Plans for 2016

This year I am aim to be overoptimistic and save £100,00.  One of the ways that I am looking at achiving this is by aming to set up my own on line blog about looking into setting up a bussiness in buying and selling antique books and other literacy related items.

The thought came to me, whilts on my way home, whar do people always do?

READ!

So this is my plan for the year.

Wish me luck!

“Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning. ” ― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

“Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning. ” J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

Where is the statue of Peter Pan in London?
The Peter Pan statue is located in Kensington Gardens to the west of the Long Water. The creator of Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie, commissioned Sir George Frampton to build the statue in 1902. It was erected in Kensington Gardens in 1912.
This is why, even though I will always love  Peter Pan; it makes me said too.  This book was gifted to Great Ormand Street Hospital and to day they appear to still get Royalties and this is why.

I use to have a lovely copy of Peter Pan in my childhood, but lost it.  I now have both Peter Pan and Peter Pan in Scarlet (some where)

Why is a Raven is like a writing desk?

Carroll's answer to why a raven is like a writing desk? "Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front!" I'm sure your thighs are now sore from the repeated slapping they took after you read that line.

I love Alice in wounder land and Alice through the looking glass by Lewis Carol.  This is a book from my childhood and one that I still have a copy of today.

The Kitchen Towpath By Miss Katrina Slomczynski

Now that Spring as finally Sprung and I have to start planning life for my second child.  I have looked at what I can do with my "Spare Time".

I know that it is a Clechia and medioca but I have decided to cook.

Yes cook.  Now those that know me know that cooking is not a great art of mine.  Most of the time I only ever cook things that are precooked and come out of a tin.

I even find this exstreamly problematic due to not being able to tell the time to well and organisation myself.  But I will give it ago and see what happens.

All I can say is thank God I live on a boat.  So I have plenty of water to put out those flames.  No local neboubours to her my cursing and no microwave after burning out three in the past.

The books that I am going to use to help me with this task are listed below.

Dad's Bees The Beekeeper's Honey Recipe Book First Edition By Leonardo Canziani
(www.dadbees.co.uk)

Favorite Boating Recipes Traditional Cabin Fare.  ISBN 978-0-906198-99-5

As Presented By Gary Rhodes on BBS TV Ronald Dahl's Revolting Recipes Illustrated By Quentin Blake.  ISBN 0-09-926307-6.

At present these are the only three books that I can find on the boat and I will use them to cook for my family over the next 12 months.

My aim with in the next 12 months will be to complete my own cook book and to set up my on line store selling Naturally Sourced cooking and homeopathy ingredient from the towpath.
