Sloe, sloe, quick slurp, sloe

how to make scrummy sloe gin

Tweet

Sorry… terrible title but I couldn’t resist.  I have a sneaking suspicion that thinking it’s funny may be more to do with an afternoon in the kitchen surrounded by gin fumes than it actually being, well, amusing

I’ve had a lovely time pottering – there is something about filling up kilner jars and decanting various [...]

The sun is shining, the snow has melted, admittedly the garden is like a bog but hey it is starting to feel like perhaps, just perhaps it is getting closer to Spring

Weekend projects – crochet hat

That was my weekend – wall to wall poorly cuddles from Littler and a chance to demonstrate Mummy multitasking at it’s [...]
