slow living ........

Another month has flown by -  life is hectic but fun and fulfilling. Hope you have all had a productive month, using Christine's nine heading's I have given you a flavour of what's been happening in my life.

NOURISH:

lots of cooking and experimenting with recipes, not sure it's always nourishing as quite a few sweet bakes this month.

carrot and lentil soup

stir fry vegetables in a tomato sauce

cupcake batch bake

lemon drizzle loaf cake

tomato pasta

Oreo dipped lolly pops ............

PREPARE:
As usual lots of cooking from scratch, batch cooking and a few new recipes.

REDUCE:
Same as last time really, home fuel bills and petrol costs still showing savings.

GREEN:

Continuing to compost waste and limit use of pesticides and chemicals.
 

GROW:

Herb garden thriving, bay and rosemary look lovely, strawberries in pots and hanging baskets are looking good.

CREATE:

Even more crochet, and a few more unusual projects ..............

little wooden people

DISCOVER:
Still discovering that I do have will power, I have now lost 2 stone - I am so thrilled.

ENHANCE:
Time spent with my wonderful grandchildren - they enhance my life enormously

ENJOY:
 A fabulous time in London sharing in Kate's wedding planning, dress fitting and more

I hope you have all had a good month sorry my post is a little late - I  look forward to catching up with all the "slow living posts" over at  Christine's - I am sure yet again you will have all put me to shame.
