Stuffed & Broke In Polkerris

It seems that we're making a regular habit of eating out...
Although today was different, as it was kind of my birthday meal with the kidlets.
The destination: Sam's On The Beach - A very nice, upmarket restaurant right on the beach in Polkerris.
Unfortunately, the girls' boyfriends are always busy on Tuesdays - but it's the only day the 5 of us can get together...

It's always great for all the kids to be with us.
Sal lives 30 miles away & now works full-time, so we just meet up whenever we can...

And as usual - there is a lot of silliness, even in nice restaurants!

The view from our table.

The pizzas were huge & one each was too much really...

This is Sal's - Cheese & Red Onion.

Sime, Hugo & I had a Veggie Pizza each...

With a green salad.

Rose had a Veggie Sandwich.

It wasn't long before the laughter started...

Silly conversations, misunderstandings...

And laughing until we're all in tears!

Lovely kids!

Just outside the restaurant...

A quiet overcast day...

And chilly too.

A pretty garden - Sime's just cheeky!

The youngsters racing on ahead as usual!


Oh well, another birthday over & our pockets are a lot lighter.
The food was delicious & filling! 
We'll definitely eat there again - though can't believe how much we've spent today! 
Good job we've got plenty of work!

Bye for now,

Kay :)

Looks like a lovely spot. Shame about the weather, but glad the company was cheerful and the food was good to make up for it.

Diet And Drugs

Some of you know about my fight with Graves Disease, an auto immune system disorder, which causes an overactive thyroid. Since I was diagnosed 7 years ago, I have made it my business to know everything I possibly could about the condition & this has probably saved my life. I have blood tests on a regular basis & in November last year, I was told that my T4 levels are normal & again in January the same.  My thyroid stimulating hormone was finally starting to work too, after 7 years of lying dormant, so I suggested I came off the anti thyroid drug & my GP's response was to continue for a while longer. A month ago, I rang my GP & suggested again that I come off the drug or at least halve it, as I was feeling so well  & was concerned about the drug pushing me into being under active. Again, she said to be patient & they would send for me when it's time for a blood test. I don't normally do as I'm told, but decided to stick with it a b

Our Neighbours

The ladies next door have been giving birth in the field. Their babies are like any other babies - they sleep, they feed, they follow their mums everywhere, they run around, then fall asleep again.  These little beauties are completely unaware of their fate... But we know... And this is one thing which makes living here difficult. How can people eat other beings without feeling terrible?     It just doesn't make sense. Both the posters are from the  Cornwall Vegans  website. If you are in Cornwall or will be on Saturday 22nd April - do support this event! Perhaps you have been considering veganism - this  Vegan Starter Kit  will help you to get started and if you have any questions, need help or ideas for recipes - just ask, we are always happy to talk to folks who want to change their diet for the better. And in case you haven't seen this on iplayer - Here is  Simon Amstell's Carnage . Please, please think seriousl

Nettles

Our garden yesterday. Tall Nettles TALL nettles cover up, as they have done These many springs, the rusty harrow, the plough Long worn out, and the roller made of stone: Only the elm butt tops the nettles now. This corner of the farmyard I like most: As well as any bloom upon a flower I like the dust on the nettles, never lost Except to prove the sweetness of a shower. ~ Edward Thomas ~ Every time we venture out to pick nettles, Sime always goes on about this poem! Anyway, thought I'd share with you the article I've written for next month's Parish Magazine... Our hedgerows are coming alive with food aplenty, but hardly anyone really notices the nettles that surround us, they grow quietly while using their juices to produce a medicine that can bring health. Anaemia, arthritis, rickets, tuberculosis, respiratory diseases, colds, catarrh and lymphatic problems can all benefit from this wonderful wild and free super food. Nettles are rich in ca
