On Saturday we are helping out some friends in our church with their fund raising morning. After the last batch of fudge which the children lovingly stirred and made, we were asked if we would make some more. When the children previously set up stall, the children raised £110 from selling the fudge alone and …
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 …
I made apple butter today. I had a few apples left over from the crop we got this year, other half had gone and rescued them from the tree. I figured as they weren’t good enough for straight eating I’d make something. I had made apple butter last year and it was a big hit, …
It has been an eternity since I posted one of my recipes. I have still baked, but a lot of the time I have repeated recipes and there’s no need to repost the same thing. Today, I have created a recipe. You won’t find this anywhere on the internet, this is totally new, just for …

Today is the day we celebrate our wedding anniversary. Many years of wedded bliss and the day is very quietly marked by the exchange of greetings cards. No trumpets or banners, no fancy cake or even a hint of a balloon. I shall not complain, we both agreed that this would be the case, as …

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 …
