The Gallery – Extreme Close Up

March 28, 2012

This is my boy. My beautiful boy, with the big brown eyes and the cheeky smile. I love him, to the moon and back a million times. And I tell him this. Every. Single. Day. Some days, my heart is so full of love, I could burst.   For more variations of this week’s theme [...]

Shades of Grey

March 24, 2012

I’ve been feeling numb. Mindlessly running round in this hamster wheel of life, I’ve somehow managed to stop noticing what’s around me, and appreciating the time I have.

When it comes to cakes and all things dessert, I’m a bit of an old-fashioned girl. Having descended from a long line of fruit cakes lovers, it’d be a disgraceful of me not to have my own tried and tested recipe. And, being a Yorkshire lass, what better way to enjoy it than my own Yorkshire [...]

Morrisons M Savers Range – Plus a recipe for delicious Salmon and Pesto Fish Cakes

March 4, 2012

As a family of four, with both the husband and I working to make ends meet, we’re often stretched financially. But, being a little obsessed with cooking, and making delicious home cooked meals, one area that I monitor religiously is our food budget. I make sure I menu plan, and try to spend as little as [...]
