To Brighten Your Day !

image from here

Talking to family and friends, reading many sites and blogs it seems that due to Covid 19 many (most) are finding day to day living is not easy. I'm sure we would all like to know when things will get back to more normal conditions, but at the moment we need to follow health and safety instructions and do the best we can.

Yes, life is certainly strange and it is even more important to take a little something from every day, to be thankful for the small things that can still be enjoyed.

Take these flowers for instance ... perhaps they may provide a little colour and beauty in your day today ... I hope so.

To all my wonderful blogging friends, thank you so much for your continued support of this blog, it is always so nice to receive, read and share your comments.

Of course it wouldn't be me if I didn't include a recipe in a post, so for those who may like to see a delicious chicken recipe how about one of these;
Chicken Thighs Pan Roasted with a Chive Cream Sauce
Mustard and Sage Chicken with Celeriac Mash
Chicken Casserole - with a selection of vegetables
Find out more here

For those readers who enjoy cauliflower, have you tried any of these recipes?
Have a look here


Stay well and stay safe,
Do your best to keep smiling
and try to take something from each day.

All the best Jan

  26. thanks Jan - beautiful flowers and words. Blogger friends in my opinion are as important as friends you can see, hear, touch. it's bloggers that have kept me connected although sometimes i stay off the internet for a few days because i don't want to accidentally stumble on to all the news reports .
