Under The Broadwalk

We have been to Florida lately namely Orlando we stayed at aDisney resort as part of this we had Disney dining meal plan. 

There are many levels of this but ours was middle plan which entitled us to one quick service meal, one snack, and one table service a day.

Don't ask me why but over the age of 9 children are seen as adults in the context of pricing for theme parks and food etc.

A quick service meal can be used at breakfast, lunch or dinner.

A table service can also be used at any time but is more lavish affair , exchange 2 table services meals each then it becomes an distinguished affair known as signature dining.

One evening after what seemed we had walked to the moon and back we went for our prearranged dinner at The Flying Fish . The location for this is situated at Disneys Broadwalk and when you are there you are transformed into a magical world with a sophisticated seaside feel.

  

Being here you are a world away from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks. Try your luck on the turn of the century style seaside fairground games.

Sometimes the best times can be had by just wandering around and soaking up the atmosphere of your surroundings.

If you feed the soul with sights and sounds then memories are enriched take pictures along the way then when you look back it's almost as if you were there.

Rounding off a delightful evening at    TheFlying  Fish an top notch fish restaurant though if you wish you can have steak as my son did. I resisted the urge to Instagram the main course but o couldn't stop myself when it came to dessert.

Awwh I wish I was back holidays are so carefree ..

I live to love

'I live to love don't you' ? Whether it is my family or a simple walk I think I  'live to love'. And with love comes appreciation of the simple things in life, you don’t always have to thrashing at life at full pace. Sometimes it's good to take stock of your life and ‘live to love’.

And with many children starting school watching them go it’s the hardest thing that perhaps that’ll you ll ever feel.  But as a parent loving them you give them empathy to ‘live to love’. For when you ‘love to live’ the world has a tranquil balance.

And when my son goes on the door I know that each little step he makes is one step nearer to the day , that invertible day he will go to university. I know that one day there will be one less key turn of the door, one less ceremonially plonking of his drinks bottle on the kitchen surface requiring filling.

I know that I will have given my son the feeling of ‘ I love to live’ and then he will be on the next step of his journey which will be ‘live to love’

Simple things

Does a quality post always have to be so many words. Can't the simple things in life just talk for themselves for once, and the simplest of things can be a village walk , it can be a raindrop on your cheek, a cup of tea, family warmth. Not wishing this to sound like the song "a few of my favourite things " but the simple things in life to me 

are this ....

Mighty Walkers Lights Packing A Lunchtime Punch

It is hard not to accept the opportunity to review crisps despite me and my family watching what we eat . We do stil need the occasional treat after all life is very dull with such luxuries!  We are always careful balance what we eat and make sure we have lots of exercise. Walkers have yet again brought out a new range of crisps aimed at a young market with a cheerful character on the packet.

While some do not like the thought of including a packet of crisps with their child's pack lunch , who says that you have to give them a whole packet a day. You could spread it out depending on the each of the child over say two or three days, making sure you seal the packet with the remaining crisps afterwards. Though having said that you might be tempted to nibble on them your selves just before you embark on tidying the house up after getting back from the school run  or perhaps at work etc.

There are many social situations that crisp bring people together from pack lunches, to family occasions, picnics, cinema trips, walks, beach days to fun filled filled days to just chilling days. 

New Walkers lights are ridged crisps that have 30 % less fat in them with no artificial colours or preservatives. There is a choice of three flavours and these are Cheese and Onion, Lightly Salted and Roast Chicken. All of the flavours are suitable for vegetarians to eat but they are not gluten free, not of the crisps contain nuts or sesame seeds and Walkers do not handle nuts or sesame seeds in their factories either.

We had our crisps with a salted peach salad which you can read about here, I have reviewed Walkers crisps before which you can read about here. But why just have your crisps whole why not add those little bits you always get at the bottom of packets to some cheese with you are cooking Shepherds Pie. Just make sure you crush them up before adding them to the cheese.

Or you could use them in topping on a nice piece of fish , what you do with them very much depends or your flavour of the crisps that you have to work with . You could go all retro and have them in a crisp sandwich the champion of all sandwiches.

Where can you buy Walkers Mighty Lights from I hear you cry ? Why from any good supermarket !
