Sausages and Mash on Martinsell Hill

Pizza, Heath, Birthday Cake

[Saturday 18th March 2023]
We went for pizza for lunch, and I asked if they'd put some vegan pepperoni on my pizza (you can never find this on the menu in any pizza restaurant I've been to) and happily they obliged. Later on a trip to the heath, then after dinner a belated birthday cake.
