I have 5 days to wait to get away in the van just struggling to get the car booked into a garage for repairs due to deferred MOts so will just have to mothball it until we get back shopping on my mobility trike is going to be fun

Should have been heading up to Cumbria for a week or so but alas the dog had me up twice during the night again with Diarrhea.
So just returned from the vets, chicken & rice, small quantities 4/5 times a day for at 48 hours and a clay paste with probiotics or similiar.
If ok after the 48 hours wean her back onto her normal food very gradually. If still poorly it’s blood and poo samples/tests at £190.00 each.
she has lost 1kg since last week but he said health wise she appears excellent so fingers crossed she improves ASAP and I can get away for a few days.
bloody dog ! More trouble than kids lol.

I bought mussels in white wine sauce just in case you failed miserably

 

[mr brown]

i once ate about a kilo of those after going cockling with a Portuguese fisherman . he just lit a fire in the sand , put an old bit of tin on it and piled them on . when they opened they were done . lovely !

Head of foraging has done us proud, fresh picked mussels and crusty bread..... Thanks Colin.

The dogfish (shark family) and whiting were really tasty, Annie. Both have a subtle taste, the whiting a little like plaice. The dogfish (aka rock eel and/or rock salmon in London) took me back to my childhood when my Mum used to cook it for us. Delicious, with a small central cartilage rather than bones.
Dawn did a great job of cooking the mussels (from the shipwreck) in sautéed onion, white wine etc. And served with Giraffe bread!
Don't panic, Annie - I'll be collecting more mussels and cockles once you arrive.
