Weekdays or weekends makes no difference to me but my breakfast changes with the U.K. seasonal weather.

In Summer, it’s usually fresh berry fruits with kefir or yoghurt, mixed with milled seeds.

In Winter, it’s usually hot porridge oats, made with water and mixed with berry fruits from the freezer, with kefir and milled seeds stirred in after cooking.

I sometimes have other seasonal fruits or occasionally have muesli or bran flakes with fruit and cold milk or maybe have a mushroom omelette or some other egg dish.
I used to love an occasional treat of poached egg and sautéed mushrooms on buttered granary toast - but I’ve had to avoid eating bread these last few months, so my current favourite egg dish is a poached egg on top of tender stem sprouting broccoli, which has been lightly steamed, then slightly charred in the air-fryer, with a few toasted flaked almonds.

Usually Tesco flakes, and peach n apricot cereal.mixed. Tesco used to do a nicer flakes cereal but discontinued it. Hate that.

Small cup of decaf coffee every day…

I buy the ordinary shredded wheat in winter because I like it with scalded milk (a childhood memory)

A bowl of porage in winter with banana, a few grapes and easy peeler. Two mugs of leaf tea with soya. Very rarely use milk now. A mix of weetabix, muesli and oats in summer with seasonal fruit available.

I have porridge with fruit and toast with lemon and lime marmalade on alternate days. Every so often I make overnight oats with raspberries and greek yoghurt.

If we go out on a Saturday morning we go to Wetherspoons and have either a traditional breakfast or Miners Benedict which is a toasted muffin with 2 poached eggs and black pudding and hollandaise sauce. Very tasty and excellent value.

I tend to start the day with a toasted bagel with cheese and relish, with the occasional Eggs Benedict

Sometimes I just have a biscuit with a coffee. If I go out, I’ll have a fry-up breakfast. Maybe I may have porridge, but with a large dollop of strawberry jam in it to give it taste.

I soon found it is all too easy when retired to allow every day to blend into the next, then before you know it, you have forgotten what day it actually is.

Weekends are the same as weekdays. A couple of pieces of toast made with Hovis ‘seed sensations’ bread with Marmite and butter on.
