It’s a rainy day and for the life of me all I feel like doing is embroidery. Sitting down with a hoop and some silk and painting a picture with thread. We’re camping though, albeit in a house, with most of our possessions still packed away in a shed – for the most part it’s…

Maggie Beer’s Peaches
One of the brilliant things about moving is that I don’t have my cookbooks… nor do I have all my standard equipment. Brilliant you say? I hear you! It’s been difficult but I reckon it’s been awesome because I’m trying out new recipes and new ways of doing things. It’s also wonderful because I have…

Finally, a gluten free bread we can make at home
Previous to Mr Incredible being diagnosed with a wheat allergy we made all our bread at home. We often still do for the kids and I but I lost a lot of drive to do this after diagnoses. Firstly, he couldn’t eat it and he ate a lot of it. Secondly, for those who love…
