To celebrate the weekend and the fact that I had finally managed to source cocoa powder, I made some very simple chocolate cookies. For this, I turned to another tried and tested resource; the BBC Good Food website. The recipe said to include chocolate chips but, as I didn’t have any, I had to do… Continue reading Days 81 -83 Cookies and Travel Pics
For some reason I had a craving for a nice Cornish Pasty. It seems to be a habit now that I always really want something that wasn’t in the last food shop delivery!!! If I order Cornish Pasties as a treat in next week’s shop, you can guarantee that I will fancy a pizza instead.… Continue reading Day 79 – 80 Cornish Pasties and Hippo Photo Shoot
After releasing my latest embroidered decoration – a cute little Hippo – Tuesday was a day of celebration and relaxing! Monday had been a long day doing a full day of work, followed by a late night to get the shop updated, so Tuesday was much more chilled out: hanging out with family (remotely) in… Continue reading Day 78 – Hippo celebrations!
The shopping arrived at lunchtime and not a moment too soon! We were completely out of vegetables, maybe a stray potato was left somewhere, but that was it. We were out of bread. We were out of flour. We were out of milk. We’d rationed for the last two days of our non-shopping stint, waiting… Continue reading Day 64 – Pies and cakes!
After a flurry of gardening activity yesterday, today I felt rubbish and weary again! So I had an extremely satisfying Sunday of doing pretty much nothing! We couch-potatoed in front of Youtube and Netflix for most of the day. When the mood took us, we did a little bit of pottering in the garden, determined… Continue reading Day 62 – Tiger Tiger…
After a race to the finish to get my Etsy shop started, Friday was a bit more laid back as I allowed myself a bit more free time, we’d also had two fast days this week, so we went a bit free-and-easy with the food as well. We celebrated finishing my first listing with a… Continue reading Day 46 – Back to the baking and theatre night
Not much to report for Tuesday, so I kind of skipped it. It was my first day back at work after Easter, and, luckily, it was warm enough to take my laptop into the garden and get some much needed vitamin D while going through my emails. After work, as the weather had stayed nice… Continue reading Days 28-29 – Sunshine and bake-along
Here’s to the long Easter weekend! Here in the UK, Good Friday and Easter Monday are national ‘bank holidays’, which means 4 whole days to spend as we please! There were of course, some inevitable chores – washing up, trying to arrange shopping deliveries for ourselves and my Mum, but mostly, we celebrated and relaxed!… Continue reading Days 24-27 – A beautiful long weekend
Today started out with something scary…the big bad supermarket! Our online shopping hasn’t been working out that great, we’d run out of the basics, so we had to brave venturing out to the shops. Here in the UK, social distancing measures have been put in place such as limiting the number of people allowed in… Continue reading Day 22 – Baking and crafting
Hi all, sorry, I kind of skipped over day 20 (Monday) because it zoomed by so fast, along with yesterday (day 21). We’ve been trying to get the house straight so that we can relax for the Easter holidays. So, as the title suggests it’s all been a bit of a blur of laundry, washing… Continue reading Days 20 & 21 – they went in a blur of chores
