Thursday, first snow of the season.

I got up at 5.40 put on a load of washing and had my breakfast. I packed 2 pate’ sandwiches with gherkins and a bottle of water for my lunch, made bed, sorted my bag etc and went to work. The boss said I could leave my bag in the shed and Andy would bring me down at coffee break and for lunch, he said I might be too cold sitting in the field today!! It was truly freezing. First we had to pick and bunch 144 bunches of carrots and 12 purple ones. We took them down, laid them all out then washed and packed them. We had our break and then I walked back and I picked  one and a half sacks of sprouts and 3 boxes of leeks. It was so muddy and I struggled to walk, every step I took my feet got stuck in the mud. Andy had been harvesting kale so after I had eaten my lunch I washed and  packed my leeks and his kale. He and I then went back up the field again, I walked behind the tractor to keep my feet warm. We had to do 4 boxes of parsnips, 4 boxes of loose carrots, 10 more bunches of carrots, 4 boxes of leeks and 24 pieces of celeriac. It took us till 3.20 when we went down and washed it all and there was just time for us to pack it all up before I left off. When I got home I was chilled right through but my cup of tea and soak in the bath soon warmed me up. For dinner tonight we had jacket potatoes, fish in garlic and herb sauce, and baked beans. I am so pleased I don’t have to go again tomorrow, I am off till Monday.

Wednesday.

I got up at 6.30and had porridge for breakfast with a cup of tea, I also on a load of washing. We had a coffee and I did all my ironing up to date and then dusted the dining room and lounge. I brought my Christmas cards down so I can begin writing them. It was a really awful day so just after 9am I had a bike ride on H’s turbo. I rode for an hour and a half and did 23 miles. It was hard work 😓 but I am pleased I did it. As soon as I was done H ran me a bath and when I went downstairs a pot noodle and a cup of coffee were waiting for me. As soon as I had done we got ready to go to the hospital to see Philip. Because he has been laying in bed for so long he has lost so much of his leg muscles and is very weak. He seems cheerful enough but I think he is too weak to go home. When we left the hospital we came straight home and had the other half of the bottle of wine we opened yesterday. I wrote some of my Christmas cards and then cooked dinner. It was delicious, we had sausages, bacon,tomatoes, mushrooms, fried potatoes and eggs. H had a yogurt and a mince pie for pud and I had an apple.

Tuesday

I got up at 6.35 and had my breakfast. When H came down he made us a coffee and I went into the garden to do a bit of weeding but it was pretty cold so I wasn’t out there long. H went up to turbo so as I needed some exercise I decided to go for a walk, I walked 3 and a bit miles and it was very nice. The sun was out all the time and there was hardly any wind. When I got home H had finished his ride so I made cheese and tomato sandwiches while H made the coffee. This afternoon we had to pop out in the car 🚘 and on our way home we called in to see our daughter as we were passing, she was just home from work. We had a lovely cup of tea and a mince pie with squirty cream. Macy ( their dog) was excited to see everyone. When we left she was going for a nice walk.  As soon as we got home we had a shower and a glass of wine then I cooked dinner, fish pie with peas and mushrooms. H had hot bananas in maple syrup with squirty cream on top for pud and I had an apple.

Monday

I got up at 5.30, put on a load of washing and had my breakfast. I packed myself 2 chicken and mayo sandwiches and a bottle of water, daessed etc and got ready to go to work. It poured with rain in the night and was still raining when I left home. All the rain had made the field really muddy, I had to trim leeks and it was a right muddy mess. I sat in the field for my morning break, on an upturned box but Andy took me down to have my lunch. We washed everything we had both done up to date. I packed all the leeks and then Andy and I went back to the leeks for 3 more boxes, on to swedes for 5 boxes and when they were done we picked and trimmed 2 boxes of turnips. It was then 3.30 so we just had time to wash and packit all and it was my home time. When I got home I had a cup of tea and a bath to warm me up, then I cooked dinner. We had yesterday’s left over chicken with potatoes and peas. I now have 2 days of before I have to go again.

