Wednesday.

H came in at 6 this morning to wake me up! I aws sound asleep 💤. I had my breakfast, packed my lunch, dressed etc and got ready to go to work. I had to pick all the tomatoes first. They are little sun gold tomatoes. I picked 7 boxes each with around 300 tomatoes in. When I had done it was 9.43 so I had to pick a few bunches of spring onions till it was 10 o’clock. (22bunches). After break I helped Andy to wash and pack beetroot and carrots the had done earlier, then we went Bach up the field where I picked 50 bunches of radishes and helped Andy on beetroot till hometime. When I got home H made me a cup of coffee and we had pilchards and beetroot for lunch. I sat in the sun for an hour and then the sun went in so I gardened for an hour. We had liver casserole again for dinner because I made such a big one yesterday there was loads left over. I had a bath and the water turned green because of the way my arms had been brushing against the tomato plants so then I had to rinse off in the shower! I have to work again tomorrow.

Tuesday.

I got up at 6.30 and put on a load of washing. I had my usual breakfast and hung out the washing. H made us a coffee and did a bit of his Spanish homework so I sat and read my book. At 9.30 we got ready to go out on our bikes. H wasn’t too keen to go so we only did 17.8 miles and really slowly. As soon as we got home we washed and changed and went to the old rectory to confirm my booking for my early birthday lunch. It is now all booked and the deposit paid so I can sort out my invitations. As soon as we were back from there we had cheese on toast for lunch with a coffee. I got the washing in all nice and dry yet again. For dinner we had liver and mushroom casserole with peas and mashed potatoes. I have to work again tomorrow and the boss said we might be starting leeks. Trimming leeks is one of my favourite jobs.

Monday.

I got up at 5.30 and had my breakfast, egg and courgette with a mug of tea. I packed my lunch, a slice of cheese and a tomato with a bottle of water. I dressed, made the bed and got ready to go to work. I had to pick one box of tomatoes, 27 bunches of radishes, 20 bunches of beetroot, 48 bunches of carrots and 10 bunches of spring onions. After that I carried on with the weeding. 10 minutes before it was time for me  to leave off it poured with rain! I was soaked in minutes I was annoyed, it could have waited a little longer! When I got home H hadn’t had a drop!
Yesterday I made the first tier of my granddaughters wedding cake, it’s enormous! I put it in the oven at 8.30 and it was finally cooked at 4.25. Yesterday I had toast for breakfast, a sausage sandwich for lunch and Cornish pastie with cauliflower, carrots and new potatoes for dinner. We had a glass of wine 🍷 and we finished the bottle this afternoon. Lunch today was corned beef ,H had his in a sandwich but I had just the meat. I had a bath and for dinner tonight we both had a huge bowl of spaghetti bolognese. I haven’t got to work again till Wednesday so I hope tomorrow will be sunny.

Saturday

I got up at 6.30 after a good nights sleep. I put on a load of washing and had eggs for breakfast. I hung the washing out when it was done. Today H was expecting a parcel, I was going out for a short ride but had to wait for the postman first. H went up at 9am to ride a 100k bike race and as I was having to hang about till he finished! It took him over 3 hours so I decided to make the first tier of the wedding cake. I weighed out all the fruit into my large mixing bowl (2lbs currants, 1 lb raisins, etc etc) and to cut a long story short all the fruit completely filled the bowl! I was supposed to add 20 ozs of flour and spices!! Then if I had creamed the 20 ozs of butter and 20 ozs of sugar and beaten in 12 eggs there is no way I would be able to mix it in. What a nightmare! I then had to wait for H to finish, shower, dress etc. before I could go out to buy something larger and leave him on postman duty. By the time I got back it was too late to make the cake because it’s going to take so many hours to bake. To make matters worse when I arrived home the parcel was on the doormat!! So I have sealed up the fruit and will start again in the morning. I was a bit fed up then so I decided to do my favourite job and work in the garden. I spent all the rest of the out there. When I came in I had a bath and cooked dinner. We had lasagna with fried tomatoes.

Friday.

I got up at 6.13 when H came and woke me! He had made the tea and popped my bread onto the toaster. I put on a load of washing and had my breakfast. H put on a loaf of bread. As soon as I had cleaned my teeth, dressed etc we went to Asda for our weekly shop. I only spent £60, o8 and I had 2 bottles of wine. We went from there to our butchers in Hevingham where I spent £ 99.23. So now the freezer is nice and full. When we got home I unpacked etc while H made us a coffee. We had it with a cream do nut. I read my magazine and hung out the washing and as soon as the bread was done we went out on our bikes. We did a short ride because turned very black and we didn’t want to get caught in the rain.(17.7 miles). As soon as we got home I got the washing in (all dry) and within minutes it was raining. We had a pork pie for lunch with salad, H had a plain one and I had a Stilton topped one, it was delicious. I did the ironing and we had a glass of wine. Next I washed my hair, had a shower and cooked dinner, paella with cheese,garlic and herb bread. Strawberries and cream for dessert. In Asda I bought some super glue and h stuck my Apple Watch up! It’s perfect! They wanted to send it away at the Apple store and it was going to cost £150 !!! Next time it goes wrong I will have a new one.

Thursday.

 I got up at 6.30 and read a chapter of my book before making a pot of tea and having my breakfast. I packed my lunch, dressed, made the bed and went to work. I had to pick 23 bunches of radishes, 30 bunches of beetroot, 6 bunches of golden beetroot, 75 bunches of carrots and 56 bunches of spring onions. After that I had to pick 3 boxes of sungold tomatoes which only left me 32 minutes to weed. We had a little rain on and off all morning while I was working, just enough to make things messy but not enough to do any good which was quite disappointing but this afternoon it rained more heavily and hasn’t stopped yet. On the way home I went to the chicken farm for 2 dozen large eggs and when I got indoors H poured me a nice cup of coffee. I read more of my book and then had a bath. For dinner tonight we had pork chops with potatoes, carrots and cabbage that were all still growing in the field up to 10 o’clock this morning. I don’t have to work till Monday so the weekend starts here.
