Stop! Don’t close the browser! You are not on the wrong blog For today I am putting aside craziness, French antics, creative writing and photography (sort of) to bring you a nommy nommy recipe that’s super easy to make! So we’re clear, this isn’t *my* recipe, it’s from a book called: “The StMichael All Colour [...]
The lovely Becca posted an especially nommy looking ginger cake recipe last week and then told me to bake it! So obediently I did as I was told, as I always do *ahem* So me and Laura popped to the shop, bought all the bits and set about making it! I measured, she stirred. [...]
Is anyone else watching Turn Back Time on the BBC? If not I insist you hop over to iplayer and catch up because it’s fantastic! They have taken modern shopkeepers and set them up on a high street that has been abandoned in favour of modern shopping centres. I adore it! The first week they were [...]
There’s a sentence you don’t often hear nowadays! But before you all disappear thinking “oh lord, she’s off again moaning about modern women,” bear with me, please! Over at Oui Chef!

The sunflowers are looking fairly tall to me now and the other ones are looking, well, bigger than they were, so [...]
I need to start this post with a little background knowledge; I kill plants. Not on purpose you understand, it just happens,over watered, under watered, things wilt when I walk past them! I am the anti-Titchmarsh. The only thing that can survive my death grip is cacti, not even bamboo can live through my own [...]
