The Birthday Gift and the mid week loaf

I don't think I've mentioned that my friend has just had a birthday.  My gift is a choice of dinner out or I'll cook whatever he'd like.  Ponder and let me know …. ok, pondered – eat-in!

Before we head out today I promised myself I'd make another loaf of soda bread – just to make sure that it wasn't just good luck on the previous occasion.

Well how about that – another success, so am more than confident now that my friend will be able to produce his own as and when.

 

A further ponder and the birthday gift will be Sunday lunch of roast beef with all the trimmings.  I've suggested too that dessert could be a toffee apple crumble with the vanilla ice cream – celebrating the fantastic local apples purchased yesterday!

A spot of garden planning today prior to a day out visiting Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens  tomorrow.  If you're a lover of gardens and plants then there's no point in visiting anywhere without making sure you're armed with your own ideas for areas you want to work on.  For example the front of the house is as big as the back :

 

Note to self :  don't forget your phone – to take photos and a small pad and pen, not to mention comfortable shoes!
