This weekend we’ve done a big clear up in the garden. During Autumn all our time was taken up with raking leaves and picking up fallen walnuts, so we never got round to tidying the garden before the weather got bad. The combination of a dry weekend and having no plans led to us deciding… Continue reading It’s Not So Bad Really, Gardening

Brownies, carrot cake and coconut tray bake are their… Continue reading Flavour of the Month: Banana Chocolate Chip
