Fruit salad Sangria

BC (before children) The Easter hols consisted of Matty whisking me off to somewhere dusky and sunny and we would pop Cava for breakfast into the orange groves and loll around all day just being in love, me usually sneaking a st.Moritz menthol on the balcony whilst sipping a lovely big glass of rose.
It is a little different now, we still go to fabulous places but we are a party of five,no lolling allowed!
Today we have been to the beach at Arnside and I have turned into my Mother crying "get down, don`t come running to me if you break your leg!"as they scaled rock faces many times in their wellies, kings and Queens of the castle all.
When we got home I needed a drink, but thought I`d better get the supper sorted before wine 0`clock chimed. So we had the time to make a fruit salad, wow what a lovely pudding, of course in term time I don`t seem to have the time, but from now on I`m getting home earlier to make the time. I am not advocating turning children into gin drinking lushes but this fruit salad was a marvel, as delicious as my husband (who has just come home winner of the Kendal and District league div 2 Ping Pong winning promotion to Div 1!)and is asking for another bowlful. Ping Pong widow that I am no wonder I need to fortify fruit salads!!!!!

Fruit salad
1 punnet of strawberries
4 ripe plums
4 ripe Kiwis
3 bananas
4 small red apples
3 oranges
Juice of three oranges
So fruit salad is simples- chop up and put in a big glass dish and feel magnificent that you are offering your family 5 of their 5 aday all in one go.
Next top up (to avoid colouration and ping pong induced insanity)with half a bottle of chilled Mateus rose and put in the fridge for a few hours to mingle.
I then drained all the pink fruit flavoured liquid into a jug and topped up with ice cold pear cider- ping and the pong of TT socks are gone! OMG divine- you must try this drink.
The fruit salad was yummy too with a big slosh of cream ( I just drank the cocktail!!)
