Jack masters the Cargo Net!

Two trips to the park in two days! Jack must think all his birthdays and christmases have come at once! But since Daddy needs the space and the quiet to get on with the DIY, and as the weather is good, it seems foolish NOT to go to the park!

Today Jack figured out the cargo net on the toddlers climbing frame. He'd watched another older girl be tought how to climb up by her dad - and she wasn't having any of it despite him giving her very good instructions. As soon as they moved off he wanted a go!

I gave him a helping hand the first couple of times he went up, showing not to over reach his legs, giving him a push on the bum to get an extra bit of lift... but it was only a short period of time before he had it sorted!

So now it's up the net, across the bridge and down the slide instead of just up the steps. If only I could convince him to WALK over the bridge instead of crawl....

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
