Wendy Brandon, I salute you

Your Greengage Jam is sublime.

Hmmm Ercol

Mmmm... I'm pining for this Ercol bench to go in my new flat. Better find a job first, hey?

On the move...

Hmm... that's annoying. Didn't mean to include the shop's logo. Still, have just purchased one of these prints to go on the walls of our new flat in Falmouth... in the mist of packing with the cricket on in the background.

If you'd like one yourself you can purchase one here - surprise surprise, at twentytwentyone ;)

Biscuits are a girl's best friend

Oh yes indeedy - who needs silly old diamonds anyway? Now how to drop the hint to my class that I'd like to receive these lovely ones from Biscuiteers instead of a box of Roses at the end of term? Hmm...

tip off came from the lovely Greg

More on camping

I am totally obsessed with these tents at the moment. I want one, pure and simple. And I don't think I'll shut up about it until I've got one. Hmph.

Cold at night

I meant to post about this a week or so ago, but things have been a little odd lately, y'know how it is. Anyway, over half term we went for camping for a few days at Fforest, near to Cardigan in Wales - and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Tents are well spaced out (no more than 8 tipis in one field, spaced around the edge), and include a wood-burning stove - making it definitely not coldatnight, as their url suggests. Additionally you get your own kitchen area, there's a Cedar Barrel Sauna in the woods, films shown at night, fresh breakfast is included... I could go on.

Anyway, as it was (kind of) for my birthday I had the additional bonus of an Ottolenghi meringue (thanks Tash!) to tuck into when I arrived. How smug am I?

Gooseberry & Elderflower Jam vs School Reports

Always good to get side-tracked productively, and with 28 school reports to write, who can blame me? I look forward to trying this jam later on :)

recipe available, if anyone's interested, let me know.
