As I said a few weeks ago, we're hosting Christmas in 2021 - my parents are free to travel at last (after my Gran died in April, previous years they always stayed at home so that she could visit them for the day) and my brother and his wife have booked a room in a… Continue reading Christmas Prep: Roast Beef
I do love to look back on how my veggies have gone each year (well, I did in 2020 at least). After my progress report a couple of months ago, the subsequent reset, and as we're nearing the end of vegetable growing season for us, I figured its time for a report on the harvest.… Continue reading Veggie harvest report 2021
I might do a bit of a series of how I'm preparing for Christmas - I might not, this might be the only thing I can think of to write about. We're hosting Christmas in 2021 - my parents are free to travel at last (after my Gran died in April, previous years they always… Continue reading Christmas Prep: Mincemeat
The last couple of years have been varied holidays and I've managed to keep lovely diaries of what we got up to (see 2019 and 2020) as well as during our break in Whitby in May 2021. This summer though, I didn't try to do that. I didn't want to be blogging in the evenings… Continue reading 2021 Holiday Highlights: Lincolnshire

Last year I shared a recipe on how to make wild garlic pesto - at the time we made pasta pesto for large boy to count towards a Cubs badge. I've made more this year, two batches in fact and I might make another. Honestly, I absolutely love the stuff! Its gorgeously peppery without being… Continue reading Making Stuff 18: How to Use Wild Garlic Pesto
I love using my blog as a bit of a diary. I documented our 2019 summer holiday, the weekly churn of the first lockdown and our 2020 summer roadtrip. So this half term holiday has been a bit odd. Usually, at February half term, the boys would be in a holiday club somewhere. Usually, as… Continue reading Lockdown half term
I haven't done a making stuff post for a while, but two are probably going to come along at once. The first week of February was Children's Mental Health week in the UK and so school gave us two Zoom free days. Mostly, that meant the boys watched a lot of TV and played on… Continue reading Making Stuff 16: Chocolate Banana Cake
The Christmas Tag The wonderful Undaunted Adventure has created a lovely new Christmas Tag to share some love between us bloggers. I'm totally thrilled to be nominated in the kick off post. Then a little while later the fabulous Chehak at ChehakChirps and the lovely Gemma at This Brit's Life tagged me too. The Christmas… Continue reading Some Christmas Tags
I'm trying really hard to get into the spirit of Christmas. It just feels too early still. My brother's birthday is early December, so I grew up with Christmas not being thought of until after he'd had a celebration. Now large boy's birthday is around the same time and we do the same thing. The… Continue reading Christmas Treat Recipes
