    Looks a fantastic parkup at Coniston. Although I'd definitely stagger out of bed in the morning and end up broken and bemused on the lake shore!
    If like me, pizza's one of your dietary staples, you should think about getting an electric pizza oven. Ours is only 1200W, gets stupidly hot in less than 10 mins and will cook a whole fresh pizza in about 6 mins. 😋
    Also, I like Amika's style: clear half your plate to make way for the ketchup! 🤘😂
