BBQ goodness

Another week, another theme – National Barbecue Week.

What’s your go to BBQ food?
Me – chicken & ham kebabs, potato salad, chips, layered garden salad. Not really a steak or snag girl. Much prefer chicken kebabs or maybe even a bit of seafood.

Keep an eye out over the next few weeks, cause I’ll be sharing the kebab recipe and the salad recipe.

Bank holidays

Today is apparently a Bank Holiday in the UK. Sadly not a holiday here. BUT there is a rumour going around that the next Bank Holiday in the UK (in August) will be when the new series of Doctor Who starts. Namely cause of this 15 second teaser trailer

*SQUEE* means a new bubby & new Doctor Who in the same month!
