A while back, I did a post that talked about banana balls and my idea of becoming a food influencer. Well, I'm not sure I've done enough to convince you of any other recipes. To call today's post a recipe would be a bit of a stretch! But, it is a tip that will serve …

An axe to grind
I recently took a trip to the New Forest and I am absolutely buzzing as it has given me some content for the blog! This one looks at a slightly bolder activity from the weekend - axe throwing. I must admit, when we suggested that was what we could do, I pictured an axe that …
We’re swinging again
Before you worry about where this is going, I think you need to get your head out of the gutter. Today I'm basically doing a post where I can brag about leaving the house! Last week, I took a trip to Twickenham to watch the rugby and it really did feel like the end of …
Wishes under the willow tree
For today's blog post, we're back at Catherine's Corner's Book Club. This time, I'm reviewing Phaedra Patrick's Wishes under the willow tree. It's set in a sleepy village village on the Moors where a man who runs a shop sees elements of his life unravelling. His wife has moved out, his assistant is about to …
Is green enough?
This week, the UK Government unveiled a new financial product through NS&I. This was a product designed to help consumers contribute to the green revolution, so money gained through the investments will be spent on renewable energy projects. That's a nice way to do a bit of ethical investing, and being a fixed year bond …
Take a touchdown
I love a bit of live sport on the television, but last week I watched a sport I'd never really given time to before. And there was one thing I learned. I won't be watching American Football again. I'll be honest I must have only watched a couple of minutes of the game, but that …
It’s getting hot in here
Shock, horror! Today's post's emotion is not quite anger or rage which you will have come used to, but potentially excitement. I know. You're in for a real treat. You may remember a post about the farm's heating system - if not, read it here. Well for the eagle-eyed amongst you winter has arrived. Cold …
10 / 10
Despite the title suggesting this is a perfect experience, the reality is far from it. A few months back, I bought some jeans from a well known high street store. I liked the fit so when the time came to upgrade my blue jeans I thought I'd go back to the same supplier. Truth be …
Frivolous photo
The time has come for me to update my photo driving licence. Having heard some of the stories of the DVLA backlog, I decided to crack on with a month or so to spare - I don't want to be left being told I can't get club entry as I don't have a valid ID …
From Zero to 100?
Thank god for some live sport for some blog content. Today, I'm looking at the new cricket format. The Hundred. For those that haven't watched it, it is a simple content of 100 balls to each team and the team that scores the most wins. Couldn't be more simple than that. However, for those that …
