Breakfast

jingle and Ana, I usually wake between 4.30 and 5.30, so a long soak in the bath with a snack and library book helps to pass an hour or so! I have only ever dropped one book into the water, 'came clean' and paid up! Don't use my Kindle though!

I've been awake since 6.30. Am currently laying in bed using my Kindle. Too early to get up ! When I do I will have a bowl of fruit n fiber cereal and a mug of tea.

I made a smoothie, using my own blended almond milk, oats, dates, bananas, ice and this morning I added pepitos. I love smoothies and have one every morning.

Mmm. Sounds yummy, faye. I think I'd have that if it was ever warm enough here for a cold drink first thing. Down to 8° overnight so I'll stick with hot tea this morning

Full English at B&B in Essex yesterday. Will essay a full English again today, secure in the knowledge that a corkscrew is unnecessary for preparing breakfast (unless one is entertaining the President of the European Commission perhaps).

Hope you enjoy your full English again today Grumppa!

I've just had a small bowl of Fruit and Fibre. The diet begins today -again!

It's the middle of winter here baggy and was minus 1 yesterday morning and tomorrow the maximum is 14 with rain.

DH is cooking bacon , eggs and fried tomatoes . When I recover from the I'm sureI will enjoy it!

Hope you have a warm house, faye . Middle of summer here and the temp is 15°, though it is expected to go up to 16° this afternoon. I've been weeding in the garden and it actually felt lovely and warm in the sunshine.

Shysal knows how to live!

Usually a single slice of low-calorie bread toasted and sliced in half, crossed over itself, adorned with a few drops of a spicy sauce, topped with a single lonely poached egg. A sort of poor man's huevos rancheros.

Occasionally greek yoghourt, in a ramekin, topped with a handful of granola.

Yesterday it was just half a mango, because I was going out for lunch.

We have smoothies in the morning bags! What a wimp

Kick start espresso is a must have for me. Faffing about essential then breakfast this morning was two,poached eggs on ham and toast with fresh orange juice, courtesy of DH.

I love a bit of decadence Shysal

Aka have you tried Waitrose frozen Pain au Chocolat or Croissants?Absolutely straight from the best French Bistro and best I have tasted outside of France. GDs love them.

I love my breakfasts. Today two slices of toast, sliced banana, honey and cinnamon. Gorgeous.

I love breakfast too usually bran flakes with raspberries from the garden and tea sometimes add a slice of granary toast with blackcurrant jam.

Agus Are the croissants frozen too? I've had Waitrose fresh ones and I'm not particularly impressed with those.

This morning I had 3 small slices of Gfree fruit loaf, toasted, with Lurpak of course, and the usual 3 mugs of tea.

Agree with Lona though I will try the frozen ones sometime on your reccommendation. I always have 2 large mugs of tea in the morning, and see that lots of people do. For me this is a new-ish thing though, in the past I would be happy with one mug of tea, do we need more now we are older?I like Earl Grey [with milk] when it's very hot outside, then with lemon. I prefer marmalade toast to anything else for brekky.When DH cooks full English then I have that [once a week] and now and again a croissant or pain au chocolat.

Yes Lona both Pain au Chocolat and Croissants are frozen. Promise you won't be dissapointed. I have also tried so called fresh ones and they were awful. The only fresh I have found which are equal,are made by a company named Delice de France which I can buy in a local petrol station shop.

Up at 03.30 to go to work, cup of tea courtesy of DH. Slice of bread with dairylea spread. Home again at 07.30 for proper breakfast of bacon butties and more tea. More of the same tomorrow exception being I might buy a sausage sandwich from the local butcher before I come home.

I had two slices of toast and two mugs of tea. I have 2 year old rosie here for the day, so my eating needs aren't important. Rosie had toast then asked for ice cream. I managed to hold out on the ice cream until noon. Not easy with a toddler asking for it all morning!
