Yum!

Cooked bread and butter pud for dinner, bloody awesome! Reminds me of mum. I finally started researching our holiday, taken me 48 years to book a trip back home! I found the house I grew up in on google maps, I recognised it straight away, and also the little church I went to school in. It’s still part of the school, thetown has expanded, probably a thousand people there now! Going to start in London, spend a day, then head down to ilfracombe Devon where I was born, Stonehenge is on the way, then up to cotton end Bedford where I grew up well that’s the bit I remember, I lived in Cyprus for 3 years but I was only 4 when we returned to England, then Paris for a day, just because apparently we have to, then to Germany for a few days, start at Cologne and go to the test track, then over to Berlin. Hire a car and go to Pinocchio’s town, a few WW2 sites, Dresden, Nuremberg, Munich, then a train to a town inthe Austrian alps, then Venice, Rome, Naples,Athens, Santorini to recover! Well that’s the plan, I’m working out how long we need in germany ATM, can’t believe how cheap hotels and getting around is! So tomorrow it might be Sauerkraut and egg noodles for dinner!

Isn't bread and butter pud a desert? At least how my grandmother made it, it was. :?

Got no real interest in visiting England, my daughters opinion of London was it was Melbourne but dirtier and bigger. 3 months in Europe, England was bottom of the favourite places with daylight second bottom.

Have fun though.

Yes it’s a dessert, and on London, I’m not a big city person, hence the one day in London, and then travelling around, same as the other countries we are gonig too. , if you google Devon it’s a holiday town, and cotton end is still a one pub town.

Get back to me when you've worked full time, came home every night to clean up after your ex, listen to the kids complaints about her, cooked their dinner, supervised homework and done readers when young, put kids to bed then done dishes and fed yourself and did that for ten years.

I'm not sure why I still retain semblances of sanity.

I just love steak!

We get pretty average cuts on-site and I never eat it anymore.

Got home Monday night.
Tuesday after my swim, massive (850g) rib-eye with the bone. Marinated in; olive oil, worcestershire, tabasco and 4 cloves of grated garlic for about 2 hr's, then on the BBQ. Just that and a few beers.... sensational!

Wednesday was light picking throughout the day, cereal, little tin of tuna, some fruit, coupla beers. Dinner was BBQ time again. Porterhouse steaks, marinated the same as the rib-eye and some BBQ snags, with eggs and chips (I make the chips and cook on the BBQ)

Yesterday was some chicken, but today, the craving for a steak will be satisfied at the Stringy Bark Tavern in Wanneroo, a catch up with the folks and brother for lunch. They do a really nice T-Bone.
Don't count the days, make the days count.
