Friendly Friday Challenge: special treats
The Friendly Friday Challenge is a fortnightly challenge co-hosted by Amanda from Something to Ponder About and Sandy from The Sandy Chronicles.
This year the girls are are opening up the challenge, making its focus not purely on photography but making it a little more varied, a little more open and interesting.
They will take it in turns to post a topic to inspire us to feature a story, a photo, a recipe or anything else that captures our imagination. This week’s challenge is Special Treats – so appropriate in these challenging times.
My beloved husband and I quickly established a routine during the pandemic which makes the most of what we have and what we can do. We’ve tried to recreate the enjoyment of dining out at home with plenty of special treats, particularly over the Christmas period. We’ve also continued our Friday night apéro before settling down to enjoy Friday Music Night. We’ve also dined al fresco whenever possible even if it is only in the lounge!
In addition, we’ve made the most of the good weather by getting out on our bikes to visit some of our favourite spots.
You can post once, twice or as many times as you’re inspired by the topic.

I love getting “the good silverware” out 🙂 I am coming to your place for aperitivo! Sure beats my bowl of chips and if I am lucky, some cashews 😀
