So today I’m in Stafford because Helen has an assessment day for the police which is being held at Stafford University. I dropped her off there about 30 minutes ago and then decided to pop into the town centre to see what’s around. It was 8:30 so all the shops were pretty much shut apart from the coffee shops, some discount shops and McDonalds. I was quite hungry and really needed a coffee so I thought I’d grab a McDonalds breakfast!

Anyway, whilst ordering I noticed a sign saying free WiFi, so I got my laptop out and here I am, on free WiFi in McDonalds! It reminds me of Canada where there was free WiFI EVERYWHERE - and I do mean everywhere. It’s a good sign of things to come in the UK.

So this is the first time I’ve ever written a blog post whilst eating a fast-food breakfast! Needless to say, the breakfast certainly hit the spot!

Chicken and Leek PieI was extremely pleased with myself after creating the Chicken and Leek pie which you can see on this post.

I was surprised by how well the recipe actually turned out with such a relatively small amount of effort. Preparation of the ingredients we perhaps the most time consuming part of the recipe, even so that was probably due to my lack of skill with a knife rather then the number of ingredients.

I’m not sure how healthy the pie was, however I was happy to knowing exactly what went into it so at least I there were no flavourings, chemicals or battery eggs used.

If your feeling adventurous, I’d definitely recommend trying it out! You can find the recipe here.
