My blog is back!

I have been using my new phone to post statuses to facebook but can't seem to post my blog so this won't be as frequent as i spend more time at my caravan with only the phone for Internet access.
This is no hardship but I do enjoy posting the blog so I am happy to be doing this now.
It is pretty amazing to think that my dream of selling my house came true almost a month ago.
Life has been a whirlwind since but it is lovely seeing the first step of my plan coming together.
I am enjoying looking at potential flats etc. and when the right one comes along it will be lovely to move in.
It will soon be the Easter holiday and I am really looking forward to visiting friends and family including walking on Dartmoor with canine friends.
It is beautiful seeing Spring bring things to life around my caravan. The daffodils are poking their heads up and the sun is shining more and more often!

Caravan season!

Today the caravan park is officially open! This means I will be spending lots of time in my caravan and wont be on-line so often. My new phone enables me to check emails etc when the reception is OK but sometimes the signal is poor. this means I have no excuse ~I will be able to up my game on reading books I have waiting for me and also writing!
I am very excited!

Dosa's are delicious!

To celebrate Graham's birthday a group of us went out to a Dosa retaurant. The food there is delicious. A Dosa is a crepe made from rice flour.
It is served with a selection of sauces and dips. You tear a chunk of crepe and dip it into spicy sauce. I had a Masala tea. It was a lot like Chai tea. It was beautifully spicy.
The staff were really friendly and the bill was really reasonable.
I would definitely recommend trying a Dosa if you have never had one.

This is my Gran tucking into a different kind of crepe!

Roast potatoes

I really like roast potatoes.
I had lovely roast potatoes for lunch today.
I don't know why roast potatoes are so much nicer than other potato dishes.
They go perfectly with gravy too.
I even like them cold with mustard so now you know!

I love this photo of summer flowers. It makes me think of long summer days....

getting used to the new

I feel pretty amazing. My life has changed a lot lately.
I have moved house and am in the process of buying somewhere new.
I had to clear out so much stuff in the moving process and at the time there was just so much to do. All that pressure is off now.
I don't know exactly how things will pan out but it is so nice knowing there aren't lots of things that need dealing with.
The kids were back in school today so you could argue everything is back to 'normal' but it feels different.
I am definitely entering a new phase in this adventure called life!
I like this photo for a number of reasons. the picture was given to me by some special people, I decorated it for Christmas and the decking in the background is in  my old lounge.
Happy memories!

back to work!

Lot's of pupils, students and staff went back to school and college today.
It is a weird feeling fitting into one routine after doing something completely different.
It was good to see everyone today and some staff are really good at baking and so I was able to benefit from some delicious potato salad, carrot cake etc.
It is weird getting up early after a week of getting up when I want but luckily my trusty alarm did not fail me!    
This is a short term and as the weeks go by Spring will gradually appear!

Greenwich is lovely

Ollie loves going to Greenwich park. It is such a good place to go to meet other dogs and they are usually pretty friendly. The market is a brilliant place to buy lovely food and crafts.
It is a great place to go any time of year and the park looks different in every season.
The dogs love chasing the squirrels and Ollie keeps his eye on what the people are eating to see if he can steal something!
I sound like I am advertising the place but it really is one of my favourite places to go!
Back to work tomorrow, what happened to the week?
It will be Caravan season soon and lots of lovely camping trips in the van.
Spring is definitely on its way.
