I also share my home with my husband and Barney, my lovable Frenchie x Beagle.

Homegrown Cuisine The Importance of Knowing Where Your Food Comes From

Nowadays we’re more disconnected to the sources of our food than ever. The growth of supermarkets means that we choose convenience over quality and often don’t have a clue where the products we’re buying were grown, how those involved in the production process are treated, or what additives, artificial colours or pesticides are used on them before they reach our plates. So why not start taking matters into your own hands and producing more of the food that you consume from in your own home.

Our August favourites | Mazes, bear hunts, and a holiday

Updated on

The month of August seems to have whizzed by in a blur! I think it’s because I tried to get lots of work, some more fun in, and the school shopping finished before we went on holiday at the end of the month.

I could just include everything we did on holiday in this post but then there wouldn’t be much room for anything else! So, I’m going to write about our holiday …
