Woodburner Kiln Dried Logs from Certainly Wood

Logs are not a thing I’ve ever thought much about. I mean, we’ve had a fire pit in the garden for years – but it’s fed from the pile of logs we’ve collected on walks in woods, leftover scraps from DIY projects, our Christmas trees, scavenging waste wood we see out and about – it grows organically without much thought. But once had booked installation day for the new woodburner, we knew we had to...

The One Where We Have To Choose A Log Store – who knew?

So once we knew the woodburner was on its way, we realised we now had a whole new raft of considerations; not least of which was where we were going to store all the wood. We needed to choose a log store. Now we have a pretty decent garden storage area that we had literally created out of nothing this year – but it’s really not perfect for a log store. Firstly, it’s way down the bottom of the garden –...

Whittard Hot Chocolate. Just Don’t Do It. (it’ll ruin you forever)

If I said Whittard of Chelsea to you, I bet you’d immediately say TEA! I know I would have. So it was a bit of a surprise when they sent us some Hot Chocolate. But hey – only a fool ever says no to Hot Chocolate, right? These three. Dark, Milk and White Hot Chocolate, all in on neat little gift box. Yum. Yumyumyum. The chocolate is smoo-o-ooth, and creamy, and deliciously chocolatey. It just tastes like a cup of melted...

Thermos Stainless King Flask 1.2L | Pre-Christmas Shopping

We love this classic red Thermos Stainless King Flask (we’ve got the big 1.2l, but other sizes are available). It’s so pretty it’s a perfect & practical gift for Christmas, or perhaps to store some festive hot toddy or iced drink in to take to family and friends over the holiday period. Unbelievably it will keep whatever you put inside it either hot or cold for 24 hours, yes a whole 24 hours, how amazing is that!...

*LOVE* these delicious Woodland Cosy Pyjamas from Powell Craft

As jane Austen might have said (if she knew they existed), it’s a truth universally acknowledged that every one needs a perfect pair of pyjamas. And Powell Craft? They make as near perfect as a person can get. We’ve been huge fans since wa-a-a-ay back when Snugg Nightwear sent us a beautiful Powell Craft Fairy nightie for the then-3-yr-old Bear in 2010. And all these years later? We’re still HUGE fans. Bear still...

The JML NutriBlitzer Review – it’s not just for smoothies! (also – Spicy Tomato Soup Recipe)

I was really keen to try out the Nutri Blitzer from JML – pretty much everyone knows this house is on a bit of a health kick these days. But alongside the husband kicking his T2 Diabetes I have a house filled with teen boys. Who seem to sprout another inch every time my back is turned (honestly – it’s genuinely alarming meeting a shuffling man-shape looming out of the dark on the landing at 2...
