My Dream Kitchen – At Last We downsized almost five years ago from a huge house with a big kitchen to a smaller house with a horrible, tiny kitchen, but now I have my dream kitchen, at last. So thrilled. The first year here, we got planning for a large extension, but when I first became poorly, […]
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 […]
Fingers Crossed – Facing Chemo Again! No-one was more surprised than myself! I’d been gardening madly to get my huge garden (pictured below) tidy enough to open to raise money for the brilliant Marie Curie Cancer Charity. Then one morning I was putting on some sun cream and felt a knobbly lump on my Collar-Bone […]
How Time Flies …… The well-used expression, How Time Flies, is used so much in conversation, often when two people have spent a few minutes (or hours) of reminiscing about the past. But the past can be yesterday, a few months ago or years gone past. Who hasn’t used it some time or another? Time flying past […]

Yesterday (the day of the Tour de Yorkshire beginning), our weather decided to give us almost […]
Belated Happy New Year 2016! OK. I know. I’m sorry. It’s April now, and I’m back. To blogging that is. I know it’s a long time since my fingers touched the blogging keys on my computer, but just wanted to wish all of you, wherever you are, a very Belated Happy New Year 2016. Our […]
Christmas is coming … and I’m trawling through tons of catalogues about cookware, tableware, Christmas food, Christmas recipes, furry throws and cushions, gardeners gifts – in fact, this will be my own fantasy wish list for this year’s Christmas celebrations. Our Kitchen extension is almost ready, our dining room needs radicaly updating, and the rest of the […]
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 […]
