Vitamin D

Taking a walk at the beautiful Tankerton Slopes

Getting outside helps you to get vitamin d, which is important for your bones, blood cells and immune system. Sunlight helps your body make vitamin d and this helps your body absorb certain minerals like calcium.

Getting out and about in the sunlight even just for 15 minutes really helps and remember that in the winter you might even need to get outside a little bit more.

American Pancakes

These delicious easy to make american pancakes are a regular in our house. The children have loved learning to make them from a young age and will now make them for us; it’s nice treat from them to me on a Sunday Morning.

Ingredients

100g Self Raising Flour
2 tbsp Golden Caster Sugar
1 Egg
¼ pint Whole Milk

Method

Mix together sugar, golden caster sugar together in a jug.
Place the egg into the flour mixture and start to mix with a whist or fork.
Gradually add in the milk ensuring that you continue to mix to create a smooth batter.
Heat a non-stick frying pan to medium-high heat.
Pour in a small amount of the mixture until you get your desired pancake size.
When you start to see bubble appear over most of the pancake carefully turn using a flexible turner (silicone one are good).
Leave for approximately 30 more seconds to let the pancake rise and brown the bottom.
Place to cooked pancakes into a folded tea towel, this will keep them nice and warm until you have cooked them all.
Serve pancake with your choice of toppings, my boys love chocolate drops, maple syrup or ice cream. I love strawberries and maple syrup.
You can keep these in a sealed bag for a couple of days. Then eat them cold or heat for a short while in the toaster.

It’s not always glamorous

This was the most dressed up I got all weekend as between the friends birthday celebrations I have; painted the hall way at my Dad’s, cleaned the house, done the ironing, cooked lots of food, been tidying in the garden and more – all in really stuffy clothes. So it was so lovely to to get dressed up and go out n’ drink way too much then get a taxi home 😂🤪😁

Your health

There is nothing better than walking into the sunset 🧡 Today has been a day of sitting and working at my laptop. So this evening the need to get outside not only for my physical health but my mental health was an absolute must. And the bonus of the husband, one son + fish and chips made it perfect.

It’s always worth looking at something from another perspective.

Wanderlust

Wandering the quaint streets in Rye and found some excellent antique shops to explore.

Just my son and I with no plan just a desire to explore.

Rye is a beautiful cinque port in East Sussex with cobbled streets and lots of bespoke shops, cafes and restaurants.

If your looking for something British to do when traveling from overseas then this is a great place to visit.

Mini adventure

So today we decided that we would stay fairly local when exploring. After getting in the car and picking a direction we ended up in Whitstable.

We were on a mission to get some food having skipped breakfast and we reached The Lobster Shack. With a fabulous menu it was a hard choice they even had a BBQ outside with freshly barbecued fish if you wished. As it was a beautiful day we opted to sit outside; both inside and outside were busy but there were still lots tables available with people coming and going frequently. The service was extremely fast and there was a good system for ordering food and drinks.

Already planning another visit with my brother and sister in law when they are next visiting Kent.

To let our food go down we walked along the Tankerton Slopes and back, this is an easy gentle walk on the flat so accessible for everyone. Sometimes the unplanned things are the best.
