Current crush →. August 11, 2015. So, the Festival of Quilts. Was not just about quilts. Obviously, it was about quilting supplies too. Everywhere you looked there was a hugely brisk trade in fabrics, wadding, gadgets, novelties, buttons, sewing machines, and just about every other quilting-sewing-crafting-associated thing you could think of. This, I think, was probably the. Attraction of the show for many. But I went with no expectations and no intention of buying anything. But I was wrong…. Tanja admir...

Sometimes Up a Mountain in Andalucia and sometimes Down by the Sea on the English South Coast. The Vegetable Patch – El Huerto. A return to the simple life. We’ve eaten chicken (reared by a pal who gifted us two hefty chicken thighs and drumsticks) cooked in one of our cazuelas with peppers, onions, garlic, olive oil and wine. And rabbit, marinated in a paste made of thyme and rosemary from the garden with our own olive oil and lemon and a neighbour’s garlic then cooked on the barbecue. The chef mimi blog.

March 24, 2015. By Cecilia Mary Gunther. Yesterday John had the day off so he finished and brought home my Winter present. He does not do Christmas and Birthday presents he makes winter presents. Last year it was a chicken tractor. This year it is a free standing home made hay feeder. I took a photo of a NZ one when I was travelling and he set to and made me one of my own. Isn’t that wonderful. The car feeder is now for minerals and grain. I have a bad habit of rushing through my day (and my planning) wi...

Life and Creativity in the South of France. Laquo; Seeing Hexagons. In A Big Nutshell. Back in May, my friend of umpteen years had a very significant birthday ending in a ‘0’ and I’m sure she won’t mind me saying that it wasn’t her 20th – or even her 30th – but I’ll stop there. I couldn’t resist knitting another giant blanket and, this time, I chose a rusty orange colour that I knew would go with the décor in her flat in the U.K. Then we went out for dinner here……. Next blanket will be for my Mum who has...
