Changes To My Blog

Well, as I had some extra time on my hands over the isolated festive season (no complaints about the company of dear Robert, but we had anticipated seeing lots more family before we were placed in Tier 4), I have been playing around with my blog. Essentially, I chose a different theme, and I feel …

I Gotta Get One Little Taste

I was very pleased at the enormous selection of songs I came up with today in response to the Song Lyric Sunday theme. Despite being rather busy I have to admit, I made time to pick one song. In fact the song I have chosen is one I have often heard on the radio without …

Nutcracker Cheesecake

Caramel is hosting CARAMEL'S COCKTAIL CLUB. She has asked us to post a photo of what we are eating today. Robert and I decided to make a start on our feasting early with some Nutcracker Cheesecake - think chocolate, hazelnuts, gold dusted topping - does it say Marks & Spencers to you? Well, you are …

THIS FRIDAY – CARAMEL’S COCKTAIL CLUB!

Robert and I have had to cancel our plans for the holidays now we are in Tier 4. But we will be dropping in for a virtual party on Friday at Caramel's Cocktail Club. Check out her post below!

Winter

I never really hang too much importance on the official date that marks the start of a season. It has felt like winter for the past few weeks. I am rather looking forward to the days gradually growing longer and longer now until spring. There was some disappointment when London entered Tier 3 social distancing …

London – We Can Do This!

Spread the word....the wonderful Caramel is hosting a special event on Friday for all of us who will be alone. CARAMEL'S COCKTAIL BAR! She is inviting us to look out for her Friday post and chat to each other while we are all by ourselves this year. I am sure there will be many other …

Barely Burnt Basque Cheesecake

We recently watched an episode of Nigella Lawson scandalising any of her new viewers with the revelation that she is the proud owner of a liquorice box, with an international assortment of liquorice that would dissolve teeth within minutes. She has had that box for a long time. Nothing was going to possess me to …

It’s Hip To Be Square

Today's Song Lyric Sunday is shaping up to be a great selection of songs - did you like that? Yes Jim has given us a list of shapes to choose from. I have chosen square. This track will always get my foot tapping. I am trying to recall which movie(s) it has been used in. …

My Sensational Stockings

When I was a teenager I discovered the joys of printed tights. My mother wanted us to dress in clothes that were not going to get us into too much trouble - quite right too mum - and although some of my schoolmates hiked their skirts up or wore tight or revealing tops, I was …

Not Just Mulled Wine, M&S Mulled Wine

Usually I would be making my own mulled wine and baking my own mince pies. But we are not having guests due to being in Tier 3 social distancing restrictions. So, as it is just Roberts and I (Wills has gone to stay with his parents now that university is on a break), we are …
