Bizarre when you have photos of Trafalgar square completely packed, Scary.<br /><br />The flowers and photos are so beautiful...as are those pasties! yum!<br /><br />Straw bale looks good though! It can be mine and Jasons house when we come and live in your garden, hehe!lozabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223263361085075839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-64327109245104731122014-11-06T10:27:52.714-08:002014-11-06T10:27:52.714-08:00If I'm making beef stew I keep back some of th...If I'm making beef stew I keep back some of the seasoned meat add potato and onion and make pasties for the freezer, left over chicken is also turned into pasties, great when you suddenly decide to have a day out to have ready made food in the freezer. Another good one is Country Pie, half and half sausage meat and minced beef, add some onion, seasoning and make into pasties, good hot or cold.Anne Wilsonhttp://anirishalternative.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-5453393973226893002014-11-06T09:54:05.257-08:002014-11-06T09:54:05.257-08:00The Spanakopita pasties sound wonderful, Anne.

The program was never aired and the two journalists were sacked by Fox News. There is no doubt who waged that dogs tail.<br />Ireland is a truly beautiful country, we try to explore as much of it as we can, but you would be disappointed in our accents, definitely English.Anne Wilsonhttp://anirishalternative.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-43443976105248126842014-11-04T05:06:00.095-08:002014-11-04T05:06:00.095-08:00I can recommend Marble Arch caves, they're wel...I can recommend Marble Arch caves, they're well worth a visit.<br />Lovely photos and the Spanakopita looks very tasty. :-) Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726289204742233844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-36751491796385618342014-11-03T17:10:05.958-08:002014-11-03T17:10:05.958-08:00Anne, i am in agreement that the news is definitel...Anne, i am in agreement that the news is definitely flavoured by who owns the media. The good thing about the internet and blogging is that we are not censored. I've learnt a great deal about real life in the UK with the austerity measures and the food banks and when i tell people that we are indeed the lucky country im sure they dont quite believe what im telling them because its not reported at all here. My son believes America is like that portrayed on TV and wants to live there. Little does he know what life is like for the average person. <br /><br />Having grown up in the country without newspapers, TV and spending most of our time outside, i am still surprised by things that i come across on the net. My friend tells me i grew up in a bubble - well i liked that bubble. <br /><br />Ireland looks exactly as imagined, all rolling green hills with craggy rocks, lakes, streams and historic sites. I enjoy your trips but im missing the sound of your accent for the full experience. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12605358521258969537noreply@blogger.com
