Yesterday we saw the warmest day we’ve seen in a very, very long time. The usual temperature for this time of year is around 5 degrees, but lately it’s been in the minus range. But we woke up to a treat yesterday morning to the sunshine on our bed and 13 degrees filling the air. 13 degrees is usually freezing, but it seemed so warm and we just couldn’t hold off not spending a day outside.
So we first took our bikes to the local park and rode around the lake. It was heaving! Everyone was out and about in the Sun and it was a great feeling to be so warm. We then got back and decided to run up to the Grandparent’s house to use their tennis court to have a bit of a “rally” of sorts. We got back absolutely pooped from all the exercise and fresh air, it was the most we’ve had in a long time, and it was just so nice not to be shivering anymore!
As for today, it’s warmish but with no Sun which is quite sad, but tomorrow is supposed to be a sunny day for us, so fingers crossed! [:
Its that time of year when everyone comes down with the sniffles. We all suffer from the Winter blues with the grey skies and bitter winds on our cheeks. Lately I have been a little tea-maker and have discovered the delicious flavour of ginger tea. Nathan has been a bit poorly, so I’ve been making it religiously every day and have decided to share my little recipe with you. It is so simple to do.
What you need:
1) Ginger root (you can buy these at any supermarket).
2) A saucepan.
3) Honey.
4) A mug.
What you need to do:
1) Firstly you need to wash the ginger root and then peel off the outer skin/layer. Next you slice it into very thin slices, the thinner you get, the better!
2) What I tend to do next is to boil the kettle before I put the ginger slices into the saucepan. I then fill the pan with the boiling water and put it on the hob.
3) Leave the pan of water with ginger to “steep” for 10-15 minutes. This means just put it on a low heat and continue to let it boil. The longer you let it boil, the less spicy it will be.
4) At this stage I add a spoonful of honey to the boiling water to add a sweet taste to the tea.
5) When you are ready, bring it off the heat and sieve it into your mug and voila! Enjoy!
Good morning! With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I thought it’d be nice to make a post with little bits and bobs from around the web that I’ve stumbled across. [:
