Well, amazingly we had beautiful weather during our stay in Keswick, in the English Lake District, it was a wonderful week. We actually climbed a little mountain, and went to a stone circle that is 1000 years older than Stonehenge.<br />
<br />
We have taken lots of pics, and if I receive some comments I will publish them - the more comments, the more pics!<br />
<br />
Here is a poem I recently came across in a book called 10 Poems to Change Your Life. Hope you like this one as much as I do.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
The Journey</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
One day you finally knew</div>
<div align="center">
what you had to do, and began, </div>
<div align="center">
though the voices around you</div>
<div align="center">
kept shouting </div>
<div align="center">
their bad advice--</div>
<div align="center">
though the whole house</div>
<div align="center">
began to tremble</div>
<div align="center">
and you felt the old tug</div>
<div align="center">
at your ankles.</div>
<div align="center">
"Mend my life!"</div>
<div align="center">
each voice cried.</div>
<div align="center">
But you didn't stop.</div>
<div align="center">
You knew what you had to do,</div>
<div align="center">
though the wind pried</div>
<div align="center">
with its stiff fingers</div>
<div align="center">
at the very foundations,</div>
<div align="center">
though their melancholy</div>
<div align="center">
was terrible.</div>
<div align="center">
It was already late </div>
<div align="center">
enough, and a wild night,</div>
<div align="center">
and the road full of </div>
<div align="center">
fallen branches and stones.</div>
<div align="center">
But little by little,</div>
<div align="center">
as you left their voices behind,</div>
<div align="center">
the stars began to burn</div>
<div align="center">
through the sheets of clouds,</div>
<div align="center">
and their was a new voice</div>
<div align="center">
which you slowly</div>
<div align="center">
recognised as your own,</div>
<div align="center">
that kept you company</div>
<div align="center">
as you strode deeper and deeper </div>
<div align="center">
into the world,</div>
<div align="center">
determined to do</div>
<div align="center">
the only thing you could do --</div>
<div align="center">
determined to save</div>
<div align="center">
the only life you could save.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">

Isn't that lovely? I've posted this for all mothers, grandmothers and stepmothers, for people trying to help others at their own expense, and for a wonderful blogger way up in Scotland, who is not receiving comments right now, so the above is my comment to you in turbulent times. Go well.</div>

<br />
We are planning to go to Keswick in a few days' time, and the weather forecast is not looking at all good at the moment.<br />
<br />
Any ideas for rainy day activities will be gratefully received!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile I am baking cakes and cooking up some casseroles which I will freeze and take along with us, so we can have something nice and hot when we get there.<br />
<br />
I made some lemon drizzle cakes for the holiday yesterday, using a different recipe to my usual one. They sunk dramatically, but hopefully they will taste just as good as ever!<br />
<br />
We had dramatic rain in the Midlands last Thursday, which was so bad that even Tesco's had to close due to flooding. We thought we had got off lightly, until days later when I went into the garage and saw a big lake in there! Mr LFH had to bail it all out, the ground has almost dried out now. A bit of sunshine would be very welcome any time now!<br />

</div>
<br />
I am not really a sporty person at all, but <span style="background-color: white;">as the Olympic flame was coming to Stratford upon Avon this afternoon, and as this is one of my favourite places, we thought we would go and cheer it on its way through the Midlands. It was such a fun day, there was also a River Festival happening, so more pics of that to follow when I have loaded them. There were lots of canal boats on the Avon, decked out in bunting, and there was a wonderful atmosphere. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">We went into the Shakespeare Theatre, and I bought a copy of the script of a play the RSC performed last year called Written on the Heart, written by David Edgar. It is about the making of the King James Bible. I look forward to reading this in my own time and savouring the text, as sometimes you miss things during a performance. </span><br />

For a few years I have had metatarsalgia, so walking any distance has been rather painful, as well as having bunions, so imagine how surprised I am to have absolutely pain-free feet for the first time for as long as I can remember.<br />
<br />
These are the beauties that feel so wonderful.<br />
<br />

