Great shot of the dragonfly! That koala story is heart warming. What a hero.

It is really nice I get the same feeling, probably because it really is! A lot of original Victorian features remain. Glad to be a part of it. Oh and thanks for the donation you sent me last week for being

:) We call garbanzo beans chickpeas here in England. It's probably good that you use them instead of veg sausages anyway as they're definitely healthier (not processed)! I put them in quite a lot of stuff

I have also lived in bad accommodation to save money as it was so cheap, but nothing compares to that! It's easy to forget how good we have it here in England. What I consider "bad accommodation"

haha well they're not vegan by choice! They love meat too. But as a vegan myself I don't want to cause unnecessary harm to animals which is what happens when you treat them as commodities, so buying meat

ooh thanks!

Wow your old place sounded awful! I've had a few issues with my house this year but nothing compared to yours. Good job taking action and getting out of there, you sound a lot more settled now! Well written

Oo that sounds interesting I'll have to remember that! Thanks for sharing .. maybe I'll do a fruitsandveggiesmonday using your food tactics xD

Aww they're lovely. Crazy how we have such a similar pair of doggies!

Oh cool I'll check it out thanks for sharing!

These are really cool. Great use of light!

The trees look epic I would love to stand under those! Great pics!

oh yeah silly me. Thanks!

Haha those ducks made me laugh. Great pics!

Looks like you had a great time! Discovering your family history must feel great, like your finding a part of yourself somehow. These posts remind me of the TV show "Who do you think you are"

Thanks Elizabeth and you

haha pasta king you're too kind! I came across mashing up sausages in another recipe before and applied to this! Works better with some sausages than others. The ones I used here don't have a "skin"

Thanks you!

:D Yes indeed! Beans/pulses, greens and carbs in every meal required! Kinda skimped on the greens in this one though.. just a small dose of parsley. I add spinach to the mix when I have some in the fridge

Wow that is some top quality meal prep. Very organised!! So healthy too. The darker the greens, the more nutritious they are; fact! I would always buy purple looking greens if I could find them. So goood.
