Good Friday

Parkers Arms

On Good Friday we went out to the Parkers Arms for dinner it was delicious! 🙂 ☺

When we got there we got some special treats, which were:

  • Smoked cod roe with sourdough
  • Potato skins
  • Fish croquettes
  • Lancashire cheese croquettes

After that we ordered drinks and I had apple juice, for my starter I had fish goujons with wild garlic sauce and salad.

Afterwards we had our main course, I had a fish potpie, which included cod, haddock, shrimp, scallop and wild garlic (which we went out looking for after dinner),  with seaweed, peas and mash.

When we finished we went for a walk near the river and collected lots of wild garlic and I tried to climb up some trees. It was very difficult!

How to make Mothers Day Flowers

This is how I made some flowers and a vase:

What you will need:

  • 1 toilet roll tube
  • Wrapping paper
  • 8 cupcake cases
  • 4 long (8 short) pipe cleaners
  • Felt tips
  • Hole punch
  • Sellotape
  • Scissors

 

Method

  1. Decorate the cupcake cases.
  2. Cover the toilet roll in wrapping paper and sellotape in place.
  3. Hole punch the cupcake cases in the middle.
  4. Fold the pipe cleaners in half to make 2 stems out of each.
  5. Put the pipe cleaners through the holes and fold the end then sellotape it in place.
  6. Twist the the pipe cleaners together.
  7. Insert into vase.

I made these for my Grandma for Mothers Day. I hope she likes them! 🙂
