One week on from slowly recovering from my painful back and I am so much better. I can’t feel it all now and I’ve pretty much got myself back to normal. So now I’m contemplating the upcoming busy week, which is filled with fun things and more serious stuff. Today I visited a friend, I …
This week’s CFFC is music, guitar, coffee, men, candid… Here’s a start for my entry, I may make another post. Guitar; I have never played one. My son owns one and he can’t play either, in fact I don’t even know how to hold one properly. For the purpose of this challenge I took a …
I have to say that being 47 isn’t so bad after all. I woke somewhere in the night to hear a clatter from the kitchen. Walter (my cat) had realised that someone had left a chicken bone hidden in the compost bin, that someone had placed also a heavy plate on top, but it didn’t …
There’s a festival on in our village on Saturday, that is live music followed by fireworks. Also there’s community things going on during the day, one of the events is held in our own church. Other half is the chair person of a very enthusiastic events team. Everyone has worked tremendously hard to make things …
Do you ever wake up in the morning and wonder how you got to the day it was and realise the week or month has flown too fast. I am doing that, life seems to be blurring past at a stupendous rate. Today is Tuesday, and it’s almost the end of the day yet only …
My daughter Sol will be 13 on Saturday. THIRTEEN, when did that happen? I scroll back through my ten year old kooky website and I look at the photos of her as a toddler. We have photographs dotted around the house of her as a baby and she has come a long way. Oh my …

I found that cutting one in half was just a perfect amount for me. Ingredients 250g self raising flour (8.8oz) 175ml milk. (6.2oz) 2 large eggs 100ml olive oil (3.5oz) 70g …
So fattening but delicious, I made these for the coffee morning and again just last week. The trouble about these is that they don’t last very long, the whole family just swoop in and eat them. Ingredients 3 multipacks of mars bars. 12 bars in total, they are 39g per bar. 250g of butter 3 …
We had made these for our coffee morning two weeks ago. Yes, you had to wait this long to get the recipes, I am sorry but it could not be helped. I am only catching up now with the recipes which I had stored in my drafts folder. I find also this recipe freezes well, …
For the picnic lunch I made cookie cake, it is a big hit in my house. I’ve only made it a few times, but when I do I get requests for second helpings. I used a Swiss roll pan for making this in, when the cookie cake comes out of the oven it looks nothing …
