Daughter and I baked cheese straws with red Leicester cheese, and John Barrowman's banana bread recipe. Both were amazingly tasty but the banana bread was out of this world! We had such fun making the dishes too. We should bake more often.

Today I took the first client out for Walking for Wellbeing and just got so much out of it. Not only did we cover 8.4 miles of beautiful countryside but she talked pretty much the whole way around and made some real tangible progress. The whole experience has given me such happiness and there's more to come in the future.

It was daughter's birthday yesterday. She's now a teenager, which I was expecting to make me feel old but I was bouyed by two people giving me huge compliments about how young I look! She was very happy all day, got some lovely gifts and we had a meal out at the Chinese buffet which we both really enjoyed.
