I love gnocchi; it’s a hug in a bowl. I love nothing more than to snuggle up on the sofa with a book and a hot bowl of gnocchi in the winter and wait until it’s time to pick up the children.The great thing is that the children love it too, it’s one of those…
If you’ve known our family for any amount of time you will know that the love of cinnamon rolls runs deep. In fact, if the rest of the family gets back from their Sunday morning run and I haven’t made them for brunch whatever is on offer is never really wanted. I got the recipe…

I have wonderful memories of picking blackberries as a child. Mostly with friends and their mums up on the track behind The Youngs Farm in the village and once with Grandma Pat on the path that led to school. I think I remember that one particularly because one, we didn’t see her very often, and…

I’m writing this curled up in my armchair on New Year’s Eve. I’d planned to do a fun family party to end the day and then start the new year with a freezing cold dip in the sea with Paul and the children (children watching), but as has so often been the case this year,…
Summer’s update I was so ready for June. If you read our May round-up then you will know that it wasn’t an easy month for me and I was quite happy when it ended. The reason I am enjoying these monthly blog posts so much is because at first, I didn’t think June had been…
The tradition of spring cleaning goes back even further than I imagine most people realise.
