Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Friday.  The forecast here, after a damp and soggy yesterday, isn't inspiring but over Maldon way it looks much more hopeful so fingers crossed.

Oh, yes.  I was proud to give this to Chris.  My best yet, I think.

Mostly wholemeal but I had to add some white because I ran out of wholemeal and I'm really pleased with the oven-spring - perfect!
I think I have found one of my ongoing recipes by accident.

While I was chatting with Chris, she said that, after living in Germany in past years, she and Steve love rye bread.  One of the recipes I came home with is rye bread so guess what my next try out will be.

As expected, Groove was in Lindsey's studio rather than in the garden as it was damp and drizzly but not to worry.  It was still good.

I now have the trellis blanket pattern, have packed what I need, located the YouTube video and am looking forward to starting it off while I'm away.  First thing in the morning, before falling asleep, those sorts of times.  I doubt I will get much done but we will see.

I'm pretty much ready to go.  I have to make sandwiches for lunch (I'm not paying nearly £20 for a two course meal) and just sort out a few more bits and bobs - techy stuff, for a start, do my bit at Slimming World (leaving early), load the car and off I go.  I can book in at eleven and have access to my room at twelve.  Once in and sorted, I plan to go for a swim first (assuming the pool is open and it should be) and then just chill, plan the weekend's stuff and just relax.  Bliss.

My lovely neighbours are looking after the garden for me although, looking at the forecast for the weekend, they might not be needed.  I have always liked to ask children living in the cul de sac (well, their parents really) if they could water for some holiday money and they've always done a good job.  

So - better go and finish things off before SW.  Have a lovely day and thank you all for your lovely, supportive comments on yesterday's post.  They were very helpful and made a difference.

See you tomorrow, maybe with photos!!

Cheers.  xx
