is probably about right. If I started the London marathon now it would probably take me three years to do it. Not only because I would be stopping every ten seconds to photograph and instagram something but because, well, I am not Paula Radcliffe am I? Every year I decide to get up early and watch the London marathon. On the sofa Whilst eating a bacon bap I
If you love Crunchies then you will LOVE these Crunchie Squares which are simple to make in a Thermomix. One of the 75 reasons I love it! I don’t know, you wait your whole week for a Thermomix recipe from me and then two come along at once. Or maybe you haven’t been waiting all week and this has just come as a pleasant surprise. Suffice to say
I know, right? Fudge. With Snickers. I remember when Snickers were Marathons and I also remember when the London Marathon was the Mars London Marathon so in honour of me being old enough to remember old things yesterday being the day of the Marathon I came up with this little beauty. It might also have been a day that I made a momentous decision about the marathon. And about my
Yesterday I wrote about charity help in Nepal a year after the earthquake. About the need for help around the world following disasters. Today it is about something similar but also at the same time, very different. It’s about twenty two well known chefs writing to the Prime Minister: It’s a scandal that in 2016 over 3 million children will needlessly die because they don’t have enough food,
A year. 12 months 365 days I look back over the past year and I can’t really think off the top of my head what I have achieved. Lots of things I wanted to do are still not done, many not even started. Some have been and then abandoned. Stuff has happened, as stuff always does. At the time it felt important, and some of it was,
We first realised that there might be something special about Room 302 where we were staying at the Walpole Bay Hotel in Margate when ten minutes after checking into our room a tour bus full of ladies from a WI tried to get into our room to have a look at it. Most apologetic when they realised Mr B was making use of the free wi-fi whilst lying on the
Spring has really sprung hasn’t it? It really makes a difference to be able to look up and see blue sky and fluffy clouds rather than grey skies and dark clouds. Everybody’s mood lifts too and people seem to be much more cheerful as they dash about doing their daily thing. And keen to be outside. Last weekend the queue for our local garden centre was huge! As
Yes you did read that correctly. When I got an email from Visit England asking me if I would like to take part in some St George’s day activity celebrating all thing patriotic I was chuffed. That sounded like it might be fun, I thought. This time last year we were gearing up for a garden party at Buckingham Palace where we didn’t get to meet the Queen
I must admit I wasn’t really “that” aware of there being such a thing as “Turner’s Skies” until I started doing some digging ahead of our weekend in Margate. The more I looked into though the more I realised that the sky and the landscape in that part of Kent really played a huge role in shaping Turner’s paintings. And now having been there it is easy to see
That sounds like a children’s word game or rather unfortunate medical condition. Not a beauty spot that I ended up going to this week, almost by accident. I had met Annie just up the road at Hinton Ampner for a couple of hours of nattering and photography and on the way there we had both spotted the sign to Cheesefoot Head. So after our wander around Hinton (to
Walking away from Hatchlands Park on Sunday afternoon I stopped a dad with his son and asked if I could photograph his little boy enjoying one of the many free Space Hoppers that littered the front lawn. It seemed to sum up perfectly why this National Trust property is the perfect place to go for an afternoon of family fun. Even though the weather hadn’t been great and there
You might think it is because I am following some crazy diet plan one of the ladies is promoting. You would be wrong. You might think it is because I want to fit in to an outfit from one of their clothing lines so am starving myself until I do. Nope. Again, you would be wrong. The Real Housewives of Beverley Hills are making me fitter for a very
