BK won easily, although the jockey seemed to ease up a bit early! Can't see K or Tone in any of the photos nor the video.
