Ron came home from training. We had biscuits and sausage gravy for dinner. It was my first attempt at making biscuits from scratch. They were easier to make than I had expected and they turned out very good. The pork sausage I bought has a lot to be desired. It doesn't brown and crumble like it does in the US. I have heard they add bread to it, which seems really strange to me.
Day 40
We started the day shopping for garden tools. Then we had a late lunch at The Harverster. I had the smoked bacon belly and sweet potato fries, which was amazing. Plus we had a coupon for £1 kids meals with every buying adult. Score!
We spent the afternoon working in the garden (aka backyard). Mowed the lawn, cleaned up some bamboo that the landlady pulled, and pulled some weeds. I learned a hard lesson about bamboo.....I must wear gloves when dealing with it; my hands were covered in tiny cuts that felt like a million splinters.
We met up with some Coast Guard families for dinner to welcome home one of the guys who had been deployed. I didn't eat because I was still full from our late lunch. We treated the kids to gelato afterwards because they had behaved well while we sat around and chatted at dinner.
Day 41
The highlight of our day was cheering for the bee that found it's way out of an open window in the conservatory while we ate dinner. Sometimes it's the little things that keep us entertained.
