Sunday Recipe – The Best Family Fruit Cake
There are times when nothing will quite do but a bit of comfort baking (oh yes, we know for a fact half the nation is at it on a Sunday). And when I’m having one of *those* days weeks, there’s one recipe I head to first. It’s an old one from the classic Dairy Diary Book of Home Cookery – a recipe book which every kitchen should contain. I remember my Mum regularly using the original 1968 version, I received a copy of the 1992...
The Bird Pocket Mayamin Dress. *happy*
I asked the daughter to pose for a few pictures so that I can show you the beauty that is the Bird Pocket Dundelina Mayamin Dress we were sent. She didn’t quite get the point at first… Yes!

But when I got to the spa, a nice woman showed me...
Lego 6860 – The Bat Cave. *meep*
Not to say we’re big fans of LEGO in this house, but if you look at this picture here… See those white tubs stacked up? They’re ALL full of LEGO. Oh yes. So when the Son asked for yet ANOTHER set for his birthday we may have rolled our eyes and huffed a little… but of course we gave in. Because really, there’s no other toy we’d rather buy. Nothing else has the play value, the durability, the...
Gorgeously Practical Maternity Coat from Vertbaudet
When I first found I was pregnant with baby #2 and my regular clothes started to nip in places they hadn’t before, my first stop was to search out my “pregnant” clothes from last time round. I despaired! Have styles and fashions (and my tastes!) REALLY changed that much in just 3 short years?! Er, yes. They have. So, it was back to the drawing board for my 9 month stretch in maternity wear. This is where the lovely Laura steps in and...
