Week 29 of 2020: Cheesecake and Waffles
This week has mainly been about eating, everything from a cheesecake and a cooked breakfast to waffles and a cream tea! I dread to think the number of calories I have consumed.
No experiments this week. With it being the last week of school they didn’t set any new tasks which freed up a fair bit of time. Although I have a couple of science experiments planned during the summer because I am wondering how we will fill so many weeks otherwise!
My son finished primary school this week. It is kind of a big milestone and I was worried it would go uncelebrated. But fortunately, the school managed to throw them a little social distanced picnic. They have missed so many things this year that I am glad the school found a way to help them mark the occasion. It might not have been a prom, however it was still very special. All the children left with big smiles on their faces. I am very grateful to my son’s teacher and all the helpers for making it happen.
Waffles
To celebrate school (and home-school) finishing for summer we went out for waffles. They were amazing, prepare to have your mouth water looking at the photo below!
Breakfast In A Train Carriage
I was quite excited to have breakfast on a train carriage (see my feature picture). It was a bit of a novelty. To be honest it has done us the world of good doing a few different things this week. We needed some variety as we have covered most of the walks in our area.
Cream Scone
It’s nice more and more tearooms are opening up, making the most of their outside space. It felt safe eating out, the tables were well spaced and there was plenty of hand sanitiser available. I had this epic cream scone. It was very indulgent. My husband and my youngest son had ice cream sundaes. The only issue with not allowing people indoors in Wales is if the weather turns. So, I hope Wales revaluates that soon. As we have a fair bit of rain!
Bilberry Cheesecake
I mentioned our bilberry picking session in my week 28 update. I also promised a picture if the Bilberry Cheesecake turned out okay! Well my husband did an incredible job and I am delighted to be able to share a photo! The cheesecake was very tasty especially the bilberry compote on top. We might have to go bilberry picking again soon, I want that compote on lots of other things, especially pancakes!
What a lovely last week you have had. That food looks amazing! I’m glad your lad had something to remember his time from school with.
Ohh! I do like the sound of a week of eating! Stuff the calories, it’s the last week of school, you deserve all the treats.
How lovely your son got to celebrate finishing primary school with a picnic.
Those waffles look amazing and the breakfast and scone!! I am not a massive fan of cheesecake but that looks so good. x
The bilberry cheesecake looks amazing. It’s good that the school made a way for them to celebrate the end of year 6 – it would be a shame to miss out all together.
Ooh lots of delicious foods. Those waffles and scone look delicious. So nice the school did a picnic for them. My nephew had a leaving assembly on the field with parents doing a drive in sitting in cars.
Oh, just look at that cheesecake! I’m very envious of your bilberry picking. Lots of delicious foods – the scone looks lush, and the waffles are lovely too (not sure what those bits are next to marshmallows? Are they pieces of kitkats?)
How wonderful that school celebrated the end of the primary school with a picnic.
I think its broken up kinder bueno bar not kitkats, either way was very tasty! Trying to use all my willpower not to have a return trip too soon! x
What a lovely last week you have had. That food looks amazing. So tasty. I’m glad your boy had something to remember his time from school with. It is such a difficult time for them x
Lovely yummy food especially the cheesecake. I’ve had a terrible week with junk food, cakes, ice cream also. The end of school picnic sounds a fab idea
Your post has made me hungry with all those pictures of such yummy-looking food. I’m glad that school were able to have some kind of celebration for the children leaving primary school – it is such a shame that they’ve missed out on so much this year. #project366
Memories! Monumental moments, shared experiences. School Days etc do have some “Rites of Passage “, etc. Can be a time of bonding experience /s, social support from class – mates / pals . Considerate and practical to mark the end of Primary School Days with a picnic outdoors. Well Done!
Cheesecake looks and sounds :- Delicious!
Sounds like a delicious week!! I am very impressed with the cream tea and the cheesecake. Great that you still managed a celebration for your youngest. It does feel like we have all missed out on so many milestones this year x
Those waffles look amazing, mind you, you have had a lovely week of delicious food. How lovely you son got to do a social distance picnic to celebrate the end of the year
Oh how lovely the school threw a socially distanced picnic!
Those waffles look amazing!
Don’t worry about the calories. Enjoy the delicious meals. Congrats to your son finishing pre-school, so nice of the school to arrange a picnic. You’re tempting me with all the meals, especially the cheesecake
