Ok, so I know it’s only Saturday but I believe in forward planning. As we’re away at the mo, we’ve found a dog friendly place which does a traditional Sunday lunch, which we will be partaking...
We’re currently in a lovely converted barn on a sheep farm on Anglesey, watching the rugby. It’s blowing a gale outside but not currently raining. The dog has fallen asleep, finally, on my feet,...
We’re having a big family holiday on Ile de Re this year and I’m not sure I’m looking forward to it, not quite sure why as I dearly love all the people who will be going. There will be nine...
Does anyone know how prevalent this is? Do you know of anyone whose pet has had it, or has your pet had it? Do you have your pet treated against it? Our dog had his annual jabs and kennel cough nasal...
Does anyone have any tips on how to cook baked eggs which have been cracked into a hollow made on top of roasted veg? Either the yolk isn’t runny but the white is cooked, or the white is still slimy...
Doing anything special tonight? We’re not, just having an M&S beef and ale pie, potato dauphinois from the same source, and a big pan of sprouts. Maybe a mini Hagendaz for afters. Then we shall sit...

Anyone made it, and did you enjoy it?...
Anyone do their own recipe for mulled wine? I have two sachets of stuff to do it but actually think I’d like to make my own. I’ve looked online but wonder if anyone makes their own and can...
We’ll be doing ours on the Thursday before Christmas. These days all the milk, cream, perishable stuff, has long use by dates so that won’t be a problem. And all the veg keeps very nicely in the...
followed by Apple lattice pie and homemade custard for us this evening, all shovelled in while watching Strictly with a couple of glasses of pink fizz.
And you??...
We saw a recipe for these online and decided they would be quick and easy to make as it called for ready rolled bought puff pastry. Two hours and a thoroughly messy kitchen later, yes, they’re very...
This time last year we had no babies or children in the family. This Christmas we have THREE babies, all of whom will be staying with us, with their parents and a rogue grannie in law, over the...
