1st July 2016 "The Battle of The Somme"
Today is the First Time that I have boggled since moving house with my children and becoming a "Full-Time" "Single Mum".
But what dose that really mean?
I have not really cooked in over 4 months and used nature to inspire my cooking with the swans poking there heads onto my kitchen for a few tiny morales.
When I look over the last years of my life before my 33rd Birthday on 4th July 2016 I think of how much my children miss there farther.
And then I think of all of those people who lost there their fathers and prayed for them to home.
My children's father does not live with us and it is not because he his in the armed forces fighting for Queen and Country. It is because we currently live in a world where people are encouraged to be "single parents".
For almost three years we tried to stay together and raise our children as a couple BUT over the last 4 months I have done so on my own.
This is due to not being able to raise my children no a narrow boat which was their home due to the way that we where being unfairly treated by Canal and River Trust.

But today I do not think about this I think about those that gave their lives in the hope of a better future.

Sadly I will be unable to make it due to picking up my son from Nursery at 17.30 and having to use public transport to do so.
The information about the event should hopefully be displayed on Nuneaton Memories Page on Facebook.

To night I will probable cook fish and chips, this is due to it being a "traditional" meal of Great Britain.
Once I have got organised I will try to get back to my "Towpath Cooking" I have just started to prepare the Elderflower to make home made wines and tinchers. This is what I miss about living on the boat being able to just wake up in the morning and steep out side my front door and be any where in the UK.
Being able to see the sun rise and sunset over the water and hear the song of bird call fill the air.
