Why A New Years Bloggers Honours... When I started blogging back in February I was more than a little nervous about venturing into the world of blogging. I was racked with self doubt, doubting very much that anyone would actually click on my blog, let alone hang around long enough to read a post, ... [ Read More ]

Spare A Thought This Christmastime…
For Those Less Fortunate Than Ourselves... Christmastime is without a doubt my most favorite time of year. I love the glitz and the twinkle of Christmastime. I love the food. And I have even grown to love the fact that my birthday is very close to Christmas. But for me Christmastime is really all ... [ Read More ]
Vanilla Fudge Recipe
Vanilla Fudge I love making vanilla fudge almost as much as I enjoy eating it and this recipe always goes down well at parties and special occasions. It's not something I make often these days as I can't justify making more than a couple of batches over the festive period and eating too much of ... [ Read More ]
Melt In The Mouth Shortbread Recipe

Please Don’t Make The Christmas Pudding Mum!…

And we are no different, although maybe one of our traditions was ( I say was, as it was one that had to go). For more years than I care to remember I ... [ Read More ]
Music…
Looking back over my week, I think my Word Of The Week has to be Music as at the beginning of the week I dedicated far too many hours to sorting out my old Sony Walkman MP3 devices. I have two Walkman MP3 players, both of them are rather on the old side and as I look after them they are both ... [ Read More ]
Dandelion Clock
Dandelion Clock A dandelion clock never fails to take me back in time. What person of a certain age never attempted to tell the time by blowing the umbrella like seeds from a seeded dandelion head? I know I did. It was fun! And it got me into trouble on more than one occasion for being late. I ... [ Read More ]
My Plan To Tackle Those Tasks!
Those Tasks... I have recently been putting off tasks that I really should be tackling, as the thought of doing them sends me into a downward spiral. The tasks themselves are nothing major, just simple things like sorting out and wiping down cupboards and shelves. No different to any other year, ... [ Read More ]
