The weather was so nice today that we would have liked to spend it in the garden (the daffs have come out!) but the nip in the air drove us indoors. We are fortunate enough to have a conservatory, so we decided to set up home there today for a lazy Saturday reading the paper.We went out this morning to Lidl and stocked up on tons of fruit and veg, continental meats and cheeses and baked goodies. As we'd not had breakfast, and it was about 2pm by the time we got back, we decided to get some nibbles sorted and eat them almost-alfresco. It's not truly tapas of course, more a pan-European finger food selection, but it certainly did the job.
We had:
Chorizo cooked with sage (pictured above)
Bruschetta (courtesy of TLM)
Home-made houmous
Some little crispy snacks
Ciabatta with vinegar & oil
Serrano ham
Cheese, with Ducth crispbakes and celery
Crayfish tails
Olives, sun-dried tomatoes and peppers
A feast that took plenty of time to munch through and we're only just considering something light for dinner (fruit or salad) now at 8pm.
I think we might have to do this more often on a lazy Saturday (though the washing-up generated may make for a busy Sunday morning ;))

That looks gorgeous! I love a browse through Lidl once in a while (we tend to shop more in Aldi).
I try not to go too often though as I always end up buying a huge tub of their potato salad with creme fraiche - it's gorgeous!
Hi Hannah - it's been a while!
I used to shop at Aldi more, but I don't think there's many around in the Westcountry. I know what you mean about Lidl, for me it's the chocolate aisle...
