Lemon and honey loaf
There is truly an abundance of lemons at the moment. Golden skinned and juicy, it is such a shame to see them go to waste. Lucky for me, my neighbour (this same neighbour) has a stunning lemon tree and is …
The lady ‘flu + a blackcurrant and apple pie
I have recently suffered from the lady ‘flu. It is different from the man ‘flu because, a. I don’t whinge about it every 5 seconds, and b. I actually do something about it and take medicine and vitamins. Blackcurrants are one …
