Winter walks

02 February 2012

The weather may have turned chilly but we don’t let that stop us getting out and about for walks in the woods! We’ve discovered some really lovely places to take the children, both in our local area, and up where my Mum lives. The girls love getting their wellies on and kicking the ...

Baked chocolate custard

14 January 2012

What do you do when you are all feeling a little over-tired and down in the dumps? Why, you bake a super rich and indulgent baked chocolate custard of course! I’m not kidding when I say this is rich – I am a serious chocoholic but I couldn’t manage a whole pot of this (although ...

Makes of 2011

02 January 2012

At the beginning of 2011 I set myself a goal of knitting from my rather large stash – aiming for 12 projects through the year. After I’d finished Christmas presents, I think I just about managed it (although I haven’t had a final count up). I also started a sewing course and have ...

Cologne Christmas Markets (Part 1!)

23 December 2011

Last week we were incredibly lucky to fly out and visit the Cologne Christmas Markets, thanks to Germanwings and 9flats.com. I visited some German Christmas markets several years ago and fell in love with them then, but never had the opportunity to take the children. Needless to say, their ...

Handmade Christmas wrapping paper

22 December 2011

This year we have made lots of our Christmas gifts so we thought we’d make some wrapping paper to go with them. Faith has some handy Christmas themed stamps, which we used with ink pads but you could cut shapes out of potatoes using cookie cutters if you don’t have any ready made ...

Tesco Real Food Christmas Dinner Challenge

18 December 2011

Last month, along with 3 other bloggers, Tesco Real Food set me the challenge of creating a Christmas Dinner menu for four people for £40 or less. Always one for a challenge, I accepted and was fairly confident that this was entirely possible. I love a good traditional Christmas Dinner menu so I ...
