Edit 2020 – this diner is no longer open. I love eating out, especially when out and about. Yes, I could save money and pack a picnic, but then you’re dependent on the weather, finding somewhere to sit (not easy…
*Ad – collaborative post Like many other people, I hate cleaning. I do a quick wipe round (wipes may not be sustainable, but they do make it easier to do a minute here and there) after cooking and in the…
I go through phases of baking. Well, being a farmer’s wife I need to be able to bake on occasion. But then I was asked to take part in the Home Bargains blogger baking challenge in celebration of Great British…
I’m a big tennis fan. Well, not as much as I once was, but racket sports are my thing. At school I used to pretty much play everything in a team being tennis and squash captain at 6th form. Once…
