Excuse the blurry photo but I was in a hurry to get these packaged up and in the post.
These are a few prototypes of my herb labels which I made the other week. This particular photo was taken before they got a few more layers of colour and their all-important varnish but I really love [...]

The vegetable that thinks it’s a fruit and oh so very tasty! There’s no denying it – I LOVE rhubarb! My sweet tooth particularly likes it in pies or crumble with lashings of cream and even a drizzle with some natural yoghurt and granola for breakfast.
It’s so simple to cook and it’s also amazingly simple [...]

I come from a family of hoarders. Both of my parenst love nothing more than poking about an auction viewing looking for treasures and bargains and then bidding for something that, if they’re honest, they don’t *really* need. Thankfully, this has been a blessing as moving from a flat into a large house, we’re going [...]

With the weather forecast for the weekend swinging towards toasty there’s even less reason not to try and make in along to Inverlieth Park in Edinburgh for this year’s Taste festival (unless of course you have to venture to your parents to celebrate your dad’s birthday!).
The sell-out event is back this summer in Inverleith Park [...]

You have probably seen the ads on TV and dismissed them as spin by the credit card company sponsoring the event but, if you take the time to look into The Big Lunch event scheduled for July 19th, you’ll see that it’s got it’s heart in the right place.

We may still be in the first month of the A Home For All Seasons website, but I’m pretty sure you will already have realised how enthusiastic we are about gardening and the idea of growing our own vegetables. Someone who feels equally passionate about the subject is [...]

Sometimes even the simplest of gestures can win you some serious brownie points. My particular forte is baking banana bread as due to my own dislike for banana flavoured foods (yes, even banoffee pie) if I make it my husband knows he can have it all to himself.
Ingredients:

250g of Plain Flour
2g of Baking Soda (I thought that [...]

Before meeting my husband and buying our new home/project I had big dreams of buying somewhere with space for a workshop and shop. There was one serious contender but it fell through and, a few years down the line, such things are no longer an option for me (yet!).
If they were however, I would be [...]
