I am incredibly fortunate to have married a lovely person, and a fabulous cook, which has led me to become a little lazy when it comes to sharing duties in the kitchen. My excuse your honour, is that there is no way I would live up to the incredibly high standards of Denise…. But IContinue reading “Jan 18 – My turn to cook??? You’re joking, right???”

Owning a dog (especially a Large Munsterlander) can be very therapeutic. They are great characters, and you never know what might occur next….
