I have found it so hard these past 2 mornings to go in to London.  I want to stay in my garden !

This is my view from the kitchen window and it was too good to leave alone.  I had to get outside. I feel such a sense of peace and happiness amongst my vegetable garden.  I really must sow more seeds and Saturday will be spent doing just that. I prepared a huge bowl full of watermelon and, with reluctance, set off for London.

I sit next to a window and in the morning I have to have the blind down because the sun shines in my eyes so at lunch time I was very keen to get outside and to feel the sun on my skin. Unsurprisingly all the seats had people sitting on them, enjoying the warmest day of the year so far.
I found this little garden really close to my office. It is amazing that this tranquil little garden sits here, so close to the hustle and bustle of London’s Covent garden and West End. I enjoyed a Pod green smoothie and a ‘Gymn Box’ which had broccoli, falafel, houmous and salad and was really good. Not as good as sitting peacefully in here for half an hour though. I certainly did make the time to …… This morning I made breakfast again and took it to work.  How I wanted to be at home to enjoy the sunshine and my garden again.  This was yummy.

So was this. Pasta and broccoli left over from supper the previous evening, with tomatoes, cucumber, endive and red pepper. Ever since the weekend I have been really bad with snacking and today I vowed to get back on track.  I did fail but this was the only snack I had today which is a huge improvement on yesterday when I snacked on 2 chocolate bars !!!! Supper was very easy; banana ice-cream with mango and almonds.  A sweet ending to a good day.

I did snack again in the evening but only 1 heaped tbsp coconut yogurt with some walnuts.  At least I was vegan today and mainly wholefood and plant based.  A definite step back in to the right direction.
