A Healthy Breakfast
As a family we do love our organic oats. I make Healthy Flapjacks with oats to take out as a snack and every morning Daddy makes three large bowls of porridge. You wouldn’t be wrong for mistakenly thinking we are the three bears in Goldilocks.
I thought we’d stop eating porridge during the summer months but we just kept going! I like my summer porridge breakfast with a topping of grated apple and cinnamon or with a handful of summer berries (which turn the porridge a delightful red colour).
And in winter a good bowl of porridge with raisins keeps us going throughout the morning.
Porridge is so easy to make. Gently heat some milk in a pan, add the oats and some water, sprinkle in some raisins and gently keep stirring as the oats soak up the liquid and the raisins soften. A delicious and healthy breakfast!
Home in London with Daddy
We were barely off the plane from New Zealand before Imogen was asking to go to the park to play on the swings and slide. As soon as the sun was up and we’d eaten our porridge we went out to our local park in London.
Imogen ran to the park with such enthusiasm, her little legs moving so fast. She wanted to show Daddy how she could climb the ladder to the slide after having plenty of practice playing in parks with her grandparents in New Zealand.
Seeing Imogen and her Daddy back together after eight weeks was incredible, they’d both missed one another so much. Between cuddles and play Imogen and Daddy are constantly chatting away about the adventures she had on holiday.
After lots of fresh air, sunshine and play it was time for a banana and drink before heading to Canary Wharf for a sandwich. We were lucky to have such beautiful weather and made the most of being outdoors.
Imogen was tired out after playing and had a nap soon after lunch so hubby and I enjoyed a leisurely walk along the River Thames before going home.
