At this time of year, apples are in abundance, especially in our little village. You can barely pass a house without there being a crate outside the gate, with a sign saying, 'help yourselves!', and I just cannot resist. We're trying to slim down what we have in our utility and fridge, so we can… Continue reading Easy apple puffs recipe!

Hey there, July!
"The serene philosophy of the pink rose is steadying. Its fragrant, delicate petals open fully and are ready to fall, without regret or disillusion, after only a day in the sun. It is so every summer. One can almost hear their pink, fragrant murmur as they settle down upon the grass: 'Summer, summer, it will… Continue reading Hey there, July!
Five things that made me smile this week
Our new neighboursEvery year, we get some new additions on the other side of the fence and luckily this year is no different. It was quite an ordeal for the horses who are known for their dramatics, but within 15 minutes the sheep, lambs and horses were chomping away, living the dream. If you follow… Continue reading Five things that made me smile this week
It’s National Vegetarian Week and I’m in!
As I was tucking into my lunch of leftover chicken (free range of course), from Sunday lunch, I saw as I was scrolling through Instagram, that it was national vegetarian week. Oops. I think from that first sentence, it’s clear to see that I’m not a vegetarian, but I’m very conscious about the meat I… Continue reading It’s National Vegetarian Week and I’m in!

Until then, we've not been more than a few miles away from home, only to go to the butchers, greengrocer, supermarket… Continue reading A little escape
Hello there, May!

I have to say though, I'm always happy to standstill when I'm in a bluebell wood. This week we'll hear more from the government about changes… Continue reading Hello there, May!
Five things Friday

My holiday
I've just had a week off, so popped over to Greece, swam everyday, ate freshly grilled fish from the sea washed down with buckets of local wine and slept under the stars - then I woke up. Instead, I had the four days off after Easter, which I of course, spent at home and in… Continue reading My holiday
Easy banana bread recipe
For me, banana bread is always a good idea. I tend to do the same thing time and time again, I buy a huge bunch of bananas, some natural yoghurt and then have this as a snack for a couple of days. I then get bored of having the same snack and the bananas end… Continue reading Easy banana bread recipe
New Year, New You
What an utter load of bollocks. All of these resolutions to lose weight, dry January or to exercise more, whilst admirable, are not something that you need to wait for the new year for. It seems that these resolutions put pressure on us at an already dreary time of year, and did you know that… Continue reading New Year, New You
