When Bean Came to Stay



Outside florian florist on western road - gorgeous Mother's Day selections
What a lovely weekend I had.  I didn't really get to see much of G but I feel like I achieved loads.  It was such glorious weather I spent the day outside on Saturday in the garden tidying, fixing the shed roof, planting some bulbs and taking a load of junk to the dump.

It feels so good to get rid of loads of rubbish and make everything a bit tidier.  I then came inside, made a cake, tidied up and hoovered the whole house.  A real spring clean!

On Saturday evening Bean came to stay....so lovely to have her over.  We didn't do anything on Saturday night apart from chat and eat a tasty thai dinner that I made, but it was just nice to have her here.

On Sunday morning we tucked into a yummy breakfast that I had prepared of yogurt, oats, rhubarb and blueberries! Very healthy and tasty.

After checking out the fab article in this months Simple Things and doing some quick Google searches we went armed with a number of different new places we could try. 

The fantastic places we found were Mr Wolfe for a tasty coffee,  Dowse for some greetings cards, Sushi Garden for some lunch and Present (only opened this week) for a look at some gifts.

Cute sign that drew us in to have a look in Dowse Gallery and Shop

Giggling Squid



After so much food over the last couple of weeks the only option is really to eat a bit more! We spent the last 2 days of 2013 with G's parents and on Monday night (30th) they took us to Reigate for a gorgeous Thai meal.

We went to the Giggling Squid and had a lovely time.  I am so enjoying Thai food and would definitely go back to a Giggling Squid (they are dotted all over Kent, Sussex and Surrey).

We would recommend:

Finger Food Platter A lovely set of spring rolls, prawns on toast, golden parcels and pork dumpling.

Chicken Satay Succulent marinated chicken grilled on skewers. Served with peanut sauce, a cucumber and shallot relish.

Paneang Chicken Curry
Pa-neang is another form of red curry. Thicker with coconut milk and grounded peanut. Also Pa-naeng has stronger fragrance from finely sliced lime leaves.

Chicken Pad Prik (chilli paste, bean and Kaffir lime leaf)
Stir-fry red curry paste, Thai long bean and lime leaf NUT
