Hi all,

I’m trying to do more daily updates either on the blog here or on my YouTube channel at http://www.RationBookRecipes.tv – it’s honestly difficult though but I have got to get used to it!

I also wanted to let you know about a few clips I quickly put together from the “Highworth VE Day 2025”. My eldest daughter and I loved visiting this little event as we love Highworth and want to live there one day! It’s very close to Swindon where I currently live and we need to be close by as I want to be close to my parents. There is a lovely sense of community in this small little market town.

I’m now beginning to cook more proper meals again from my rations rather than nibbling through small, light snacks. I’m still going to be mindful not to fill my tummy too much just in case the abdo pain was anything to do with large meals or high-fat meals. I’m trying hard to generally have a high-fibre, low-fat diet right now and keep the meals on the smaller side. As my fear of the pain coming back subsides, my appetite is increasing though so it will be hard work to keep that under control this week but so far, so good and I am honestly loving being back on rations! I’m using the hashtag #rationcore now on my posts as I truly believe all us “rationers” need our own hashtag and recognition for our obsession!

Finally, here is a little video I posted on YouTube this morning with some snippets of some of the food I ate last week. I just LOVE rationing!!!
