Browsing the Lakeland website, as I am wont to do, I came across a new range from the Hairy Bikers. Now I have to admit to a bit of a soft spot for Si and Dave, and we loved having them here in the village when they were filming at the Red Lion. It was [...]

Making Your Own – Retro Sweetie Bags
August 16th, 2010 · No Comments · British favourites, Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Make your own, Sweet treats

On a scouting session this weekend to see what was new I found a very attractive display of retro sweets, in bags and jars. With what felt like comparatively large price tags for the effort. For [...]

Which means it’s going to start appearing…prepare yourselves. If you need to work out what [...]

I was out and about in Mornac-sur-Seudre yesterday, a very pretty village, now a very artistic community on the banks of the river. It has pretty shops and restaurants; you could head out in canoes along the river, or just watch the world go by from a terrace with a glass of pineau. If you [...]

It’s a terrible thing. No one warned you that Christmas was coming, and this year it was going to be on December 25th. How inconsiderate! So, you can face into it being a very cold and lonely Christmas sat out in the shed if you buy nothing at all. Or, worse, buy something really horrid [...]

Treat your foodie to a night off with great foodie films

Thought I’d offer up a bit of variety in the present choices for the foodie in your life, with some DVD choices of films that celebrate food. Some are old, some newer, all will have them working out how to recreate some of the dishes, and probably stomachs rumbling! Here’s a few to choose from: [...]
