| A very empty car park otherwise always full...outside Morrisons (supermarket). Long queues outside with 2 meters distance between shopper and barricades to help with that...today the death toll took a big jump. We have still a lot to come... |

| This blog should have been published yesterday but something went wrong. We went for another long walk and passed the leisure centre and it´s football pitch. Empty of course in spite of a dog walker who had it all to himself. The Blorenge in the background as beautiful as ever. The only April fool joke I saw here in Abergavenny yesterday was that someone offered to be a manual (driven) ferry across the river Usk since there is only one bridge over here in Abergavenny and due to the corona virus we need to keep a distance. Joke aside, really not a bad idea at all. |
 |
| We have been walking around Abergavenny town and really explored our new hometown. A lot of closed doors now. I really liked this door since we will have to change our front door soon and need some light to come through it... |

| We have been trying to cook really nice dinners since the outbreak and lockdown. This is lamb meatballs. I usually make my own but Waitrose (upmarket supermarket here in the UK) had a special offer that we could not resist. More minty than mine but my husband made a lovely tomato sauce with garlic and a bit of chili to go with it. Penne suited the dish well. Very tasty. |
 |
| I normally make my own muesli, this week it became more important than ever. Roast oats with other seeds, like quinoa, sesame etc, and chopped nuts for about 20 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius (normal oven). Cool down and mix with dried fruits of your choice. Crispy and delicate for your breakfast yogurt. |
 |
| It was time to make a new bottle of garlic oil. Chop some fresh garlic cloves (skin off, put in a clean bottle and top up with olive oil. Leave from a couple or days or more, preferably in the window sill where the infusion will go faster due to the warmth from the sunshine. Use were you want to add a garlicky taste to your food, salad or vegetables. Easy peasy! |
 |
| Made some Celeriac Remoulade for a starter yesterday! Cut the celeriac into long thin strips. Cook in salted water for 3 minutes. Mix mayo with garlic and a touch of french mustard. Mix with the cooled down celeriac. Serve with some parsley on top. More tomorrow from lockdown week two here in Abergavenny, Wales, UK. |
