I usually give you a wee snapshot into my week on a Monday before I share the Meat Free Mondays recipes with you, but this week I thought I'd show you where I work. Doesn't it look lovely and colourful?
I work in a children's library. I've worked here for 20 years now and I can't tell you how much fun it is spending time with all the kids from babies to teenagers. I have a blast all week helping kids find just the right book, singing songs at Bookbug (rhyme time), telling stories to toddlers and doing crafts and activities with the kids in the holidays. I also have a knitting club for kids each week and a code club, where kids can learning computer coding.
All that and I get to decorate the library and paint murals on the windows. Yes, they pay me for this! I used to work full-time, but I cut my hours when I had Cooper and then again when I got so busy with my blog, but I'm still there a few days a week having fun.
So now I've told you a bit about my week, it's time to share some recipes with you. As usual they are awesome and a big thank you goes out to all the bloggers who contribute each week. I hope you leave inspired and go veggie at least one day this week.

Thanks to everyone who created a recipe for us this week.
What a gorgeous little spot to work! I love those clouds! I'm so glad you still get to be there - what a great place to work.
ReplyDeleteYes it's a great place to work. There are even more clouds than you can see. Our local Theatre gave them to us at the close of a Roald Dahl play. We love them.
Deleteyour work space looks so colourful and welcoming - and such a nice place to spend your day - I am sure you are great with the kids and making the space look fun. And I really need to get some more meals on my blog to share here (the nights are so dark and busy that it is a bit of a challenge right now)
ReplyDeleteYes I am lucky. I'll look forward to seeing those recipes Johanna :)
DeleteMorning! Thank you so much for featuring my burger recipe! Love this week's features. You library looks lovely, sounds like a great place to work:)
ReplyDeleteThat's ok, it looks fab and yes a good place to work.
DeleteWow, you have such a cool job. It must be satisfying to make such a difference in people's lives. Maybe you have some tips on how to get my kids to read more? Lovely meatless roundup, as usual!
ReplyDeleteYes it really is good and the kids love coming in and spending time with us. There is a reading challenge during the summer holidays for primary aged children. You should check in your local library. That might encourage them.
DeleteThat library looks so spacious Jac and wonderfully colourful too. Ours local library is really pokey in comparison. Lots of lovely recipes to want to recreate too.
ReplyDeleteAhh that's a shame and yes we do have lots of room.
DeleteWhat a lovey collection of super tasty recipes! Thank you so much for featuring mine! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in :)
DeleteWhat a cool job! Sounds so much fun. I now picture you singing to little people in colourful space..... then stopping for a delicious veggie lunch, before teaching the age old skill of knitting!
ReplyDeleteLovely round up of veggie treats too xx
Haha, that about sums it up :)
DeleteWhat an amazing, scrumptious round up of recipes!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kate yours is such a cool job. Painting wall murals, teaching kids to knit and singing songs in that colorful atmosphere is so much fun.
Have a good day!
Yes a great round up of recipe and yes a cool job!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous library! It must be utterly delightful working there, Jac. I now know who to turn to for advice and ideas when I want to buy books for my granddaughter!
ReplyDeleteSmashing roundup this week - I feel like a dog with the proverbial four lamp-posts! Ha ha!
Thanks again for hosting MFM, it's hugely appreciated! xx
Yes, just give me a shout if you need advice.
DeleteYes the recipes are fab and I love seeing the recipes every week, so it's a pleasure.
