Papa Johns For A Night in Treat

Sometimes it is nice to threat yourself and with Papa Johns you can do that and it is prefect for a movie night at home or family get together , I know we will be all having a pizza when my son is home from university. I think that my son and his flat mates have tried themselves to a pizza on the odd occasion.


Papa Johns has launched 'Papa's Deep Crust' . Paps's Deep Crust is almost double the depth of a regular Papa John's pizza and is coked in a specially designed pan, using an extra cup of cheese compared to other Pap John's Pizzas.It also features a specially designed tomato sauce.An even tattier treat ; it's now on offer until 26th November 2017 priced from £10.99 from Papa John's outlets nationwide.

As part of this launch of "Papa Deep Crust, Papa John's delivered its brand new deep crust pizza to the deepest part of the London network (Hampstead at 58.5m 192 ft) as part of a unique platform dining experience.The usual comfortable benches were swapped for cosy seating and home comforts to give a taste of a perfect Papa John's night in as diners tucked into deliciously light and fluffy 'Papa Deep Crust '







Papa John’s prides itself on using fresh ingredients, ensuring the use of fresh never frozen dough.  The specially formulated recipe features a buttery, seared crust for a fuller flavour and a light and fluffy deeper dough, almost double the depth of regular Papa John’s pizzas cooked in a specially designed pan, to offer an even more indulgent taste than before.
 
A new recipe tomato sauce has also been created, using Californian vine-ripened tomatoes which go from field to can in six hours. Added to this is a blend of signature spices and extra virgin olive oil which are then reduced to create a richer tasting sauce, complementing the new thicker base perfectly. Every ‘Papa’s Deep Crust’ pizza uses an extra cup of cheese, which is spread all the way to the edge of the dough to create a caramelised, crispy cheese crust. Each pizza is then completed with all the favourite pizza toppings, including fresh “store cut” vegetables.



Disclosure Thank you to Papa Johns who sent me one of their delicious pizzas.

Upon the Autumn dark I stumble

Parcel laden and shopping pensive 

Computers down running on XP

Upon the Autumn dark I stumble 

Still parcel laden and shopping pensive 

4 tins of beans my what a shopping spree 

Upon the Autumn dark I stumble 

All warm and welcoming just for me

Where I stand ~ Autumn

I really don't think of myself as brave when I go out adventuring , I will adventure anywhere but I do love particularly being outdoors where there is a distinct lack of people so my mind can relax.I recently took a walk down a ancient monastery route alas the monastery is no longer there but a skeleton of a priest was found some years ago in a farm house. I am most fortunate to live near many villages and I do love walking I could do with a nice pair of waking boots with ankle support and some of those walking poles. Is there a walking equipment fairy I do hope so as I really would like these items and a nice new shiny camera ones that's portable as I like to constantly take pictures with my minds eye I have  particular eye and see many a thing other people don't see or choose not to see * who knows.


The area round here is farms and rolling fields and we fall within the art of the National Forest which is the largest tree replantation in England and covers a woodland across 3 counties.






That little wander can lead you to stunning scenery and the wonders of Autumnal colours.




And the scenary I came upon in the National Forest I thought I just might come across Frodo Baggins and Gandalf. It really is that magical here and the thing is with scenary each day is different and it is really something I embrace and going back to the same place again is never dull.



You don’t need a lot to get walking you really just need a sense of adventure and to dress accordingly hence why I’d like a new pair of walking boots.

Betwixt the ground and the sky that's where you find me seeking out life and adventure ~ here is hoping you find adventure too.

Whacky Outdoor Games Ideal Fun For Adults

As a nation we are quite barmy from queuing to drinking tea on the hour and of course we enjoy crazy games from the pictures I have seen from my sons university Freshers week he has been partaking in some crazy games .One of the crazy things he took part in in York was a Viking raid awwwh what it is to be young footloose and fancy free though I think the Freshers week is just wearing off for him.

And playing whacky games is an ideal way to let off steam and I think this would be ideal for my sons university rugby team and his rugby team here in Derby. I have seen some crazy rugby tours and  the costumes are utterly hilarious you know the  sort where it looks like you're riding a horse or a bear is carrying you !




Playing whacky outdoor games is an Ideal way to let off steam! 

The Welsh games would be ideal for the rugby team with 9 welsh themed games  which will have you splitting your sides involving of course dragons ,rugby and course sheep, hours of inflatable fun for all. And something I wish I had had when it was my hen party 20 years ago was perhaps something more adventurous like perhaps a Bristol hen weekend with plenty of Bristol activities  ?! Perhaps you could have a joint stag and hen party whacky outdoor games competition ?!



Any as my sons rugby team go on tour this would be an ideal collaboration behind the 2 clubs in order to share the cost and cement firm rugby friendships. And I think they are looking at Cardiff activities for their next rugby tour idea and I think they will be looking at this.



There is also a West Country games  theme and everyone knows what the West Country is famous for cider so indeed the games involved cider, mangold dangling and it wouldn't be the West Country if farm animals weren't involved.

You could have a go at zorbing as well well why let hamster just have all the fun and if you want to go for the true washing machine experience then try Aqua zorbing which is sorbing with water involved * no hamster are involved in any of these activities !


Joining in games is a way of life

Have you noticed when you are on holiday the rep is always trying to get you to join in with the games that they offer and how ever much you try and avoid it at times you do end up taking part with fully or just for the people watching value. We did this when we went to Spain one year and were watching the French and German get competitive in a quiz at the car and it was hilarious. We love people making a fool of them in a same controlled manor of course you 'll have seen those shows on TV where you can earn a bit of money for sending in a video of your other half falling of a chair ( I really wish I had filmed my other half falling off a chair )


Indoor Games don't have to be boring.

Indoor games don't have to be boring and have everyone moaning when the battered box of Monopoly comes out for the umpteenth time and everyone is rolling their eyes. Somewhere deep in the Welsh mountains I believe you can go jump on trampoline nets ( well it's indoors albeit in a mountain!) Luckily Welsh Games and West Country Games takes their games inside for the winter weather.

This is a Collaboration post
