Travels with my dad

February 18, 2015

I love spending time with my dad, he is a card! And for 83 surprisingly fit and active! So it was a complete pleasure to take him to Scotland last weekend to visit Splosh & Irish baby in their beautiful home in Blairgowrie. Mountains, snow, arsing about and lots & lots of laughing! There is of course always a touch of sadness that my mum never got to see their beautiful home, or even meet Irish baby for that matter - but I know she was there with us and laughing alongside all the fun! So here it is, a video memory of my long weekend in Scotland! Any chance you have to go … [Read more...]

Food is my Figure painting

July 21, 2014

  “If it's flipping hamburgers at McDonald's, be the best hamburger flipper in the world. Whatever it is you do you have to master your craft.” Snoop Dogg (yep that Snoop Dogg)   As you no doubt are already aware we like to refer to ourselves as a 'crafty family'.   That is not to say that we are particularly wily or cunning, although my dear Mumsicles has been compared to a fox with two tails.

Walks with my Dad part 1

April 18, 2014

I love spending time with the old bugger, And I often go for walks with my Dad. We talk over old rubbish and family stories. He tells me tales of his misspent youth during the blitz and generally put the world to rights! And I love it! He found an old book tucked on the top of a shelf - the Ordnance Survey Leisure Guide for East Anglia (printed in 1993) and we've decided to work out way through all the walks there are in it. Ranging from North Norfolk to The South Essex Coast. So the first one was Stutton village and coast. A tiny village on the estuary close to Manningtree. Perfect spring … [Read more...]

A lovely (if chilly) day out and victorian cooking

February 23, 2013

To celebrate the end of the half term, and Hubby and Bernards impending return to school/college, we decided to have a grand day out with my darling dad. So with lots of warm layers, and woolly hats we set of for Audley End  the scene of many happy childhood days out. i had no idea just how many bits of the pig people will eat! And as part of the the ''Everything but the squeak'  programme the kitchens were in full swing preparing a huge array of pork based cooking - from noses and ears to toes and tummies! And as a keen hisotrical cooking nut, the most impressive thing was … [Read more...]
