We’ve actually done it – made the big decision to leave our lovely big house and Kitchen Garden for a smaller abode. The ‘Warts and All’ story of our emotional journey.
Back to “Sharing” very soon. Heavens! Has it been that long? I will be back to “Sharing” very soon, now that my Chemotherapy is over and done with (hopefully) and I will be able to taste food and drink as it really is, not as my weired-tasting mouth tries to con me into believing. What to […]
New Kitchen …… it begins at last! Can’t wait to tell you about our Kitchen news. So thrilled. Two years ago, we had an architect draw up plans for a sort of Garden Room with Kitchen plan, and all the necessary permissions were granted. Then last year we had to put the building work on hold, because […]
We’re Back in Business! Apologies! Mea Culpa! So Sorry! Why? Because since April 2015 we have, for various reasons, had time away from our food blog, sharingourfoodadventures.com. Some of you know that last year I was suddenly diagnosed with the dreaded Breast Cancer, but after a very early diagnosis, and lucky enough to be in […]
Well, this is it! Summer! At last it has come to East Yorkshire (and the rest of the UK) with temperatures so warm and humid that make our bones feel very happy. Two weeks of it so far, and enjoying every minute of it. How long it will last, no-one knows. But we are sure […]
Last weekend the weather was miserable. Cold and intermittent showers. But our friends, Steven and Lynne, drove out to Hornsea complete with all their professional gardening gear and proceeded to chop and trim our hedges which had grown leggy and far too tall. Dead bushes were dealt with, and those still with signs of life […]
Take an unknown kitchen, quite small, that Erik and myself are just getting used to. A fire alarm about 3 feet away from the kitchen in the hall. And a sudden mad wish of mine to chargrill a juicy, very thick slab of the best Rib-Eye steak, to eat in the Italian way. ‘Tagliata di […]
Yes. Excited! I can’t believe it myself. Oh how my life has changed. It used to be new shoes, or a new dress or even having my nails done. But now …… it’s a compost heap, made by Erik. This is it – the start of our new Kitchen Garden. OK, it’s a small start, […]
What a time to move! Snow, ice, downpours – and today winds from the Arctic are predicted to hit us all! But in our house in Hornsea we just don’t care. We are toasty warm and feel so cocooned from all that is horrendous out there in the East Yorkshire climate (except when we take […]
Downsize Diary: One Day More …… Where has the time gone. Only One Day More until we move to the seaside at Hornsea. We are, to put it not very politely, knackered! Erik’s knee has gone wonky, and my feet and ankles are so worn out, having trecked up and down 3 floors of our […]
Downsize Diary …… only 17 days to go …… Help! Where’s the time gone? All those weeks ago, it seemed like we had ages to pack up our big old house, but now I’m trying not to panic. And, truth be told, I’m a bit sick of packing. But the upside is that I am […]
