Cookhouse and Pub, Rhyl | Review

by Stacey April 18, 2018April 18, 2018

Photo by Rachel at Coffee, Cake, Kids During the last couple of years we’ve taken our annual holiday during the summer, but this year we decided to go away over the Easter break. Whilst we usually make a trip to Norfolk, this year we made the decision to visit North Wales instead. With yet another change for our holiday, we often stay in a private cottage but this year we opted for a caravan and spent a week at Presthaven; just a few miles away from the seaside town of Rhyl. Rhyl seafront is currently undergoing a large regeneration project, and …

Green’s Chocolate Egg Cake Kit | Review

by StaceyUpdated on October 27, 2020March 26, 2018

And even more so, when it has chocolate eggs on top too! But sometimes you just can’t be bothered to bake from scratch, or you don’t have the time, or the kids want to bake and you get a bit argh when they make too much of a mess because they want to “help”… But thanks to Green’s and their new Chocolate Egg Cake Kit, you can quickly & easily whip up an Easter …

Festivity with Prestige Flowers | Review

by StaceyUpdated on December 20, 2017December 21, 2017

One of my favourite sights in my house is a bunch of flowers on display. I think it’s such a welcoming sight for guests, and you can’t beat the smell of a fresh bunch. I don’t get bought flowers very often (hint, hint, Husband), so I usually buy them myself. Alternatively, I make my own display with cuttings from the wildflowers in the garden. My usual floral display around Christmas time is a poinsettia plant. I just love the colourful reds and golds of the festive season. A few weeks ago though, the lovely people at Prestige Flowers sent me a bunch …
