Something incredible and amazing happened today 😃

[BarrowInFurnessRailwayStation]

Me, dh and ds2 were out in the car after picking ds2 up from the train station. I stopped off at Boots for some eye wipes and they stayed in the car. I was gone five minutes, but I'd left my headlights on and my crappy battery went flat in that time 😣🤦‍♀️🚙

We were about three miles from home and dh and ds2 were going to have to walk home and return with a spare battery and jump leads. Dh suggested we bump start it and him and ds2 began to push the car after telling me what to do. I wasn't hopeful 'cos we were in a car park.

Anyway, a van pulled out and drove right up to me and I thought he was going to tell me off for being in the road 😦 but he went in the back of the van, pulled out some jump leads and opened his bonnet and I opened my bonnet and dh fixed them up and I got my car started 😃😊😃😊😃😊😃

I was so grateful to the chap for helping 🙏 I never have any luck like that. I need a new battery though 🤭

Aw that's lovely. There are good people out there. I think it was pay back for all the supportive messages you do on here. 💐💐

I hope you get a new battery easy enough.

Aw that's fab, what a kind man x

Glad the nice chap helped out!

It proper cheered me up 😀

Really lovely. Great people do exist, 🙏

That's lovely

Barrow, that is so good to have a Samaritan like that just when you needed them! How lucky😇

Also, off topic, I wanted to say your air-fryer recipe for roast veggies is fab! Thankyou 🤗🌻

Ooo, roasted vegetables 😋 I've even got ds2 onto them 😃 pleased it's working for you. Honestly, I love my airfryer so much 😆

Love hearing about random acts of kindness!

Now... what's this about air-fryer roast veggies? Sounds right up my street!

Air fryer vegetables - slice courgette, pepper, shallots, carrot, aubergine, tomato etc. Place into air fryer, squirt oil over them and cook on 180 for a few minutes, then 200 to brown and finish off. Do the courgette and carrots first for a few mins then add the softer stuff which doesn't take so long to cook. You can sprinkle them with salt, pepper or favourite seasoning first. Experiment with timings, but the whole lot can be done in under 15 mins.

I have tasty vegetables every day now 😋 😄 🥕🌶🥒🍆🫑🥦

Here is an example

I've got an instant pot air fryer jobby, so my version is mix veg, garlic etc (I like whole cloves for this) in bowl with seasoning (Last night was smoked paprika, plain paprika and Italian herb mix with garlic powder) but leave out tomatoes.

Spray with oil and mix then tip into air fryer inner pot and heat, I think I did 17 mins at 180c. At the halfway point (it bleeps at you to stir ingredients) add the tomatoes, and commence cooking. Yummy!

I refrigerate any leftovers for upto 4 days
