I don’t have much to report this week.<\/p>

The best word to describe last week’s weather was miserable. The week began damp and misty. If anything as the week progressed the weather worsened.<\/p>

We planned our weekly visit to Nostell for Thursday but rain fell all day and it never got light. Ruby wasn’t pleased and spent most of the day curled up on the sofa. I think she thought that it was bedtime.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

We managed a couple of walks in the park. Both were days that we wouldn’t have ventured out if it wasn’t for Ruby needing some exercise.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Not only was it damp and miserable but it has also been very cold. Not cold enough for frost but cold enough to make noses shiver.<\/p>

It was time for Ruby\u2019s winter coats to be put into service. As it turned out, it was just as well as Ruby decided to roll about on the wet grass. At least the coat kept her body dry and she avoided needing a full body wash.<\/p>

Friday we ventured to the allotment as we needed to replenish our stock of fresh vegetables.<\/p>

The scene was very bleak, but at least some plants were looking healthy enough such as the sweet Williams.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

The strawberry plants were still flowering and even setting fruit. The fruit is extremely unlikely to ripen but you have to admire the plant’s optimism.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

We didn’t stay at the plot for very long. Not only was it very cold but it started to drizzle.<\/p>

Once we had harvested some vegetables we headed home.<\/p>

\"\"
18 November – Leeks, cabbage, savoy and purple cauliflower<\/figcaption><\/figure>

The vegetables were taken home complete with roots and stood in buckets with a little water in the bottom. This way they stay fresh until we want to use them.<\/p>

At least the weather doesn’t stop me from cooking. I used some of our squash and onion in a curry<\/a>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

I made a sweet and sour chicken dish<\/a>. This used our oni0n, carrot and some of our frozen green and red peppers. If you decide to use this recipe there is a mistake. To make the sauce you use pineapple juice and not pineapple. I served it with noodles.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Finally, I made a turkey leek and bean bake<\/a>, that used some of our leeks and potatoes.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Here’s hoping for a better week this week – I’m running out of Kindles to read.<\/p>

As always until next time stay safe and well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
