What a lovely little market- which we just about survived - gone are the days of a relaxing family stroll around a market place, and I don't and will never take Isla to a supermarket !. We went as a family and I managed to get some nice fresh produce while Paul looked out for [...]
CINNAMON BISCUITS This was a little something Lola made me for my Birthday. As I'm typing I ask her what she did - she's tells me she randomly made it up ! Plain flour, Sugar, 2 egg, Cinnamon, Butter ( which I don't actually buy any more but Lola did some shopping herself- kind of [...]

We spent a few days enjoying this particular area- we've found it even more wild than before, as in, a lot less people, traffic, or housing around, so very quite and natural. It was actually my Birthday and I felt like finding a quite little spot to just hide from the world. The girls spoilt [...]
