This month I've had two activities in one week-end!
The first was my Dinner Party for friends of my parents - John & Marilyn and Libs and Carol. I invited them round some time ago and decided on a menu. After some discussion with Mum, I settled on a starter of an unusual salad, salmon with stirfry vegetables and a desert of double layer chocolate cake with fresh summer fruit. It went really well and I was complemented on my cooking!
Then Sunday, we did stage 4 of the Walk - from Hackney Wick to Beckton. We walked past the Olympic building site - it was fascinating - and then had a really nice 5 mile stroll on some sewage pipes during which I told Dad the Facts of Life. Surprising how little he knows! The only drawback was that when we got to the end, we discovered that Royal Albert DLR Station (and the whole DLR network) was closed and so we ended up in East Ham.
I'm now thinking about May - and on top of another walk, may try to explore the East End and start a 'Care in The Community' project
