While digging round in the loft, my Mum found several bags of clothes that I used to wear when I was a child. There was loads of great stuff (and a few not so great!) and most of it 30 years (or more!) old. Quite a lot of it is M&S – or St Michael...
This is one of our favourite, quick and easy cake recipes. It is ideal as a lunch box treat and is great for taking on picnics in this lovely, sunny weather. In fact, I might bake some tomorrow morning and take Faith out for a little picnic lunch! Ingredients (makes 12 squares) 200g unsalted butter/Stork...
We try our best, but I think it is safe to say that when it comes to gardening, we’re not the best! However, this never puts the girls off trying, so they were very excited when Innocent offered them a little gardening kit to get them started. They received a shiny new watering can, some...
There are so many great things to make and bake at Easter time and hot cross buns are one of our favourites. They don’t always look as neat and tidy as the ones you buy in the supermarket, but they certainly taste just as good, in fact, they probably taste much better! You may think...
I always think of turkey as the underdog of the meat world, coming in a long way behind good old chicken. But in our house we are huge fans of turkey, often choosing it over chicken. Turkey is definitely not just for Christmas and, along with Lean on Turkey, I’m hoping to persuade you to...
It’s certainly no secret that I like a good pudding. If I’m eating out then I’ll often choose my main carefully so I still have room for pudding – because that is the best bit! So there was no way I was going to turn down the offer of pudding to review, especially when it...
As you can probably guess, the oven is pretty much the most important appliance in my kitchen. It gets used every day, often several times a day. Some days it is on nearly all day. So it is such a nightmare to be saddled with an oven that I hate with a passion you can...
It’s no secret that I love a good cake and to satisfy my cake cravings, I’ve been thinking about starting a Clandestine Cake Club for a while. With the recent popularity and press coverage, I’ve decided to go for it and will be holding the first event next week. For those of you who haven’t...
Crafting time has been sadly lacking in our house recently, with big plans for lots of craft activities over half term being scuppered by my nasty bout of flu. So when Yellow Moon offered to send us some fabric crafting kits and craft supplies it was the perfect chance for us to get creative again....
I must admit that I am one of those people who enjoys a glass of wine but is hopeless at knowing what is good and what isn’t. I am baffled by those people on the tv who tell me that they are getting a hint of berries with an undertone of wood and an after...
I’ve been wanting to visit Borough Market for ages, but every time I’m up in London I seem to run out of time or be rushing to get back home. So when Dale took me to London last weekend as a belated Christmas present we decided that we’d definitely plan it into our schedule. We...
I love getting new cake commissions because it almost always means I get to try out something new. I was very excited when a friend asked me to create a Lego themed cake for her son’s 7th birthday last weekend. She came up with the fantastic idea of making it into a number 7 and...
