Helping you plan family friendly weekends & holidays in the UK.
Monty Don has just published a great little blog full of hints and tips for getting your garden ready for spring, and I highly recommend it.
To read Monty’s blog visit https://montydon.com/2019/01/31/february-2/ you may also be interested in my updated Monty Don Gardeners World Reading List and Gift Guide page. I’m working hard to keep that page up to date with any news every week and will be planning to publish my show notes when Gardeners World returns to our TV screens in a few weeks.
Hope you’ve all had a good weekend so far. I thought I’d do a quick post tonight to highlight that this week marks the halfway point for January 2019, or put another way we’re about 4% of the way through the year already.
Incase you haven’t seen my new Countdown to Easter page, today (Sunday 13th Jan) is 97 days until Easter.
So if you made a New Years resolution and you’re sticking to it then well done, the longer you stick to it the easier it becomes (apparently) as the behaviour becomes a habit.
For those of us who made plans for the year, the halfway point in January is a great reminder that time waits for no one. Can you honestly say you’ve achieved 4% of your planned objectives for 2019 yet?
So keep up the good work and see what you can achieve before the end of the month.
Friday Night Feasts on Channel four this week featured Romesh Ranganathan as the guest cook. The show started with Jamie saying he’d found the perfect vegan cheese to make a vegan lasagne but for whatever reason, he doesn’t go on to name the cheese in the programme or indeed on his website.
Thankfully Jamie Oliver himself later provided the answer when he was subjected to a torrent of people on Twitter point out this mistake.
Jamie replied a tweet from Jess asking “Please someone tell me what that vegan cheese on the lasagne was? It looked heavenly!”, with the answer “Hey Jess, that’d be Koko dairy free Cheddar”.
Apparently other comments then go onto say that this is available in Waitrose. Most people say it’s OK but I’ve also seen a few which say it tastes a little of Coconut.
Update: February 10th 2019 – This is now available via Waitrose Online and can be found here.
If you’ve tried this vegan cheese or made Jamie’s vegan lasagne I’d love to hear what you think of them. Please leave a comment below.
