Beano gets more walks in the summer than in the winter. It's not the weather, we neither of us mind the cold. It's the shortness of the daylight hours.
I'm not prepared to risk life and limb trying to cross a very busy road in the dark. I do have some hi-vis clothing but to be honest the cars and lorries whizz past at such speed it would be dangerous.
So after dark Beano and I walk around the nearest close, it's a cul de sac so there is very little traffic. There is also a large patch of grass nearby that Beano can sniff around. I'm sure it's the safest way.
It's Mothers day here in the UK today so there have been lots of cars in and out of the car park. I'd already seen two of my children on Friday and my oldest son messaged me to say he is away but will visit soon.
I'm cooking roast chicken with stuffing, roast potatoes, carrots, sprouts and purple sprouting broccoli. Steve won't eat the vegetables but I will enjoy them.

I hope that you have had a happy Mother’s Day. Like you I don’t see my children all the time so it is extra special when they get in touch on ‘special’ days. Your meal sounds delicious. We have a lovely neighbour joining us this evening as his wife is away visiting family in Australia and we are having a piece of beef. I’m in charge of the Yorkshire puddings. This is a rare treat for us. Best wishes from Northern Ireland x
Your meal sounds lovely! I'm sure you enjoyed it. We had brisket cooked in the slow cooker, potatoes, swede (which we always knew as turnip!), carrots & peas and cabbage, with Yorkshire puddings. I made a bread and butter pudding for afters. I'm glad you got to see some of your family on Friday. My daughters got me flowers and an amazon gift voucher. Hope you had a really nice Mother's day.
Happy Mother's Day! Bun in USA
