Since my lack of success with the 'Magic Bags' a while ago, I haven't managed to get one at all. They either fly out as soon as released or are too far or too late in the day for me to pick up. DD has got the Greggs ones down to a fine art! She has managed to get 3 over the last few weeks. The latest one shown above contained:
Ham & Cheese baguette
Tuna crunch pasta
4 sausage rolls
4 doughnuts
2 Gingerbreads
All for £2.59 (RRP £8)
And the previous haul contained a lovely fresh sliced bloomer loaf . Success!
This last week has been a bit mundane for us, just catching up with jobs and chasing, chasing, chasing progress.....
Bungalow Update:
Why is everything such a struggle lately? I got so frustrated with lack of information, poor communication from all concerned, as well as being unable to speak to a 'real' person, that I got stuck in and 'kicked ass' as they say! I spent most of 2 days on the telephone, insisting on speaking to someone in authority each time until I got a call from a man who knew what he was talking about! He chased everything up from his end regarding the purchase of the bungalow and emailed me all the legal stuff in pdf files which I promptly forwarded to our solicitor. He now has everything required to process the purchase. We are now waiting on the local searches for the sale of our current home which have a backlog of months by the sound of it. Then we should be ready to go. I feel rather like ' I bought a dog and have to bark myself ' as far as the solicitor goes. Which begs the question "why am I paying him so much?" Fingers crossed that things will start moving now....
Allotment News:
Our Grandson, K, helped us out again on Tuesday by climbing a ladder placed against the Bramley apple tree. So many windfalls were depleting the harvest and the last few were big apples which had fallen and been spoilt. K enjoyed the adventure of climbing the tree for the best fruit! Any which didn't come away easily were left for another day. The harvest totalled over 20lbs of fruit 😀 I processed any which were blemished, zapping them in the microwave with a spoonful of sugar and freezing in batches for future crumbles. The rest were shared with DD, my brother and our storeroom 😆
We have picked in the last week :
Sweetcorn cobs (3)
Runner beans
Calabrese (4 decent size heads)
Parsnips
Carrots
Raspberries
Bramley apples
G has sown lettuce and spring onions this week.

One of the hardest things is buying, or selling, a house. Things move at a snail's pace unless, like you, someone takes the initiative.

ReplyDeleteThe very act of dining, whether in the intimacy of one's home or amidst the buzz of a restaurant, is an experience that engages all senses. The sizzle of a pan, the aroma of freshly baked bread, the vivid colors adorning a plate—all contribute to the symphony of sensations that accompany a culinary journey. Food engages not just the taste buds but evokes nostalgia, triggers memories, and stimulates emotions, transcending the realm of mere consumption.Las Casuelas Nuevas
