Midlife Vlog - preparing ahead: both healthy food and being an empty nester once again

Hello Rare Birds, After all the fun and fripperies of my day in London with Poppy, it's back to reality, and for me this means healthy eating on a budget. I cook two things in this vlog: Easy Lentil Bolognaise from Deliciously Ella, Healthy Made Simple: https://amzn.to/4jLiMqA plus an unbelievably easy Homemade Tomato Sauce. If you like the yellow lemon squeezer, here's one just like it: https://amzn.to/3SPU0e7 (the above links are affiliate) In the garden, you'll see that the kiwi vine has thrown up some surprises and I show you how to prune an ordinary shrub to create a more architectural effect. Meanwhile, back on the sofa, Quincy demonstrates her finely honed hunting skills (prepare to be astonished).
