Where the Fires Crackle & Hiss

Where the Fires Crackle & Hiss

It hasn't been snowing this Christmas where I am but it's been bitterly cold and we've all been snuggled up with hot water bottles in our Christmas sweaters with big Santa socks on to keep our feet warm. I simply love this time of year when everything is cold and chilled. It's so much more [...]

Christmas Time in the Morning

Christmas Time in the Morning

We've sort of had our Christmas morning early. This weekend we both received our gifts irl from each other and as the saying goes, great minds think alike, fools seldom differ! We both sent each other the same present...a rather nice bottle of Sloe Gin each! I'm saving some of mine to make Prosecco and [...]

I have been looking forward to the first Christmas with my grandson and I'll be extremely miffed if that is now in jeopardy as I have the whole [...]

Festive Treats and Gourmet Delights

3 more sleeps! The kitchen is starting to become the hub of the energy in my house with foods that can be prepared in advance of the big day. My eldest daughter has become a Pescatarian in the last year and this is the first Christmas I'm catering for her. I found an amazing recipe [...]

Good morning. So, it only really dawned on me yesterday that we had a week til Christmas. I hadn't really thought about it but sort of had it in my head that it was a couple of weeks away. I'm pretty much on top of things in real life. I need to send something down [...]
