I was in  two minds about shopping this afternoon or tomorrow morning. I am lucky enough to teach in a school where we finish at lunchtime so I decided to go for it even though  I was exhausted after a week of teaching so didn’t really fancy it. However, I did check with Saira ( also exhausted after a week at the South Bank )  for cancellations before I went shopping and luckily there were none. So I went and bought all the food.

I cannot tell you the pleasure in buying fresh ingredients to cook a meal. I hope our guests will enjoy the food tomorrow evening. I have been prepping and cooking most of the evening with a short break with my husband and son to have a lovely meal at our local gastro pub called ‘The Junction ‘.

Looking forward to tomorrow night!
