I'm a LOSER, whoop whoop!

I've lost 3 and a half pounds this week, I'm so so chuffed! And I've had some lovely food and great walks in the countryside along the way.

On Saturday I took both kids (Sam was in a backpack) on a walk from the house which turned out to be far longer than anticipated. Largely because we were enjoying it so much, and it had been so long since I had done that walk (possibly even before the kids came along). It's so beautiful where I live. I took them to the "secret cottages" and then on to the forest, and eventually back again - all in all 1 hour 40 minutes which is very good for Laura - especially considering she's only 4 and a great deal of it was steep hill.

Once I've finished this post I'll be getting up the boy and we'll be off again on another walk - this time perhaps an hour. And it's a beautiful day :-)

I've eaten some lovely lovely food over the last few days, particularly noteworthy were the following - hand-picked chanterelles with garlic and parsley, served with toast and a poached egg:




And the soup I made for lunch today from the Moro East cookbook (which I highly recommend) - courgette, yoghurt and mint, with courgette flowers:





Delicious - I had it hot with bread for my lunch, then chilled from the fridge as an afternoon snack!
