In which I become the Hungry Caterpillar

On Easter Sunday a medium sized, not so young, woman  ate some Easter Eggs

and a family dinner (including the Lidl Three Bird Roast of which the general opinion was that a large chicken or duck would have been just as good), but she was still hungry.
On Monday in a Mexican themed night she ate fajitas and nachos
 but she was still hungry.
On Tuesday it was the Boy's third birthday, she ate a birthday tea including little egg sandwiches and sausage  rolls, chocolate brownies



pirate cupcakes (complete with the Black Spot)



and some pirate birthday cake (in a cop out from making it at home, I bought it at Sainsbury's and do recommend that)



In the evening the woman and her daughters went out to a restaurant and ate a large carvery meal.
Now she was no longer a medium sized woman and no longer hungry having eaten to capacity and beyond.
This was more the situation last night:


 That picture incidentally, is taken from Allan Ahlberg's Bravest Ever Bear. Allan Ahlberg is probably my favourite living children's author, at least for the under sevens.
Today, we are off to Bridlington, to visit Boy's great grandma, hopefully this doesn't mean mandatory fish and chips. Tomorrow, thankfully, normal life and diet will resume.