Sunday

I got up at 5.30 and so did H. We had our breakfast and a coffee. I then knitted while H washed up and wiped all the work tops down. He then went upstairs to the pain cave for a race on Zwift. I sew up his jumper that I have knitted and it took me 2 hours!! I hate the sewing up bit. I emptied the dishwasher and put it all away and when H had finished his ride he had a bath and I made him a coffee and a corned beef sandwich. He tried his jumper on and it looks nice. As soon as we had finished our lunch we got ready to go to the hospital to visit H’s brother Philip again. He seems a bit more comfortable today and was eating his lunch when we arrived, he also stayed awake the whole time we were there. Hopefully they are beginning to get control of his infections. When we got home I put the chicken in the oven and prepared the vegetables, had a shower and made a pot of tea. Dinner was nice, roast chicken and roast potatoes, sprouts,carrots, cauliflower and mashed potato and gravy. I have to work tomorrow so I hope it’s not too cold.

Saturday.

H woke me up at 6.20, I put on a load of washing and had my breakfast. As soon as we were done we got ready and went shopping. I went to Asda, M&S and Tesco this morning!!! We unpacked and put everything away,had a coffee and a jam and cream do nut and I hung out the washing. Then I started knitting again, sat and did it most of the day and finished H’s jumper. I have now got to sew it all up, the bit I hate. I used to knit loades and my mum used to sew them all up for me. Now I knit less because I dread finishing them off. It will probably take me all day. We had cheese and biscuits for lunch and for dinner tonight we are having duck in port and orange sauce, garlic mushrooms, potatoes and sprouts. Apple pie and ice cream for pudding. It’s been pretty cold today.

Black Friday

I got up at 5.30, had tea and toast for my breakfast, did a bit of knitting, made the bed then dressed ready to go round to our daughters so we could to to the City to shop till we dropped on Black Friday. We have been on this day for the last 2 years and it gives us a good start on our Christmas shopping. As soon as we arrived we had a festive hot chocolate drink and a mince pie. Then we began our shopping, I walked 3.2 miles which isn’t as far as we usually do but my feet were sore by the time we had finished. We went to Middletons  for our lunch and our granddaughter joined us, it was a very enjoyable meal. I had pattywith chutney and sourdough bread for starters, steak with a field mushroom, tomato and fries, and Eaton mess for dessert. After this we carried on shopping. When we got back to daughters we had a very welcome cup of tea and took our boots off.! I waited till my second granddaughter got home from school so I could see her then I drove home. As soon as I arrived, H poured the wine and I sat with my feet up. We had a bath and a cup of tea then I cooked dinner, pizza and salad. I have had a really nice day and hope to be able to do it again next year.

It was lovely, wall to wall sunshine but pretty cold which didn’t matter because we were well wrapped up.H rode upstairs. When we got back I just washed my hands and sorted lunch. H had a bacon sandwich and son and I had salad. I only had a small one because this afternoon H and I went to the hospital again to see H’s brother. He had fallen over again so we asked if he could have a Zimmer frame to help him with his balance it’s the third time he has fallen in 2 weeks, twice in hospital. However he was looking better today and stayed awake the whole time we were there. As soon as we got home I started dinner. We had roast pheasant and chicken with mashed and roast potatoes, roast sweet potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli 🥦, and gravy. Pineapple for pudding.

As soon as we were home H made us coffees while I unpacked and put everything away. Then I hung out the washing. I sat and knitted till son came down and we sat and chatted while he was having his breakfast, H was on his turbo trainer. Our son then went to the climbing centre in Fifers Lane and I did a bit of clearing up. After that I prepared some vegetables so we could have soup for lunch. When son came back I turned the soup maker on and it was done by the time he had showered. We had a mince pie for pud. As soon as we were all done son and I drove to Heydon and went for a lovely walk through the estate. We walked for an hour and a half and it was beginning to get dark by the time we got back to the car. As soon as I was home I had a bath, a cup of tea, a glass of wine and then prepared dinner. We had gammon, chips, chestnut mushrooms and peas, pineapple for pudding.

