Recipes I once posted

Lockdown meals need to be quick, comforting and tasty. Here are a few recipes I’ve posted on Instagram over the past year. Wild garlic pesto is on everyone’s feeds at the moment and it’s growing in abundance in my local woods. If you’re lucky enough to pass some on your daily walk, do pick some […]

Bread

Last time I wrote a blog post, I’d actually never heard of coronavirus. That was in December when the virus was starting to spread in China – and now the whole world is in lockdown. Things have slowed down in every aspect of our lives and we can no longer travel to the office, pop […]

Blackberry picking
