It’s going to be a busy few days for everyone and I am keen to spend some time with my family. Thank you you so much for all of your support this year. I will be taking a blogging break now for a few days. Hope you all have a fabulous time.
Can you believe we are on week seven of #TinselTuesdays? I obviously started very early. Guess what though, if you hadn’t noticed, we have only two sleeps until the big man arrives. Yipeeeeee. Are your kids excited? Are you excited? I am. I am using the ‘you have to be good or Ill tell Father…
What’s the worst bit of Christmas for you? The rubbish TV? The chocolate overload? For me it’s the washing up. We plan and cook all this delicious food but don’t ever think of the washing up at the end of it. Things are much better at the farm. We have a dishwasher. Shock horror, when…
You’d think having a child myself would make it easier to choose presents for other people’s children but I am afraid it doesn’t. I feel as if I never get it right. Is it the right thing age-wise, will they play with it, will their parents hate me (think musical instruments, that kind of thing)….
A few weeks ago, Mackays sent me some festive jam and marmalade. I made something with the jam a week or so ago so next up was the marmalade. We had a little Christmas party at my mum’s at weekend so I offered to bake a cake. I decided on a chocolate orange cake as…

I love the smell of Christmas. Cinnamon, Apple, real Christmas trees. The smell is as important to me as the taste and the sight of Christmas. Think freshly baked mince pies, still warm from the oven and the warm feeling of Irish cream liqueur making its way down your throat while you are putting…
Welcome to week five of #TinselTuesdays. It’s getting even more Christmassy here. The tree is up along with a whole host of other decorations. They are proving to be too much temptation for Boo who has broken a few things. Never mind. I suppose that is what Christmas is all about. We had some lovely…
I started December with high hopes and enthusiasm. I bought two, yes two Elf on the Shelf and had visions of them getting up to mischief every day for Boo to marvel at. It started well. December 1st saw Elfy bungee in and spend the day hanging above the stairs from the living room to…
I thought it might be a nice idea to get Boo her own little Christmas tree for her bedroom. Another mum at ballet said she had got her daughter one from Asda for £5 including lights so I ordered one. I made a big thing of the tree surprise one afternoon when Boo came home…
