Here we are back at the start of another week! I hope you all had a nice weekend! Joe and I had a great one… first up on Saturday morning we did our usual morning gym session then did our grocery shopping for the week and after that we had a guest visit us, it was Joe’s brother-in-law from Australia who was here for work in London and caught the train down to visit us for the day! It was great to see him and I was so happy that Joe got to see someone from his family after almost 3 years! It’s a shame he couldn’t stay longer but we had a chance to show him around our town and sit down for a coffee break at one of the local cafes :). On Sunday, we once again hit the gym in the morning then home to have something to eat, I prepared dinner by making the ‘Beef Casserole’ from Rubies and Radishes cookbook ‘The Paleo Slow Cooker’ which turned out to be very delicious! After that I worked on a dessert that I’m going to be sharing as a guest post on Craving4More blog soon, which I will link to over here when it goes up! The dessert was AMAZING… if I do say so myself! You’ll just have to wait and see! After doing some other household tasks that needed to be tackled we decided to go explore the castle grounds (in case you didn’t know we live right opposite a castle!), we ended up getting to see the birds they keep there for one of their shows… an American Eagle, Vultures, Owls, a baby Condor and some other bird I forget the name of! At first I thought they were fake but then they started moving and making noise and I thought WOOOOWWW this is crazy! After we explored the castle for a bit we ended up going for our usual walk which is about 8km/5miles and usually it’s fine but yesterday because of the gym session in the morning my legs were on fire and I really struggled on that walk! I was so sore after that, I was just ready to plop on the couch and watch Downton Abbey! [Read more…]
