SPRING WEATHER

The weather has been great this week.  A bit on the cold side first thing but lovely sunny days to follow.  This morning was no exception and, being Saturday, we went to the market first where we were pleased to find fresh scallops back for sale.  A packet ended up in our market bag along with some local cheese, rocket and watercress.  Not a lot needed today as we are still eating the vegetables we planted in autumn although we did buy an Echium, Pride of Madeira, plant and a punnet of lettuce seedlings. 

We then went down to the Town Basin for our walks.  Doug has a slow walk with Sophie while I have a faster walk.  

After doing our supermarket shop it was home for breakfast.  I then casseroled some lamb shoulder chops before cooking half the scallops for lunch.  The rest were frozen for another day as we already had a scotch fillet roast in the fridge.  The lamb casserole will be frozen in two person lots and the frozen scallops eaten when the beef is  finished.

Yesterday, I had my final check up for my eyes and will see the optician in about a month to check on my glasses.  All good.