They are Skechers Shape Ups Action packed, and they are amazing! I have been reading the reviews on Amazon, and apparently they are just the same as MBT's but £100 cheaper. Actually, these were a bargain. They are £65 at Amazon, but I bought them from Costco for £23, brilliant. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There seems to be some controversy about whether they actually tone your muscles. Well, they will enable me to walk more, which must surely have health benefits. I don't believe they will be a short cut to more toning, but then I don't believe in short cuts anyway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've worn them for most of today, and my feet feel more comfortable in these shoes than they do in just my socks. I am so pleased to have accidentally stumbled upon something that has enabled pain free walking, very happy.</div>

So what's been happening here? The biggest excitement has been the arrival of a new grandson! Baby Samuel was born a few weeks ago. He was quite poorly at first, he caught an infection so was in special care, but he has pulled through and is doing very well indeed! My son and his partner are coping splendidly with it all.<br />

Here is one very proud granny with our little fellow! He was only a few days old here, and had only just left the special care baby unit. Isn't he a little darling?</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We also had our daughter and granddaughter Poppy to stay. Poppy is now 9 months old, so very interested in everything. We took her to a sea-life centre to see all the fish, and to a children's farm to see donkeys, goats, ducks and everything else in between. Watching Poppy's reactions to everything was priceless. </div>

I won't be blogging for a couple of days, as Real Life is going to be claiming my time, real people, real places, real conversations, I'll tell you all about it when I get back. In the meantime, I am leaving you with a picture from the Jubilee weekend that Mr Letters From Home <i>didn't </i>take, as unfortunately we don't own a world war two war plane,or in fact any other kind of plane, now I come to think of it!<i> </i></div>

This is a fantastic shot, taken from a Lancaster Bomber as it flew over London, showing Buckingham Palace and the long snake of hundreds of thousands of people filling the Mall on Tuesday afternoon. The dark circle in the middle is a solid body of hundreds of thousands of people. You can also see the London Eye in the background, which I've been on a few times.</div>

Mr Letters From Home and I took a very early train this morning and went to St. Paul's Cathedral in London, in plenty of time to see the Royal Family arrive for a service of thanksgiving for Her Majesty The Queen. <br />
<br />
We saw every member of the Royal Family, but a special thrill for me, which I will never forget, was seeing The Queen. Her car drove very slowly past the spot where I stood. Her Majesty actually made eye contact with me and gave me such a beautiful, beaming smile. Only a second or two in time, but at that point, time seemed to stand still.<br />
<br />
There will be pictures of the day to follow, when we get them uploaded.<br />
<br />
We also met some lovely TV presenters, including Susanna Reid from the BBC Breakfast News, and Nicky Campbell. The most surprising thing was that as we were leaving to go to the tube station, we found ourselves walking with Jenni Bond, royal reporter for Sky TV. Mr LFH whipped out his camera to take a photo of her, then she put an arm around my shoulder and suggested a picture of us both together, how kind was that! She was so lovely and friendly, and down to earth.<br />
<br />
Shortly after our exciting morning, we got on a train and visited our daughter, son-in-law and baby granddaughter Poppy, and spent a lovely day with them. We watched the rest of the royal proceedings on TV, whilst madly waving the flags I had kept from this morning, which of course Poppy loved!<br />
<br />
I'm off to bed now, as it's been a very long day.<br />
<br />
The more comments I receive, the more pictures of today I will publish tomorrow! Goodnight everybody.<br />

I have had a happy day watching the Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the Thames, from the comfort of my own home, with a lovely hot cup of redbush tea close at hand.<br />
<br />
I felt quite concerned for the Royal Family, standing on the Spirit of Chartwell for hours and hours in the pouring rain, but it was a wonderful spectacle. I love to see narrow boats, and they looked particularly splendid, bedecked with jolly bunting.<br />

Colour Analysis</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Last week, I had a colour analysis consultation, which was really interesting and fun. A friend of mine did this for me, she is very professional, I can warmly recommend her! I always thought I was a 'winter' type, so I tend to wear a lot of black/white/red/blue, but apparently I am a deep autumn, so I've been looking online to see what colours I should be wearing.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is my basic colour palette, so if I follow this, I should soon be looking like the lady above, hahaha, it's only a matter of wearing the right colours!</div>

I wonder whether they would like to buy Letters From Home too? I probably don't have quite as large a readership as Mr Lewis, so I would happily accept just a few million.

