Linn as the weather turns cooler, that boiled dinner idea appeals more and more to me. However, my vegetarian husband is not keen on "boiled" veg. I tend to cook up a collection of root veg with sweet onion, cabbage, celery and peas. Then separate into halves. Half to go with a jar of balti sauce, rice pilaf, naan, for a curry. The other half chicken veg soup for my lunches part of which will be frozen. I am loving the description of wildlife. I have view of a part dead leylandii with the occasional ring necked dove, wood pigeon perching or random cat climbing through from the fence beneath. If I manage to keep my job, we will be staying in first floor flat. I am thinking that I should make kitchen and lounge picture windows (which are east facing and quite deep) into mini greenhouse gardens. Herbs in kitchen, ornamental / edible plants in lounge. Can't do anything about pets. Chris doesn't like dogs, thinks it is cruel to keep cats indoors, has views about caged birds and aquariums as unnatural and cruel. Sigh. Maybe he will be up for foster caring for cats. I need animals in my life.
