I love Parkin, it’s a very special Yorkshire Treat and I just can’t get enough of it. That’s probably why I don’t cook it that often, because if I did, I’d probably be like a house-side. I made some for our bonfire night celebrations last year and then also popped it on my Christmas food… Read more »
The decorations came down today and that always makes me so sad. Christmas always goes so quickly but this year it seems to have flown by especially quickly. I wondered if it was because I’ve been at home more recently, I’ve been off work since the middle of November and so my days have been… Read more »
I’ve done a lot of cooking over the last few weeks but it’s mainly been of the sweet variety. I had the weekly pudding treats planned out over a month ago, yes I know it’s sad but I do like to be organised. I haven’t taken any pictures of any of them though, in our… Read more »
This would be our alternative Christmas card, if only money for printing wasn’t joyfully absent. Instead this year we had to settle for the mis matched collection left over from last year. My alternative Owen and Sarah come from the wonderful Mad Men Yourself.

I love my bike but I hate Sheffield roads (or I should say the lack of cycle lanes in Sheffield). I just don’t feel safe to ride my bike on the roads here anymore which is a shame, so instead we’re hatching a plan to go out and ride on the Tissington trail. The Tissington… Read more »
Phase 2 of the house renovation – preparing for the new central heating. This has been a long time coming, our boiler was born the same year we were, I don’t think I need to say more. Finally the plumber, us and our house are all in the same place at the same time and… Read more »
