… and ready to go.
Recently our outside security light stopped working. We got it checked by an electrician who told us that the light fitting was broken and needed to be replaced. Locally you can have any colour light you like as long as it is black. Our Sunday mission was to go a little further afield to a countryside shop that we thought might stock a white outdoor light.
In the morning before setting off on our mission we visited mum who completely blanked me, turning away from me and pulling her hand away, so I gave her a quick hug and left. Sadly on this occasion she knew what she was doing.
This meant that we had lunch in Mere Park earlier than we had expected which was not a bad thing as the service is always rather slow. The food however is always delicious and on this occasion I chose poached salmon and pasta salad. Arriving early also meant more time for browsing the store. We ended up leaving with some new cushions for our outdoor chairs; our current ones are showing their age and the seat pads have become uncomfortable. I also couldn’t resist buying another colouring book as if I didn’t have enough already.
When we visited the outdoor countryside shop that I had in mind I realised that I had muddled it up with another shop. Mr C came to the conclusion that shop I had been thinking of was Charlie’s in Shrewsbury. Mr C was right and so was I with regards to the lights; they had several lights in white to choose from. We left with our purchase and arrived home just in time for pre dinner drinks with the elder Mr & Mrs C.
Later at home we enjoyed Normandy Pork which had been cooking to perfection in the slow cooker whilst we had been out on our adventures.
I am making poached salmon and vegetables tonight for tea
Feel free to join in.
I did, we had salmon again tonight
Normandy pork? I am all intrigued now!
Cos I can only imagine it being cooked slowly in camembert sauce?!
I bet they use escargots or frogs in Normandy instead of pork?
Yum yum! Bon appetit!
It was cooked in cider with no sign of frogs or molluscs. Both of which have visited my garden but they are safe I am not a fan of adding either of those to any of my meal choices.
What a lovely outfit – you look so elegant.
It sounds like a nice day out and about. I enjoyed the Henry Ford reference!
I’ve looked up Normandy Pork- it sounds divine! I’m always looking for more pork dishes so will give it a try in a couple of weeks when it cools down
Thank you
I hope you enjoy the Normandy Pork when you get round trying it. Our version needed a little less cream but it was delicious.
