Family days out worth doing, gardening jobs worth knowing, recipes worth keeping.
Linda Garrould writes Saturday and Sunday from her kitchen in Norwich. She covers the things a UK family weekend actually contains — a National Trust visit when the rain stops, a row of seedlings on the kitchen windowsill, a Saturday-afternoon traybake. Her family-visit reviews lean East-of-England (Norfolk and Suffolk first, then the rest of England) because that is the patch she and her husband John know best, and because regional voices are the ones readers trust.
Before the blog, Linda spent years as a home cook tearing recipes out of magazines and as a National Trust member visiting more than half the East-of-England properties. She still does both. Saturday and Sunday is what came of writing it down — and a kept-promise note to readers that every visit review is a real visit.
What Linda covers
- Family days out — National Trust, English Heritage, Historic England, RSPB, regional attractions. Visited-this-month, photographed-on-the-day, with prices and opening hours.
- Norfolk and Suffolk first — the Broads, the coast, the market towns, and the fact that Norwich itself has more medieval churches than any other English city.
- Gardening — the seasonal jobs that fit a school-run schedule. Runner beans for children. Pinching out tomatoes. Cutting back rosemary in February and trying to keep it organic.
- Weekend cookery — straightforward family food. Scones for Saturday, a roast or one tray wonder for a busy Sunday.