I have been reading a wonderful book on prayer called "God on Mute" by Pete Grieg. He has started an international chain of prayer rooms where people pray 24-7. You can find out all about his ministry <a href="http://www.24-7prayer.com/" target="_blank">here.</a> On the wall of one of the prayer rooms, someone once wrote this piece of prose called <b><i>"The Vision"</i></b>. I have been enjoying simply focussing on these words, which are deeply inspiring.<br />

If you are ever in York, I can highly recommend a trip to this unusual, fascinating pub, which is in Stonegate, in fact it is right opposite Softpots.<br />

The pub is a stone's throw from York Minster, and we could hear the Minster bells ringing as we ascended the creaky staircase. We could see the Minster from the windows.</div>

The pub is in an ancient building. One of the walls was built in 1180 ad. The beams sailed the seas as ship beams 800 years ago. </div>

There are many different drinks to choose from (although we only had diet Cokes, not very adventurous!) The food is sensational, as it is all locally sourced and produced. I had a pork pie, topped with Stilton. I haven't eaten a pork pie for years, but this was a special, meaty version. It was served with salad, and a beautiful Italian bread, which is baked daily in a tiny bakery in the Shambles, here.</div>

I am gradually getting used to the new Blogger layout. Why do things have to be constantly changed and updated?!</div>Jaynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08155163837966758643noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762776282401876979.post-25650278519061162412012-04-27T00:26:00.000-07:002012-04-27T00:26:47.797-07:00SoftpotsHere's a craft with a difference!<br />
<br />
There is a lovely lady called Annie who has a craft/gardening business in York called <a href="http://softpots.com/softpots/Community.html" target="_blank">Softpots.</a> I found her quite by accident late last year, one wintery evening, as we were walking through Stonegate. Her business is in a tiny little alleyway, sandwiched between other shops, and here I discovered a miniature wonderland of plants, fairy lights and sculpture. I was instantly hooked.<br />
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Doesn't this look so inviting? I had to find out more!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At the end of this alley, Annie was busy potting up plants in her own unique way - you will have to look at her <a href="http://softpots.com/softpots/Welcome.html" target="_blank">Website</a> to find out exactly what she does, and how she pots up her plants, it's a secret method!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was so intrigued, I bought a little booklet from her, explaining the process.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Fast forward a few months to last week and another trip to York. I decided I really wanted to have a 30-minute training session, to learn more about creating Softpots, so while the rest of the family went to look at nearby York Minster, I had my training session, and made my own softpot under Annie's tuition. Here is my finished work of art.</div>

I love this process, because I am not a gardener, although I do try, and so I have little rockeries in my front and back gardens, covered in blue slate, with lots of little pots of plants everywhere. I really like the idea of introducing a few softpots into the garden, to give it a different dimension, a different medium.</div>

Here is a little video, showing lots of the things you can make with softpots, I can't wait to make some more!</div>

I am loving every minute, and we will all miss him when he goes back.<br />

To relax, I have been watching more Heidi Baker videos on Youtube. This morning I have been watching this one called Riches of the Poor. God is doing amazing things in Mozambique.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and yesterday I attempted Mushroom Risottioni. It tasted very nice, but maybe wasn't too healthy, as there was a lot of creme fraiche in it, but we all enjoyed it nonetheless. If you want to see a picture of it and have the recipe, you can find it <a href="http://www.ledelicieux.com/2012/01/30/mushroom-risoniotto/">here.</a> You'll have to scroll down a bit. I doubled the ingredients to make enough for four people, which meant wiping 1kg of mushrooms!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Youngest son has been home for the holidays, and daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter Poppy came and spent a whole weekend here at Granny's house, how nice was that!<br />
<br />
Thank you for your patience while I've been away!<br />
<br />
So what have I been up to then?<br />
<br />
Well here are two cardigans that I have knitted for Poppy, sorry they seem to be the wrong way around!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Heidi baker is such an inspiration to me. She is a Canadian woman, married with 2 grown up children, they have been missionaries for over 30 years, mainly in Mozambique. They feed hundreds of thousands of homeless children every day and have planted thousands of churches. They also have a heart for England, and Heidi and her husband both have PhD degrees from King's College London. Go on Youtube or itunes and you will find a ton of Heidi Baker teaching. I am currently reading one of her books, </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

