Sunny weather and sausages

Wow it's been so lovely this last week! The weather has actually been good for about 10 days which is amazing in this country even in the summer. It's been an interesting week and I have been lucky enough to spend quite a bit of time working at home, so have been able to sneak some time in the garden in breaks from the dreaded paperwork. Last week we bought a cast iron chimnea which is very elegant and also VERY HEAVY !! The easy put it together in minutes instructions were seriously optimistic and had Mark sprawled on the lawn (sorry grass patch) it's not big enough for a lawn, for over an hour and involved a fair bit of swearing and 2 cups of tea.... And so to light it. hmmm not so easy either, however after some discussion and a bit of encouraging it eventually got going and by 9pm we were READY FOR THE SAUSAGES (appologies to any veggies out there). Not just any sausages mind, no, only Tescos Finest 2 packs for £3.50 yummy. Mark decided to take charge,well the first sausage fell through the rack and had to be rescued from a firey grave, brushed off and carefully placed back on the rack (the other way round). The same thing happened to the next 2, but finally we had 6 cooked sausages, slightly charred looking but totally yummy.We also had a VERY HOT chimnea that was just asking for more food, so, we cooked the other 6 and totally pigged out (sorry for the pun). I reckon with the charcoal and lighters our tea cost about 7 quid! Anyway it was fun and we'll definately get some more practice in if the weather stays fine.

My Sunday

Well we decided to give ourselves a day off today, we've both had a really busy week and I have the biggest backlog of paperwork ever. But no matter, not today anyway, the sun was shining so we were up early and off to Worthing at 8.30. the drive was lovely everything is so green and fresh. Worthing is a lovely resort on the south coast and much quieter than Brighton, I spent many childhood holidays there. Anyway we walked a long way down the prom, the sea was calm, the tide was going out, the sun was warm on our backs. Then on the way back we stopped at an hotel and had yummy full English breakfast sitting on their terrace overlooking the sea. This may all sound a bit trivial, but you don't get too many days as perfect as today in England. Later we walked back through the town and did some shopping then popped in to see Marks brother who lives nearby. Even later we came home and went for a very long walk in the woods backing on to our house and discovered some beautiful spots we haven't come across before. Finally home for a cold beer and a little supper. ....perfect day