At 9.30 we drove to our butchers (Clarke’s of Hevingham) with my Christmas order. I bought sausage rolls for lunch and 3 gammon steaks for tomorrow’s dinner,(no2 son is coming home tonight) they are absolutely enormous!! I also bought bacon. After that we went to collect our Christmas present to each other from the shop. While I was out I bought 3 cake baking tins for when I make my granddaughter ‘s wedding cake. The tins cost more than our wedding cake did!! When we got back home we unpacked our present and it’s great, we both like it. As soon as we had done that we had our sausage rolls and then I had to go to the hairdressers for a colour and cut, now you can’t see the join. Because of all the rushing about this morning I forgot to get any meat out of the freezer so we just had eggs and beans on toast, H had his poached and I had mine fried, we had rice pudding for dessert. We are shopping in the morning, I expect we will be home again before our son gets up.

When I got there my boss was back from France. He said it was really cold there. He gave me a list of things I had to do. 156 bunches of carrots, 30 bunches of purple carrots and then leeks. I trimmed 4 boxes and then I had to pick a huge sack of sprouts before doing more leeks. I did another 6 boxes when the men came and got me to help pick 3 boxes of loose carrots, 2 boxes of swedes, and 35 pieces of celeriac. By the time we had done all that it was 3.30. We washed everything and before we had finished packing it all it was time for me to go home. Because I was so busy the day flew by. When I got home i🏡 had a cup of tea and a bath , I washed my hair, then I cooked dinner. We had smoked cod in garlic and mustard sauce with potato wedges, broccoli and peas.

Wednesday.

I was up at 6.30 and just sat and knitted till H came down then we had our breakfast and a coffee. I put on a load of washing and made the bed. At 8 o’clock
H got a phone call saying the hospital had rung her to say their brother Phil was very poorly and we can visit any time of the day or night, so that’s not good. His sister was in such a state and said she was not fit to drive so we arranged to pick her up, we were going this afternoon anyway so we just went a bit earlier. When we arrived their other brother was waiting on the car park for us and we all went in together. Philip was asleep when we arrived, we spoke to the nurse and she said he has an infection so they can’t get on with his small operation until that’s cleared up. His blood pressure is very low and when we left they were about to give him a blood transfusion. We only had a coffee and a mince pie for lunch. When we got home we had a cup of tea, a shower and watched tipping point, I knitted. For dinner tonight we had chicken, potatoes, broccoli and a couple of eggs. I haven’t been out on my bike since Saturday and that was only a short ride. I have to work tomorrow and on Friday I have to go to the hairdressers.

I  didn’t get up till 7*20, H was up and had made the tea and sliced off the bread for my toast. We had our breakfast and then a coffee. I knitted for an hour and then H said we would go out and look at what we are getting each other for our Christmas present. First we went to an electrical shop and bought some new bulbs for our lounge fittings and my standard lamp. After that we went for a coffee and a toasted tea cake. We had to try out the new stretch of road that goes to Norwich airport on the way to look at our present. We were only going to look 👀 but ended up getting it, it’s lovely, should be delivered next week and we can’t wait. I am not saying what it is because my family read this. I was going to make soup for lunch but on the way home I bought 2 cans of tomato soup and some crisps. I knitted all afternoon, had a shower, opened a bottle of wine and made a great spaghetti bolognese for dinner. While we were out I also bought my first Christmas present, it would have been my second but I haven’t given H my half of our present yet.

We needed a loaf of bread but H had to make it because I had to get ready to go to work. I had to do 36 bunches of carrots and then trim leeks till coffee break. We washed and packed them and I went backup the field for 10 corn on the cob and a box of parsnips. It was back on leeks till lunch. After lunch we washed all the things we had and I went back on leeks for the rest of the afternoon just leaving time to wash and pack up again. It was a horrible day, cold wet and windy with mud everywhere. When I was walking out of the garage I caught my foot on a pallet board and fell over! I Hurt both my knees and they still aren’t better from when I fell off my bike! Both the men were there and saw me so it was embarrassing as well as painful. When I got home I had a cup of tea and a mince pie,then a bath. For dinner we had pizza, grilled tomatoes, leek and crispy kale. I am now off till Thursday.

I hung out the washing, made a loaf of bread, hung out the washing and emptied the dishwasher. Then I sat down to do a bit of my knitting. I am knitting H a jumper and it’s slow going. However I persevered and today I have knitted all day long and managed to finish 250 of the 700 grams of wool. I finished the back and almost one sleeve, my fingers ache! I was happily knitting away when H came in and told me it was pouring with rain. My washing was soaking wet so I left it out there ! We had a cheese and beetroot sandwich for lunch with a cup of soup, H did it all because he wanted me to carry on knitting. For dinner we had pork with potatoes, carrots, corn on the cob and cauliflower. We had a shower and a glass of wine and watched a film ( Jack the giant killer) it was quite entertaining so I watched and knitted. It’s work for me tomorrow.

