Those of you who follow me on Instagram may already know that I have only recently arrived back from holiday. What you may not know however, is that it was the first holiday I have been on in many years. In fact it was the very first time my son had ever been on holiday…

Apple Cinnamon Tea Cake
Last week I was told by a friend, one I don’t know all that well, that they were surprised to hear about my wild teen years and ‘troubled’ past. They had always thought I was so conservative. Conservative! I couldn’t believe it! It’s been on my mind ever since. It is quite intriguing how other…
