Well what a weekend it has been, I feel like I haven't stopped! Yesterday we were in Newcastle and I picked up that tiny kabocha squash, a harlequin squash and some fresh coffee. I got some decaf, as one of the things I've become more aware of from doing the Super...
I LOVE Halloween. It is one of my favourite 'holidays' of the year. I have some wonderful memories from when I was a child as my sister and I would put my Mam's green eyeshadow (it was the 80's!) on our faces, a black bin liner on as a dress and then top it off with a...
