The River Garden Pub Our new house is within stumbling distance of several pubs and we decided to try out one yesterday evening.

So I was in a pretty crabby mood today- the weather is really getting me down (Any thoughts about S.A.D…?), I’m feeling a bit stressed with work and thinking about not seeing Mark for 2months while he’s working in Australia.

Breakfast– 2 crushed Weetabix with yoghurt and defrosted berries, a small bread roll and a mug of tea. Lunch today– leftover … More Back to Work