This afternoon we have enjoyed a chicken dinner, and a little rest watching an old episode of The Waltons. <br />

Youngest son will be home from university soon, and I need to prepare the fatted calf, and spend time with him and with all the family. Sometimes you really do need to put some things on hold while you concentrate on the most important things. I'm going to be doing plenty of this - spending time with family! This picture of my beautiful granddaughter Poppy and I was taken on Friday.<br />

<br />
In the interests of growing a few potatoes on the patio, I have been doing a little research. Now, I'm not thinking of self-sufficiency or anything like that, just a sack of home-grown charlotte potatoes would be great.<br />
<br />
But I am bombarded with potato-language like 'earlies' and 'second earlies' and 'maincrop' and 'chitting'. Is there a translation manual I could buy? Or could my lovely, knowledgeable readers help me out? I don't know how early and maincrop relate to a normal non-gardening calendar.<br />
<br />
I really don't intend for this blog to become a book blog. I want it to reflect everything that interests me, books, knitting, christianity, home, garden, everything, I don't want to specialise. However I have read a really good book this week...................<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox" height="400" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41bb9ng8hkL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA300_SH20_OU02_.jpg" width="400" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">It's a story about the bad old days of psychiatric hospitals, Esme Lennox is incarcerated into an institution at the age of 16, basically for being a bit odd, for not wanting to get married, and for not wanting to cut her hair. She ends up staying there for 60 years. The story starts with her release, and her first taste of freedom.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The ending was a bit predictable and disappointing all at the same time, but that didn't spoil the book.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I am now in the middle of a very intriguing book called The Roundabout Man by Clare Morrall....</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Product Details" height="400" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Vr1vgJwKL._SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp,TopRight,12,-18_SH30_OU02_AA160_.jpg" width="400" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">about a man who decides to break away from his past, in his sixties, and live in a caravan on a big traffic island. I've got a feeling someone really did that once, and died a few years ago. Maybe that was her inspiration. So far it is really good. And it is in English, not potato-ese!</div>Jaynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08155163837966758643noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762776282401876979.post-62243536636187115332012-02-26T11:55:00.000-08:002012-02-26T11:55:05.790-08:00Book TalkI have been reading a brilliant little book over the past few days, it was an early Mother's Day gift from my beautiful and generous daughter (who knows what her Mum likes!)<br />
<br />
It is called 'Stop What You're Doing and Read This!'<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Product Details" height="320" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41rB89d3FIL._AA160_.jpg" width="320" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It contains ten essays by writers such as Jeanette Winterson, Zadie Smith etc. <span style="background-color: white;">about the experience of reading, why access to books should never be taken for granted, how reading transforms our brains, and how literature can save lives. In any 24 hours there are so many demands on our time and attention - and we are encouraged to make books one of them.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Here is an extract from the essay by Jeanette Winterson, one of my all time favourite authors. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br />

I don't think of reading as leisure time or wasted time and especially not as downtime. The total time of a book is more like uptime than downtime, in the way that salmon seim upstream to get home.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br />

</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">How can a book get me home? It reminds me of where home is, by which I mean I am remapped by the book. My internal geography shifts, my values shift.

