The Rules of Decluttering
When greeting a visitor to your home have you ever said ‘nice to see you, excuse the mess!’ ?
Chicken & chorizo risotto
This is the easiest and most heart-warming recipe I have sampled in a long time.
Apple Crumble
Apple crumble is for me one of the most delicious and easy deserts to knock together but I’ve had good, bad and the one that’s annoys me the most which is oats in the topping
Sensational Soya
After sourcing the benefits of Soya to help Grant manage his IBS I also realised that as a woman of a certain age I should be upping my own intake.
The Best Chicken Korma
I’m going to start by complaining. I have Bamix Blender which I really like and which is promoted by Gordon Ramsey. It comes a book on how to use it together with a selection of recipes.
Pancakes
Over the years we have eaten more pancakes than ‘Little Black Sambo’ – If you have never read this book it was my favourite as a child and I still have a very tatty version of it. My pancake recipe is a very standard one…
So Innocent
Sometimes you need a pot of food in the fridge that you don’t have to think about…
Perfect Bread for Soup
I didn’t want to throw this loaf out which had passed its fluffy sandwich date so cut it thinly, smothered it in olive oil with chopped rosemary and sea salt scattered over the top.
Perfect Personalised Summer Accessory!
I finally bought Wendy the much promised personalised ‘Wendy’ bag for Easter this year.
Put Some Sparkle in Your Foot Attire
There is nothing better than promoting your friend’s talents… especially if you really love what they do.
The Hills are Alive With the Sound of Music
The First film I remember seeing was The Sound of Music in 1965, my Mum took me along and I was transfixed. Later in 1976 aged 16 (going on 17) I played the part of Liesl Von Trapp in a rather large amateur stage production of the show.
Easter In the Snow!
Our Easter this Year was in the snow which gave a different dimension to the Egg Hunt.
Skin Delicious
Indulged in something yesterday which is so skin delicious. I think we should all invest in excellent skin care.
Colourful Cables
The world is full of cables, well that’s what it looks like in our house and can I tell the difference between them in an instant? No.
Tea At the Ritz
On Wednesday, I had a wonderful afternoon experiencing Tea at the Ritz with my fellow skaters, Andy, Gareth Thomas and Robin.
The Ducks Are Back
So all is well in our little garden life. I woke up last week and heard so much quacking outside… and gloriously it was Fred and Wilma home at last.
So Britain’s Animals Also Have Talent!
One thing I love about my line of work is the variety… and Wednesday was a perfect example of this. I have kindly been invited to be part of the jury panel of ITV’s new and forthcoming programme, ‘The British Animal Honours 2013’.
Braver and Fatter
My ducks are getting braver and fatter. Every morning now they are quacking at the front door for breakfast. I recently bought a sack of food so lets see how long it lasts.
Chocolate always does the job
What a week I have had. It has been so busy. I came home from Dancing on Ice rehearsals on Saturday to a few Pre Mother’s day Gifts and a beautiful meal at Bill’s in Guildford… which is my new fave hangout
A night with the stars
I think it’s always good to try and experience different things… and even better if it doesn’t cost too much.
