This month was so busy, we have new bedside tables and we did a little bit of DIY in the caravan. We had a trip with the caravan at Hadrian’s Wall and it was even better than expected, amazing views and lots of nice places to see. I got to use an honesty box again and I really love those. I watched the Olympics and I was so happy with the results team GB had. We found an international shop with lots of interesting produce, things I never tried before, like plantain and a couple of Romanian items. We also went to the Chinese shop and I bought lots of things from there too. As you can see half of my Intagram feed was food. Bake Off started and I’m baking along, like last year. It’s so exciting.
Day 214. Festus, after his 2nd dinner. I forgot to tell my husband I already fed him. Day 215. Vegan porridge with homemade strawberry and blueberry jam, chopped prunes and edible flowers. Day 216. Another one of my Clematis was in bloom. Day 217. Vegan smoothie, still having a smoothie/soup every day since I started the smoothie challenge on 1st June. Day 218. I tryied Cava, it’s a good alternative to Champagne. Day 219. New bedside tables were installed and I was so happy with them, hence the picture. Day 220. True Brit nail polish, gray. I’m so happy with the colour, looks fab. Day 221. Shopping spree from a Chinese supermarket, lots of new ingredients to try. Day 222. I watched the finale at gymnastics.

Liverpool docks, where we walked after not finding a place at the rooftop terrace we wanted to go to. Day 230. Dark chocolate, wine and The Walking Dead, the perfect night-in. Day 231.
