A jolly day out

Today we had an old fashioned Day Out at Marwell Wildlife with family J, F and E. The animals were given passing glances - of more interest was the play area, the sandpit and the train ride around the site. The snow leopard cubs are deservedly popular and the one we saw was very cute indeed.

I was allowed to do menu choosing tonight, and attempting to provide a balanced mostly vegetarian diet, opted for simple bean chilli and rice - from the always reliable Sam Stern Eat Vegetarian cook book. With fruit salad for pudding. It all disappeared. Rather like Miss I in her bath afterwards to remove remnants of her tea - she splashed so much she almost vanished under the big waves.

Looking forward to our veggie box delivery tomorrow from Wayside Organics - I don't know, dirty carrots again. I'm all for this organic lark but sometimes they even have mud on them!! Miss A will then be in charge of menu planning, so far she's written down broccoli and carrot pasta.

Enjoyed an evening bike ride on my own (with bike unadorned by children) to the local shop to get the Chichester Observer. And some dark chocolate. Of course.
