Notes
Considering early spring is still cold, and rainy and requires wrapping up warm whenever you step out of the house, we have actually already done some garden pruning and tidy-ups and been out and about on bikes in the village as well.A few short weekend trips to the garden centre were fun… and I’m excited to explore some more gardening as well as our new village and the surrounding tourist areas and the lakes.On busy days like these, I love an easy-cook dinner, especially the one-pot recipes!This Curried Mince and Peas dish is a perfect addition to those recipes and it takes ONLY 20 minutes to cook!
