About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

Summer Eating


Now that the weather is finally getting warmer and the evenings are light I find myself wanting salads again. My cravings for soups, stews and mashed potato are vanishing and my thoughts are turning to barbecues and picnics. The problem for me is not the food but the associated drink that goes with these events. I love a barbecue but one glass of wine soon leads to another (and another) until I am dangerously low on points.

Last night we had a barbecue and the food we cooked were

Low fat sausages
Low fat burgers
Chicken breasts
Lamb steaks

These were served with lots of salad and new potatoes dry roasted with chilli and garlic.
