Today, I am playing at being a sophisticated, grown up lady and going to London to met M for lunch at the OXO Tower. I’m not sure either of us fall into the category of sophisticated ladies that lunch, but we’re going to pretend to be them anyway. The rest of the Bank Holiday weekend […]
The one about the Domestic Goddess
That’d be me, in case you were wondering! Yesterday’s work was mostly in the kitchen. I’ve made the most of a bunch of rhubarb from Doddington Hall Farm Shop – rhubarb muffins, rhubarb crumble and then a chicken risotto and grilled home-grown asparagus!

The latest success is probably another […]

The one after the first post
Hmmm.. don’t know what I pressed there, but what I’d started to write here has all vanished (and, no, it wasn’t the delete button I promise!!) As I was saying…. the first post went well; it all appeared as I had hoped it would. And I did finally get sorted for going to camp. I’m […]
