Keeping It Filled Up!

If you play with anything long enough it will break - Murphy's Law
Welcome to my Saturday πŸ‘…
Nice to have hug with a brew!
Breakfast.
Kids are off for their daily exercise.
They will meet us at the graveyard where my parents are buried.
I had some nice stuff arrive in the post↓
Now to go out for some fresh air.
Kids started on their walk.
We went past where the new Lidl is being built.
They are slowly bringing down the old buildings..
Tidied up my parent's grave.
Next Sunday is Mother's Day, and got the balloons ready as well as more flowers.
We had a look around the graveyard.
We found someone who died at 101 years old.
Kids arrived. 
Back home.
We had a nice treat of a Bacon and black pudding sandwich↓
Then off to get some meat for the freezer.

When we got back, time for all of it to go in the freezer.
Time for a much needed coffee.
Hubby and son then went off to do some food shopping for us and the next door neighbour.
I had a Cottage Pie to make.
Once it was done, in the oven it went.
Having fun at the moment trying to master bread.
