Last night was a bit of a crazy night. Today is my last day at work so i wanted to make some cakes to say thank you for my time there. We also had to collect the for sale sign for the flat and clean everything out of the shed and take it to the dump. [...]

Wild Raspberry Syrup and Gin Cocktails
Posted in Drink, Wild Food on July 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »
One of the great things about having a dog is that whenever i’m out for a walk i always have a bag with me. Let me explain… Last night on our walk we came across a huge crop of wild raspberries and after stuffing a few into my pocket and hearing them squelch i remembered the poop bag! [...]

We are lucky enough to have a great butcher, T and R Skinner, who also acts as a sort of babysitting service for the arrival of our veg box from the wonderful people at the Bellfield Organic Nursery. They have had a pretty bad time lately with vandals and being affected by the rising costs of [...]

I think [...]

After dinner last night i found some poor old bananas at the bottom of the fridge and decided to make some bread. We’ve also had a bottle of decidedly dodgy looking chocolate liquer hanging around the flat for ages so thought this might be a good way to get rid of it! I put the bread [...]
Hello world!

My first post.
I’m passionate about writing and food, food and writing. Stands to reason that after recently discovering food blogging, (i know…where have i been?), i should put the two together eventually! Being a country girl i’m used to fresh, seasonal food but as we currently live in a flat and haven’t quite mastered the art [...]
