Because I live so close to the beach, you might assume that when I’m not working, I pack up a picnic hamper and a deckchair, and head off for a day in the sun, but nothing could be further from the truth. Even though I live in Spain–the land of sun, sea, and sangria–I’m not…

We’ve adopted a dog! Well, we’re actually only fostering her at the moment — it’s a trial period to see if we suit each other, but I knew she suited us the moment I saw her, so there’s no chance of her going back to the shelter. She’s here for keeps now, unless she decides…

Ho, ho, ho! As it’s that time of year, I thought I’d share my Christmas (or anytime, actually) stuffing recipe again. It’s easy-peasy, and delicious. If you don’t eat meat, you can substitute it with mashed chestnuts or veggies. Either way, it’s a winner. Enjoy! Sausagemeat, Onion and Thyme Stuffing Ingredients • 2 medium onions…

Just dropping this note everywhere I can think of in response to messages I’ve had wondering where my Facebook group has disappeared to. Since Facebook changed to their new format, I’m having a few problems posting in certain groups–including mine, would you believe! I’m assured it’s just a glitch but it’s been this way ever…
