Sticky Noodles With Beef

It's the Easter holidays and obviously the teen is here studying and carrying out Viking style rais upon the fridge , when it goes to recipe inventing I'm pretty much no nonsense .

Review Of Me

I was offered a really special opportunity and I thought there's no way I could turn it down , it didn't require any key words , any links ( no follow) . No need to photograph anything in a special soft focus light with coffee beans scattered in random manner complete with home brewed coffee with the spoon just out of focus nestling in the brown sugar.

I can reveal I'm reviewing me 

Bobble hatted , country living , bicycling , history , archaeology , cat loving , tea brewing me 

I can be down through depression but lately I'm seeing the joy in things .

Life is like wifi sometimes we just need to make the right connections .

So I'll continue to reach out but I'm reaching out to like minded people more than than those treating me like their pet project .

Review model is avaiale through email on the about me page not for sale but available in all matter blogging.

This review is of course on going and further updates with ensue.

Disclosure I was provided with myself to review , I wasn't told what to write and I can come down from my Easter sugar high anytime I choose .

Spring Here It Is

Everyone Wants To Be A Cat

Everyone wants to be a cat ...


I suspect by now you are humming that well know tune from the Atristocats !



Cats do have a luxurious life , they are mini dictators / royalty wrapped up in a fluffy outer coating and I love them and I know many people love cats do.



Cats are therapy on legs , they make us laugh they make us cross , they make us smile and every other emotion you can think of. Hilarity is your cat making a hiss like a phantomine villain or watching them hunt a pile of grass / flower on your lawn.

Funny is the cat who isn't ready for the Monday morning grind and just flops back to bed which usually isn't their own.

I find my cats know when I need them and sometimes when I do they don't want to know but a rustle of the treat packet soon sorts that situation !!

Cats are aloof just like people sometimes think I'm 99 % cat 

Bills Restaurant Nottingham

Bill's Restaurant Nottingham

Last Sunday after my son had been to his Holocaust orientation seminar having been to Aushwitz the other week , we decided to take him out to dinner . A few months previously I had won a voucher for Bills restaurant for £200 which I know is amazing and I was waiting for an opportunity to use it . We've all had a tough time as a family recently and in the past do we really want to put stuff behind us and create forever memories. There are many excellent Bill's restaurants round the country and when we are in London next we will be visiting Bills again.