When we got back I unpacked and put everything away while H made the coffees. After that he went up to the pain cave for a static ride. I hung out the washing and then changed into my cycle gear so I could bike to my butchers to pick up a Christmas order list. I also bought a few things but not much as I don’t like wearing a heavy backpack when I am riding. I went the long way there and the short way back.(18 miles) . When I got back H had finished his ride, 46 miles av 24*1 mph. We had a shower and I washed my hair then we had lunch, pork pie for H pork and Stilton pie for me, mince pies with squirty cream and a mug of coffee. I knitted all afternoon and have now knitted 14 inches of the back of H’s jumper. I am not doing any more tonight because I have arm ache. For dinner tonight we had Cornish pasties, fried leek, mushrooms and curly kale.  My washing is dry again which is great. H says he is going to ride his bike upstairs again tomorrow so I might go out on my own again but if it’s too cold I might just knit. It’s alrea down to 4 degrees.

Friday. c

I got up at 6*30 and put on a load of washing. We had our breakfast and then a coffee. I hung my washing out and then sat and knitted while H washed up and tidied the kitchen. 😊 later I made the bed, did a bit of dusting and then we got ready to go out on our bikes. We only had a short ride (16 miles) because we had to go, first to our daughters because it is her wedding anniversary (17 years) so we took them a bottle of bubbly. Then it was on to the hospital to visit H’s brother who has been in there since last Friday when he collapsed outside his bowls club. While we were there his consultant came to tell him the results of his scan and what they are going to do for him. He will have 2 separate operations next week, the first one being on Monday. We stayed till the tea trolley came in then we left to let him get on with his meal. We will go again next week. When we left the hospital we went to the chip shop. It was packed and I was queuing outside the door. I bought 2large cod and 1 portion of chips, a bread roll and 2 cans of shandy. They were still nice and hot when we got home. I had hoped I was going to do a nice long ride tomorrow but I have just seen a weather forecast and it looks as if it will be pouring with rain.

Thursday.

I  got up at 5*40, made a pot of tea and had my breakfast. I had made my salad yesterday so I sat and watched a bit of tv before getting ready to go to work. My boss is in France for a week so Andy had to give us our instructions, my first job was 18 bunches of purple carrots and 72 bunches of orange ones. After that I got half a box of loose beetroot and we went down to wash and pack it and load the van with the first orders for Andrew to deliver. When he left we went back for 4 boxes of loose carrots and a box of parsnips. After we had washed and packed them I picked tomatoes till lunch time. After lunch I had to pick the first sprouts of the season. They are lovely sprouts, really clean and tight but , my goodness they are tight on the stalk and my thumbs ache from pushing them off the plant. After that it was 2 boxes of sprouting broccoli, 3 boxes of swedes, 1 box of celeriac and a box of fennel. We washed everything, sorted the orders etc and it was time for me to go home.

It was raining so I didn’t hang out the washing. I finished the headband I was knitting and started a new one. H said he wants me to knit him a jumper so I said ok. At 10*30 he went for his Spanish lesson, he went in the car as it was drizzling. When he left I cleaned the kitchen floor and did a bit of dusting before carrying on with my knitting. When H came home he said ‘ get your coat on and we will go to get the wool for my jumper’!!! I didn’t know I was going to have to knit it right away!! Anyway we bought some wool, a pattern and 2 pairs of needles. Then we went to a little cafe for a coffee and cheese on toast. When we got home H wanted me to start his jumper so I have but it’s hard work, the pattern is Irish moss stitch so every row is one knit one purl.  For dinner we had sausages, chips, mushrooms and eggs with stewed apple and ice cream for dessert. Unfortunately I have to go to work tomorrow.

