Its March and its cold. So cold. I’m fed up with the cold now, it seems to be going on forever! I long to feel the sun on my face but I fear that may be a long way off. In terms of food, we’re now in what’s known as…
Its February and the weather is a bit grim. If I wasn’t training for this bleedin marathon I’d be hibernating along with the rest of the country. Unfortunately I am spending most of my evenings battling against the freezing cold wind, telling myself it will all be over soon. Luckily,…
Its January…a new year begins and I’m sure many of you are thinking that a new you will emerge. Christmas parties, dinners, mulled wine, mince pies, champagne, cake, pudding, chocolate (the list goes on and on…) will have taken their toll and most people will be starting to crave eating…
Well here it is, December, my favourite month of the year…I must admit, I do get slightly over-excited in the run up to Christmas and for me it all starts on 1st December. Every year I spend 1st December on the hunt for my perfect Christmas tree. Once that’s up, the…
So Halloween is over and the countdown to Christmas begins. How does it come about so quickly?! When the weather starts getting colder, we all tend to go into hibernation mode and crave comfort food. Luckily, this is the season for comfort food. Root vegetables are at their best and…

Well, here it is…September. When I started writing this post, I was in Scotland, visiting my family, and it looked like Summer had been side-stepped and Autumn had begun. I was tapping away on my laptop, wrapped up in a jumper I’d just bought (yes, I’m already shopping for jumpers)…
After a rather soggy June and July, I’m delighted that August is finally delivering some sun. As I type this, the sun is streaming through my livingroom window and it looks like its going to be a beautiful day. Pity I have to go to work in an hour! Considering…
Well, its July and its supposed to be Summer. Looking out the window, you could debate that! June was the wettest June in the UK since rainfall records began in 1910! It wasn’t only wet, it was cold and dull. We’re now in the first week of July and the…
June is one of my favourite months. It signals the beginning of summer, plus my birthday is in June and, as much as I seem to choke when I have to say my age these days, I love my birthday celebrations and getting all my friends together. This year we’re…
Well, April certainly lived up to its reputation this year. After an lovely warm March, the government issued a hosepipe ban and then of course, April came and it proceeded to rain almost every single day! It was actually the wettest April for over 100 years and reports of flood…
