Round and round the garden...

like me ;D
I went home for Cherry season for the reason.

I had a Summer holiday,before Summer in England comes.

I enjoyed sitting in the sun, having conversations with my Mum and Dad.
Bruno and Aisha ,2 attention seekers ;) loved eating cherries too and enjoyed playing...

Cherries are getting more red every day and Strawberries too...Roses are blooming beautifully.

Birds are singing...we are so lucky to have them...It is the first thing you hear in the morning and last, before you go to sleep...

Can you guess where my home is ? ;)

Out and about - part III

Highclere Clastle, Newbury, West Berkshire

Do you watch Downton Abbey? I really like it and I always wanted to go to Highclere Castle. But with a toddler in a historic place where you have to be careful not to touch anything? Yes, why not :-).

As usual I packed loads of stuff for my little one - for those just in case events: second set of clothes, drink, Hipp meal, healthy biscuits, fruits, nappies, nappy bags, cream, some toys... . We went there on a Sunday and bought the ticket there and then. It's actually not too expensive. Once you enter the castle you have to leave the pram in the hallway (which is ok otherwise you would have to carry the bulky thing up and down the stairs). You are not exploring the castle on your own but go from room to room where someone will explain things about the TV series as well as the "real" Downton Abbey (unfortunately you are not allowed to take pictures). The castle is smaller than I thought but it's really nice to be there and see some of the rooms that we came to life on TV and get a feeling of that time.
We also enjoyed the garden grounds afterwards.

Even the sun came out so we had a picnic with sandwiches and biscuits again. My little princess liked our day out although she was pretty tired afterwards and fell asleep on our way back :-). It's definitely worth a visit!

Stir-fry with chicken, mushrooms and broccoli.

Hello all,
recently I spend lots of time cooking. I try new things, mix ingredients which I haven't tried or used before.
Today I fancied something more exotic, oriental like stir-fry. You can make stir- fry in million ways, my favorite is with chicken, mushrooms and broccoli.

To make my stir-fry you will need:
- 100 g of egg noodles
- 1 large chicken breast
- 1/4 tbs of black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbs of olive oil
- 150 g of broccoli
- 10 mushrooms
- spring onions ( as much as you like)

sauce:
- 5 tbs of light soya sauce
- 3 tbs of water
- 3 tbs of lemon juice
- 3 tbs of sugar
- 1/2 of cornstarch

You will have to boil noodles for about 3 min. Slice your chicken breast, add some salt, pepper and garlic and olive oil. Wash and cut your mushrooms, broccoli and spring onions. To prepare your sauce pour soya sauce, water, lemon juice, sugar and cornstarch into bowl. Mix it well. Ina wok fry your chicken breast for about 5 min, add mushrooms and broccoli and fry it all for another 5 min. Add boiled noodles to your mixture fry it for little longer and add your sauce, mix it well. And that's it.

Simple, quick and delicious :)
Enjoy

Holiday

Hi everyone!
I'm so happy because couple days ago I bought plane tickets to Poland. That's my second holiday in my country and this time I'm going for 3 weeks...very excited. My family can't wait... of course they can't wait to see my little ONE, they are missing her so much. It's very difficult for them that we live so far away. I wish to change that but for now I can't.
Im gonna enjoy every minute. Wish me good weather.
