It's Almost The August Bank Holiday Weekend 2023

Yes, it's almost the weekend and here in the UK we have a Bank Holiday Weekend, which for many means a nice three day break from work. Time to see family, friends ... perhaps do some gardening or decorating even visit a local event.

Whatever you may be doing I wish you a happy weekend, with some good weather, although I'm not sure we will be lucky with that!

Eddie and I have no plans to travel far, the roads are always extra busy at bank holiday times.

Instead I will include some older photographs from a visit to Mudeford we enjoyed back in 2019 (don't the years pass by quickly?)

sorry doggie, you missed the ferry, the next one will be along soon 😊

However you plan to spend your Bank Holiday weekend (or ordinary weekend) do have a good one.

... and how about enjoying this colourful salad sometime over the weekend!

  13. Enjoy your weekend Jan and Eddie. Like you, and living in a near touristy area, we tend to avoid going too far at Bank Holiday time.

  14. I don't know what it is like to have a day off for a bank holiday. I have always had to work bank holidays. Of course, the double pay comes in very handy. Some employers used to give a day off in lieu with pay. that salad looks utterly delicious. Enjoy your weekend.

    I thought of you when I found a cauliflower mac and cheese with chicken sausage dish on AOL. Surprised me it is so easy.
