This Granola is amazing, but then it would be because it comes from the cook book, Cook Eat Smile, by Bill Collison.
Sam's graduation from Portsmouth University
This is my eldest son Sam, he is 27. I think it is fair to say that he didn't have an easy ride at school. He is mildly Dyslexic and struggled mainly due to a handful of teachers and a poor school that annihilated his confidence.

Chastleton House
A rare gem of a jacobean country house, Chastleton House was built between 1607 and 1612 by a prosperous wool merchant as an impressive statement of wealth and power. Owned by the same increasingly impoverished family until 1991, the house remained essentially unchanged for nearly 400 years as the interiors and contents gradually succumbed to the ravages of time.
Broadway
Broadway is one of the most beautiful Cotswold villages, situated at the Gateway to the Cotswolds It has a wide high street lined with horse chestnut trees, contains a mixture of period houses and picturesque honey coloured Cotswold stone cottages which have lured visitors for centuries. The street through Broadway was an ancient 'ridgeway' and and the main road from Worcester to London. It remains a wide street or 'broad way' hence the name.
I'm all for five day weekends.
I love weekends, especially the ones where you have done everything during the week, all that is left to do is have a nice time for two days.This weekend was one of those, we had my youngest son and his girlfriend visit, we saw nice things, ate nice things, enjoyed each others company, and we managed to fit in the all important relaxing doing nothing. However I feel all that was lacking was three more days.
More mason jars, and a blog recommendation.
Do you do stockings?
Dont forget to take time out.
