National Sausage Week

On Tuesday my husband asked "do we need anything in town?" My reply "yes, sausages from the market". At this point in the conversation he stopped and looked at me quizzically. "Any reason why?" he asked. Well, surely it was obvious. It's National Sausage Week in the UK (2nd -8th November), the reason it had to be from the market is because Dave Joinson, the butcher is donating 50 pence for every pound of sausages sold this week to Cancer Research.

As is often the case my husband indulged me in my randomness and we went and bought 6 award winning pork and apple sausages from the market.

We had them for our dinner last night with mash, peas and gravy. The perfect comfort food meal to be eaten when the weather is so cold and wet outside.

  4. Mmmmm.... I'm hungry now!! It's lovely to have a husband who is supprtive of randomness - I'm blessed that way too :-) (Well, mostly. Occasionally he really doesn't get it, doesn't want to get it, won't get it. Mostly he humours me though.)
