Have all the butter bean trees died ?
Can’t find Batchelor’s tinned butter beans, they make a very tasty dish with tomatoes , onions ,mixed herbs ,tomato purée, mushrooms if liked ,a veggie stock cube,pepper and topped with a cheese scone cobbler topping or herb dumplings .
Tried Morrison’s own,yuk, tasteless .
Will drop in Asda in Bury , very near the bus stop for the outdoor market.
Bury is very convenient , however for a while bus services will be disrupted .
Another takeover , and Andy Burnham’s plan not yet in place.
Had some really nice salmon from Aldi, I was impressed , a lemony ginger dressing, 20 mins in oven .£3-50 ,same thing Tesco £4-00 on offer but £5-00
usually.
I liked their pork loin chops and braising steak I got recently.
Have some smoked mackerel in fridge too.
Paid £5-40 for kippers in Bury fish market ,that is quite a rise in price.
Both sons are going to a Toy Fair in Bolton’s Reebok Stadium.
They like looking for authentic Match Box, Corgi, and Dinky toys, especially broken ones to cannibalise to repair all the ones they played with when small.
They loaded sand with them, steam rolled earth , dug sand with the miniature mechanical shovels etc ,in fact actually played with them .
It shows ,so now they are restoring them!
Authentic paint etc.
Well, they are only 66 and 64 respectively, in June and April.
Lovely day today and got big towels and towelling bathrobe on the line ,all dry.
Pond filter and oxygenator working OK , after the big freeze I was worried.
So goodnight folks ,look after yourselves and thanks for the news .
Kind wishes to all who are troubled .
Viktoria.
