The UK has seen a terrifying increase in costs for heating and cooking. In the middle of summer, heating seems like something to not worry about. But the latest estimates are that a family who are paying £300 in the summer, will be paying £500 by October and £550 by January. As a family we were only paying £100 at the start of the year. That’s a five fold increase!
In the midst of this our UK Prime Minister has been forced to resign, which leads people to wondering what – and who - comes next, and I struggle to see how we won’t have a Summer, and Autumn, of strikes and protests as poverty bites ever harder on the poorest people of our nation, which is rapidly spreading to those with greater wealth as bills grow, while wages shrink rapidly by comparison with rising living costs.

Got out before it got too hot. And I even beat my best time yet, yes!!!!🙂
Strava is a bit out as I forgot to hit start until I was a wee bit from home.
Still, my route was virtually, entirely, car free and the sea was beautiful, with the waves crashing against the shore - despite it being the school run time

@Pablito it's beautiful stuff
It's made with lemon juice, sugar, butter and eggs.
We use it on toast but it was was the traditional topping for an English cream tea (clotted cream, a cup of tea, scones (you call them biscuits) and lemon curd)
You can substitute lemon juice for orange or like juice...it's quite popular over here 😊
And, now, some homemade lemon curd, too, courtesy of oldest son 😊

@Berrybunchfamily great thanks! Just got back from a lovely family holiday so feeling rested ☺️☀️ 🏖
Not a bad day today!
Jo had a run with Peter, while I had cycleed: only 2 mins over my normal 9.5 mile route, so happy with that as I felt tired & didn't try much
Jo, and I, then, cycled together to the coast - and back - which was great, although the sun was a little warmer than we prefer at 12pm!!
Played Risk as a family, movie night over dinner, with home made, oven, chips with chicken thighs 😊
And I made a Victoria sandwich cake for dessert, with chocolate rather than the usual vanilla. Including chocolate flavoured icing, with dark chocolate sprinkles on top, and some raspberry jam.
Little bit of Foyles War to watch before we retire to bed, and a busy week ahead of us, with plenty of editing from a full day of filming on Saturday - which I've missed lots through our end of seasons break for the last month or so.
So, right now I'm a bit tired, but am also satisfied and happy with a lovely Family Focus together before Peter went off to bed.
Today has been a good day!

Hey DingDash family!! How is everyone?? Crazy busy couple of months and I’ve not posted in soooo long!!
When all other lights go out
Let’s face it, life can be difficult and can throw us some low ballers or a curveball – something unexpected or deceptive that confuses, thwarts, or outwits us. Like a curveball in baseball which is difficult to hit or a low ball in rounders which is against the rules if below the knee, situations come at us, sometimes ‘out of the blue’ and it’s hard and it hurts.
On a global scale we have faced and are still facing the effects of Covid, nations are dealing with war and famine, communities are confronted by anti-social behaviour, violence, and crime and in our own homes we may also have to live with hostility, pain, and heartache for all kinds of reasons.
In the UK, like many countries, we are currently dealing with increased fuel costs, making travel to work, among other things, more expensive. And [READ MORE]
