I'm excitedPin It Now!Don't worry this is not going to turn into a gardening blog, but I just had to share my excitement. Last Monday I found myself in a garden centre. It was not a plannned trip, just one of those things that happened. My friend Lucy had to take Dolores to a welder to see about fixing a leak in the roof. When you are trying to… |

Banana BreadPin It Now!When I'm not blogging, which is most of the time these days, I'm an artist (and lecturer, for my sins) and one of the things I do is make artist's books.

Nigella's Chocolate Orange Loaf CakeWell, it's Burns Night, but if you've come looking for haggis I have to disappoint you. I volunteered to bring the pudding to my friend H's Burns Night dinner and I know this isn't even Scottish, but nobody seemed to mind that it wasn't quite in keeping. There was not much left by the end, even though we had all had plenty of haggis,… |

I tried to do something to cheer L and H up a little and make sorting through mountains of receipts a little more bearable. I went round to their house and baked my first ever Lemon Meringue Pie. I also wanted it to be a little thank you,… |

KedgereePin It Now!This has been waiting to be shared for a couple of months now and I promised I'd post something soon, so here it is...The first time I had Kedgeree was when my friend H made it for me.

So, it was perfect timing that I hosted the Second Annual Cherry Berry Festival yesterday.The Cherry Berry Fest was an idea my friend's daughter V came up with last year.
