We had a lovely day, playing badminton in the morning, snuggling up on the sofa watching a film in the afternoon and then spending time making a special meal. The tradition in our family is that on special days you're allowed to choose whatever meal you want. So as my present to hubby, Lucy and I made St James Steak Pie with creamy mash and buttered veg, followed by apple crumble. All home-made of course. The gravy that the steak had slow cooked in was sieved and used as the gravy for the pie and hubby was in absolute heaven !!

It's always lovely to see how much he enjoys proper food. For the whole meal for three of us (and half the pie is left for him tonight) it probably cost about £10 including a bottle of wine. How much would that cost in a restaurant??
We also spent time picking the green tomatoes and remains of the courgettes. Out of thirty or more tomato plants, we've only actually had about ten red ones.....so the remaining crop will be made into chutney. I'm gutted - we spent so much time on the plants that to have had so little bounty from them is disheartening.