</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">I might quote a bit more from this book on another day, I love it so much. It reminds me why I need to read, and what reading does for us, how it changes us. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">There is also a very enlightening essay by Jane Davis of <a href="http://thereader.org.uk/jane-davis/">The Reader Organisation</a>. She initiates projects to get people reading aloud together. She says:</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br />

</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">I could go on and on, so I will restrain myself now and say buy the book, or better still, hope a loved one will treat you to it!</span></span></div>Jaynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08155163837966758643noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762776282401876979.post-21045883947517653922012-02-18T06:57:00.000-08:002012-02-18T06:57:07.244-08:00CarnageLast night, Mr LFH and I went to see <a href="http://www.warwickartscentre.co.uk/events/film/carnage-15">Carnage</a> at <a href="http://www.warwickartscentre.co.uk/">Warwick Arts Centre.</a> It was a really good film, starring Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet, directed by Roman Polanski. <br />
<br />
Here is a video trailer.................<br />

<br />
After the film, we went to the Mead Gallery, and saw a marvellous exhibition of modern art called <a href="http://www.warwickartscentre.co.uk/events/visual-arts/the-indiscipline-of-painting">The Indiscipline of Painting.</a> There was some brilliant art by Bridget Riley and Andy Warhol. My personal favourite was a huge canvas by John Armleder, full of glittery drips, very similar to this work of his.......<br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">The gallery holds a weekly knit, crochet and stitch group, and on one wall there were framed pieces of knitting that the group had created in response to the exhibition, like modern art in knitted form! Here is an example of their work..........................</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I found it very interesting, although it would be a bit too far for me to drive to every week.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Today, we are chilling out. A big casserole is bubbling happily away in the slow cooker for tonight - pork and white wine casserole, based on Jamie Oliver's casserole recipe in Ministry of Food. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I hope you are having a good weekend.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

It is every bit as wonderful as it looks, and the food was amazing, beautifully stacked little piles of delicious morsels, with three courses every evening, plus coffee and petit four, and a full English breakfast every morning. I'm really going to have to get back to regular walking every day to work off all that delicious food!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I've just had such a funny email from my sister, who is a champion knitter. She said: <span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">When asked, tell people you are working on your Phd this year. They will show you great respect and you can decide whether to admit it stands for 'Projects Half Done' in knitting parlance. Hahaha, I love that! My sister raises a LOT of money for Oxfam every year through her knitting, which is hugely popular.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"><br />

They might not fit for a while, but I will be seeing Poppy next Friday and want to give it to her then. I'll try and remember to take a photo of the finished work.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"><br />

