New diary :)

I bought a new diary today. A new year with no paid work to have to go to every day - a year that represents a new phase for me - retirement. So I chose something that is cheerful and fun.



I made a lovely root vegetable casserole for lunch today - with borlotti beans - and have enough left for another portion for 31st October - my planned meal is already made! Funny how things work out once you make a plan. It is tasty, sweet and spicy.



I've also got the mixed dried fruit ready for making the Soul Cakes recipe. Yay!