Tuesday

We both got up at 7am and I put on a load of washing and the kettle then we had our breakfast. H made us a coffee while I hung out the washing. After coffee I made the bed and we changed into our cycle gear ready to go for a bike ride. It was pretty windy so we went along the track. It was nice, 23 miles. When we came  back I got my washing in while H hosed the bikes down. Then I fried some bacon for our lunch sandwiches and made us each a cup of coffee. Later we had a glass of wine and a rock cake. Tonight we are having fagots and peas for dinner with new potatoes and gravy with stewed apple and custard for pudding. My sister in law just rang to tell me that H’s brother, who is in hospital and has been very ill, is much better today. He was sitting out of bed playing dominoes. Thank goodness 😅.  H has just ran me a bath and I don’t want it to get cold but before I go up to use it I am going to put the bikes away.

Monday.

I got up at 6, put on a load of washing and had my breakfast. I had packed my salad the night before so I made the bed, dressed and got ready to go to work. I was sent straight on leeks and and trimmed them till 12*15 when Andy came to take them and me down. We had our lunch then washed and packed them,( I had done 13 boxes ) we were sent back up the field to do some more . The boss just said go back up and get a load. There was no count. We went down at 3*30 to wash and pack them and got told off for doing too many. I think he should have said how many he wanted we aren’t mind readers. when they were washed it was time for me to go home. My boss is off to France on Wednesday and as I am not working again till Thursday I won’t see him for over a week. When I got home I had a cup of tea and then a bath before cooking dinner. We had leftover chicken with mashed potato, cauliflower, carrots and peas. Pineapple for pudding. Our son went back to London this afternoon so it’s very quiet here this evening. I now have 2 days off to look forward to but the forecast is for rain tomorrow.

Sunday.

It was a much better day today, nice and sunny right from the start. I have been very lazy and not blogged since Thursday. I had a nice day Friday,I went for a bike ride with my son which was quite hard but I didn’t let him get away. In the evening we went out for a meal with all the rest of our family and had a great evening. The food was delicious and the company was even better. Yesterday I didn’t do anything much, son is trying to sort out my sewing machine, because he wants some curtains shortened. All the sewing machine instructions are on a video tape and we don’t have a player anymore. He and I went out and bought a new needle for the machine and he found the instructions on line, he has printed them all out for me. Today I got my washing dry, we had salad for lunch and then went to Cley for a walk along the beach to blow away the cobwebs. When we finished walking we went to the cafe for a coffee and a slice of cake. As soon as we were home I cooked dinner which was chicken, sausages, mashed and roast potatoes, roast sweet potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli,carrots and gravy. It was nice. We had pineapple for dessert. H opened a bottle of wine and we are going to watch a film. He has also made a huge bowl of popcorn 🍿 it’s delicious.

Thursday.

I got up at 5*30, had my breakfast, sorted my work bag, made the bed and had time to clean the downstairs cloakroom, wash the floor etc, then got ready to go to work. When I arrived the boss said nobody wants anything much and gave me a list which said, 48 bunches of carrots, 22 bunches of purple carrots, 5 boxes of leeks then weeding. As I am still pretty uncomfortable with all my bruising I asked if, when I had finished the harvesting I could go home. He said yes. I did get another message later asking for 4 boxes of loose carrots. I only ate a little of my salad at coffee break so I finished it when I got home.( I left off at 12*45. ) when I got back I had a lovely surprise, H had done all my clearing up for me, cleaned the bathroom and even polished all our brass door handles. ( He has put his back out ) no2 son arrived home at 4*45so I cooked dinner. We had sirloin steak, peas and chips. I am doing my weekly shop in the morning instead of Saturday.

Wednesday. 1st November ch

This morning I knitted till H came down and we had our breakfast, I did a load of washing and hung it out while H was making us a coffee. I made the bed after I was dressed and then made H some rock cakes which was what he asked for. When they were done I went to the chicken farm for eggs, then to the garden centre because my daughter wanted some white pansies. I bought myself a pack of Christmas cards, 2 white ceramic plant pot holders and an indoor plant. They have all their Christmas decorations and trees out and I spent ages looking round. When I got home we had out lunch, French stick with cheese and ham. This afternoon H had a Spanish lesson so after I had washed the kitchen floor I spent the rest of the time knitting . I really wanted to finish it but I ran out of time. For dinner we had chicken strips in breadcrumbs, potato wedges, baked beans and garlic bread. We had a glass of wine and a cup of tea later. I have to work again tomorrow and when I get home no2son should be here, he’s coming for the weekend.