I didn't have any lemons so I left them out, and I added some chopped apples and cinnamon and ginger, and I used Stork margarine instead of butter, and it was still gorgeous, this is my current favourite recipe. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBvrvDEYUqnFgwHdyRpoCev_skkvm-E10-m-eDTwkufKw8aZIPy5Tk7pySWgt0_EzeqKu_Ib8Z3HI2Awrb0pcj8tm0senDT74ZznU9GiIo1B9wt3zInEB43lIbLQKksUDXGzS5yj3cg2F8/s1600/IMG_1265.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBvrvDEYUqnFgwHdyRpoCev_skkvm-E10-m-eDTwkufKw8aZIPy5Tk7pySWgt0_EzeqKu_Ib8Z3HI2Awrb0pcj8tm0senDT74ZznU9GiIo1B9wt3zInEB43lIbLQKksUDXGzS5yj3cg2F8/s320/IMG_1265.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The other day I tried Braised chicken chasseur.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It is supposed to take 1 3/4 hours and serves four, but I like to use my slow cooker and let it simmer for a looooong time, and I always cook up a double amount to save time on another day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The ingredients stated in the book are:-</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4 chicken legs (I used 8 chicken breasts)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2 tbsp olive oil</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2 onions thickly sliced</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">250g/9 oz mushrooms</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1 tbsp tomato puree</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">300 ml/half pint white wine</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">400g can chicken connsomme, or stock (I used good old oxo cubes)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3-4 fresh tomatoes, quartered</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkqcKz0L46jP5i3YmfWgVrw9BSGX6Mo31pmJaHClq3MshjJ2HAvpbfQ4g-YafYh0PSWgMJ52TYX9DzUntwo_5jkRbZ38JGf0AXPKggxxe_gxiLTPtJ4CmcV3E9_Z1a9GkTy1JL2gOvDqUz/s1600/IMG_1262.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkqcKz0L46jP5i3YmfWgVrw9BSGX6Mo31pmJaHClq3MshjJ2HAvpbfQ4g-YafYh0PSWgMJ52TYX9DzUntwo_5jkRbZ38JGf0AXPKggxxe_gxiLTPtJ4CmcV3E9_Z1a9GkTy1JL2gOvDqUz/s320/IMG_1262.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This Tesco market value vegetable stir fry is one of my kitchen allies. It's fairly cheap, and I use it in heaps of things, sometimes I even use it in a stir-fry! On their own, I don't find frozen veg to be great, but the secret is to combine them with fresh veggies, and then you really cannot tell the difference between the fresh and the frozen veg.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">First I browned the chicken and popped it in the slow cooker.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfLtuCnk4awy896L-6ID8DkwsjfarlHCSzsGeb5Jfr-X-nYbNB-Iecho08Uqb52QqlIY9e4xSz9gzHSsghEzPmYWHlAXt2zvWTbRRRvAvL8GpY-y6ct9CL10QCQ9UtZbaadA43qadjJ5kY/s1600/IMG_1261.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfLtuCnk4awy896L-6ID8DkwsjfarlHCSzsGeb5Jfr-X-nYbNB-Iecho08Uqb52QqlIY9e4xSz9gzHSsghEzPmYWHlAXt2zvWTbRRRvAvL8GpY-y6ct9CL10QCQ9UtZbaadA43qadjJ5kY/s320/IMG_1261.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Next I browned the onions, along with the mushrooms and some dried apricots and sultanas I happened to have in the cupboard. I usually start off with a recipe as a guide, then I add whatever I fancy to make a concoction. I also added carrots because I had a few that needed to be used up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdFvhurMTJiTnLtK8miPSUrcKeqPaWE_SxKlWFsVG9Sga7IhWLhyphenhyphen_6Jt-12Ta_PxwgtOk4KlGoop1HGY1VTdGDs344-1RtzTViyxfZcHN5oKF1sAO_izO9VrveJg44AVtL0VTKPfbXe9EO/s1600/IMG_1260.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdFvhurMTJiTnLtK8miPSUrcKeqPaWE_SxKlWFsVG9Sga7IhWLhyphenhyphen_6Jt-12Ta_PxwgtOk4KlGoop1HGY1VTdGDs344-1RtzTViyxfZcHN5oKF1sAO_izO9VrveJg44AVtL0VTKPfbXe9EO/s320/IMG_1260.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Then it was all popped into the big 6.5 ltr slow cooker. Can you see his little brother alongside? He only cost £9 from Tesco's a few months ago, and it is so handy for smaller meals, soups, sides or desserts.</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB1NUllhGflU3OpOhYUMFsgDhjoHWxbxeJIeDq08S5ncQDjUao1mvxX9E10hJsr3tdbubYxgXP4T284110uI09NgicIrM2yWFbC2-kgnYqqm5ZHZJLTn4Efob01x2N2rG7iJGwiL6xQQ1j/s1600/IMG_1267.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB1NUllhGflU3OpOhYUMFsgDhjoHWxbxeJIeDq08S5ncQDjUao1mvxX9E10hJsr3tdbubYxgXP4T284110uI09NgicIrM2yWFbC2-kgnYqqm5ZHZJLTn4Efob01x2N2rG7iJGwiL6xQQ1j/s320/IMG_1267.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And here is the finished result, with the fresh tomatoes added a few minutes before serving. It was delicious!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2zVsh8qBiBB6L8ATHyYmEA-3XQsjXVU-IWh_74gFq-8P22kvTdzN_ZWA09SYDUfLlIb8nHlCRe1lUZIKR9OnIMjQYdrMmV9e4O39TWISVDFULDbE42PPniz4jFVC1AVTWYdhk-TAkFTBQ/s1600/IMG_1266.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2zVsh8qBiBB6L8ATHyYmEA-3XQsjXVU-IWh_74gFq-8P22kvTdzN_ZWA09SYDUfLlIb8nHlCRe1lUZIKR9OnIMjQYdrMmV9e4O39TWISVDFULDbE42PPniz4jFVC1AVTWYdhk-TAkFTBQ/s320/IMG_1266.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And here are some of my recipe books, I love to flick through them and plan meals, although I often make meals up as I go along too, especially at the end of the week, when I have an odd assortment of foodstuffs to use up!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
