The Perfect Poached Egg
I love a poached eggs but am rubbish at making them. This though is a no brainer…
We Are What We Eat….
As I have got older the words oxidation, antioxidant and free radical seem to have entered my vocabulary as they are all to do with the dreaded aging process.
Easy Peel Garlic Press
My Garlic press broke so bought another one from my local cook shop in Cobham, Surrey and it’s simply amazing
Bolt On the Big Screen
This is my nephew Jack – supporting Team GB but anxiously waiting for Usain Bolt to perform in the 200m final. Wendy and her family went to watch it all on the big screen in Hyde Park.
Woof!
Can you get this flippin cat off my bed?!!
Well Done Amelia
My 19 year old step daughter Amelia graduated from her Secretarial College course this week.
Flat Pack Vase!
How about a ‘Magic’ flat pack vase? Strange but true! And it actually works – you just take it out of the packet, add water and arrange your flowers.

Waiting for the sun!
In our throwaway society we sometimes forget to make do and mend. I love my shoes and some I’ve had for years, but I do look after them.
Wet, Wet, Wet!
My jubilee seemed to involve a lot of umbrellas and wet food which Buddie, as you can see, helped me clear up!
Tasty Root Vegetables
My favourite and quickest way to serve vegetables with roast chicken (You can use veggie soya or Quorn chunks if you are a non meat eater).
Baked macaroni – the God of easy Ding Ding dinners
I know in the perfect world we would make all our own food from scratch with organic ingredients.
Best of British
Getting ready for the Jubilee and having a small gathering?
Away With the Fairies
Well I got a little carried away here…
A Feast for our Feathered Friends
I hate waste, especially food. It pains me when people throw good food out just days passed its so called sell by date and I support all initiatives which are trying to bring sense to this senseless obsession.
Breast Foot Forward…
As you can see from this rather glam photo of Me, Jilly Johnson and Nina Carter we mean business – especially Nina!
