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!

Such a lovely combination of flavors in that salad. I don't blame you for staying close to home when everyone is out traveling. Enjoy your holiday break!

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.

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.

Bill said...

That's a nice looking salad.

Lovely photos, I like the dog looking at the boat. It would be good to do some gardening this weekend but the forecast is not looking good.

The ferry leaving leaves me a sense of being abandoned.

Happy Holiday!

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

I wonder how nectarine would taste with it.
Coffee is on, and stay safe.

Me gustaron las fotografías. Les deseo un genial fin de semana.

I wish you a nice weekend and you show great souvenir photos here and I will try that today too, the salad, thanks for the great recipe.
Greetings Elke

we tend to stay close to home on the holiday weekends also, sitting in a bunch of traffic just doesn't sound like fun anymore :)
So nice to have a look back and fun memories :) Enjoy your weekend!
