I went to see my decrepid old gran, who’s reaching 100 soon.. We took her to the Garden center for lunch, it’s quite nice there. English weather still get’s me though, if you sit in the shade, and there’s a breeze you need to put a jacket on..but if you move out into the sun […]

A Trip to Worcester City Center & The Cathedral
You can’t beat starting the day with a nice egg and bacon sandwich with freshly made homestyle wholemeal bread and a dribble of HP Sauce. The weather wasn’t great in the morning so I just hung around at home, had some light lunch and headed into the city. Planning to check out the cathedral and […]
An 8km Walk up the Malvern Hills
So after the hearty pub lunch we took a rather long stroll up to the top of the Malvern Hills, one of the oldest hills in the UK. We parked at the North Quarry and walked up to the beacon, the highest point in the range. As it’s towards the end of summer a lot […]
The Trip Home & A Pub Lunch in Malvern
Well after missing my connecting flight and being stuck in Dubai airport for a grand total of 10 hours, I finally made it home, trip time around 25 hours.. Let’s just say I was pretty tired, but not too bad as I got leg room on both flights, yay! The second one was surprisingly empty, […]
Things I miss about UK – A walk in the country
UK has nice weather for walking, it’s not humid, it’s not hot, it can be sunny and bright, but crisp and pleasant, you don’t get overly hot when walking, but you can get a little chilly when resting. Always take a jumper or jacket! While I was back in the UK I took the opportunity […]
Toad in the Hole – Sausages and Yorkshire Pudding
Sounds weird eh? Named after the way it looks with the sausages poking out of the Yorkshire pudding, I love Yorkshire pudding, it’s weird, it’s soggy and crispy all at once, and it’s not a pudding, it’s savoury.. Anyway to make it you need some lard or oil for the pan, eggs, flour and milk […]

Anyway thanks to everyone for their support! Settled back in, now to resume where I left off, only a couple more dishes […]
Pork Chops, Stuffing and Cauliflower Cheese!
This cauliflower cheese is dedicated to ..Yeah I ate enough for him too, don’t worry! Apologies for the earlier post, I got mixed up, those were lamb chops not pork chops, lamb chops are a lot smaller. Lamb chops with mint sauce, pork chops with apple sauce, just remember that. Take some proper farm pork […]
Baked Potatoe & Worcester Porcelain – Classic!
Well after that feast at the River I was still kinda full for breakfast so I skipped it and had a nice solid lunch, classic British Baked potatoe with bacon, baked beans and grated cheddar cheese. Prepare a few simple ingredients. We have one of those fancy Microwave + conventional oven affairs, which are perfect […]
My Mom’s Garden – Idyllic
As a break from all the food, I’m all eaten out…(Don’t worry 3-4 meals yet to come)..I’ll feature my mom’s garden. My mom loves her garden, I like it too.. It’s nothing like our old garden, which was 120ft long and contained all kinds of stuff, loads of flowers plus 2 apple trees, 2 plum […]
