Hello Eleanor, when I licked my fingers after accidently spilling a drop of the vodka it tasted lovely! Just like an alcoholic Mars Bar (funny that!). Glad Im not alone in my dislike of snow.

I don't really mind January. After all it's the month that saw the birth of one of our children so it's one of my favourites. Then there's all that obligatory snuggling under blankets on the sofa and eating of stew... Continue reading

It has been a long time. So long, I daren't look at the blog itself and see when I last posted. I'm not entirely sure what happened there. I have, really, sort of weaned myself off the internet. Well, off... Continue reading

It's been very hectic round here and I'm not very good at hectic. So while a poorly little one napped on the sofa (the joy of large families means illness works its slow way around everyone for what feels like... Continue reading

I am going to be predictably boring and lament the fact that it's now July. JULY! The speed that time whizzes by never ceases to amaze me. Of course, I had to check the calendar (word of the day one... Continue reading

It has been another lousy year in the garden. Partly my fault and partly the weather. And there appears to be an all-you-can-eat evening cafe for rabbits that has set up business at the allotment. But let's not focus on... Continue reading

Lunch

Lunch is my favourite meal of the day. It's important that wherever you are at lunchtime, you make time to show show yourself some love by having a lovely meal. And I'm not talking about a sandwich. Huge salads, home-made... Continue reading

It's been a while since I've written here. There's no great reason why, except that when you stop it is so much harder, the longer the break, to start posting again. I've been thinking about how I blog and why.... Continue reading

Make a Bird Nest Building Buffet

Things have been extraordinarily stressful at Carrots Cottage this last week and a bit, but one of the most soothing things I've found is watching birds in the garden. I stand at the kitchen window sipping coffee, thumbing through a... Continue reading

Book Review: Garden Crafts for Children
Image
When I was very kindly asked by the publishers if I would like to review Garden Crafts for Children by Dawn I was a little trepedatious. My bookshelves groan with children's gardening activity books. I even have a beloved favourite.... Continue reading

Image

That cusp between two seasons, when you can feel it tipping over into something fresh, is one of my favourite times. I think I love all seasons but I love them best at their beginning. So, invigorated by spring's arrival,... Continue reading
