Today was SUPER busy in the test kitchen but I did manage to find the time for a cuppa and chat with a friend and then a walk with the dancing daughter in the beautiful sunshine. I know the pleasant daytime temperatures won’t be here for much longer, so we are using every last moment [...]
Happy Mother’s Day!!! Today was such a wonderful and glorious day that started with the beautiful sunrise, a showering of gifts from my fantastic family, and an absolutely superb breakfast out with the family and my Mother in Law.
