No 13 complete: a visit to Buckingham Palace (God Save the Queen!)

Today I visited the State Rooms (19 of them) at Buckingham Palace with my Dad. Sadly we weren't able to take photos inside but it was fantastic and I'd recommend it to anyone. Each room was so grand, ornate and beautiful - I bought some postcards to remember it by. We had a timed entry at 11am and it took us about an hour and half to look round, with an audio tour and also a viewing of a special exhibition of the Queen's coronation.  

No 23 complete: Stir fry

The recent EMW conference in Aberystwyth gave me the chance to fulfill number 23 on my list - make a stir fry. Only thing is I hadn't counted on my first one being for 11 people for Sunday lunch. But with the help of Cristina and two woks plus other saucepans and dishes we managed it and with many laughs and smiles along the way. 

Ingredients: diced pork, egg noodles, beansprouts, spring onions (from my garden), garlic, ginger, soy sauce and other stir fry veg. Despite it sticking to the pans numerous times, it all got eaten, I learned loads and no one was ill - so all in all a success! I hope to make it again!

No 18 complete: ride in an open top car

The first activity completed on my list; nicely ticked off yesterday (1st Aug) as my uncle kindly gave me a spin in his new open top car (Mercedes). And it was the hottest day of the year so all smiles! The promise is to take me again as well.
