I had a very frustrating reason for working from home today but at least that meant that I could enjoy the lovely spring sunshine.

I miss the pretty flowers which come out while I am usually at work. They are so lovely in the sunshine and I felt very lucky to be able to enjoy them today. I was thrilled to see the roses my sisters gave me for my birthday are budding. They were only twigs when I planted them in Autumn. Watermelon for breakfast. I had half a medium sized watermelon, which I nibbled during the morning. I worked in the kitchen because that is the sunniest room in the mornings. It’s a very happy space. Late morning I made this fantastic bowl of chocolate banana ice-cream.  Made with 3 bananas, 2 tbsp peanut butter, Green and Blacks cocoa powder and a splash of almond milk. 4 simple ingredients made the most delicious and amazing bowl of ice-cream I have had so far. In the afternoon I made my lunch.  I spiralled a courgette and chopped up some cucumber, tomatoes, spring onion and lettuce. Dressed simply with salt, pepper and olive oil. Delicious. Supper was very easy.  6 falafels with some humous, sprouted pulses, olives and cherry tomatoes.

Having enjoyed the spring sunshine and eaten lots of raw, fresh fruits and vegetables, my tyre was mended and it only cost me £12 which is amazing.  Thank you to
