I apologise to those parts of the country it doesn’t apply to, but this has been a fantastic week of Spring sunshine here. The cows from the dairy are back in the fields, the daffs are out, the lawnmowers are growling over the unkempt winter lawns…definitely signs that Winter must be almost done! Which kind [...]

Muddy boots equal tasty burgers
March 7th, 2011 · No Comments · BBQs, Foodie gifts, Meat treats, Outdoor cooking, Places to shop online
The sun’s been out, briefly. It’s felt warmer. Which means thoughts have turned to…barbecues! Which means burgers. And burgers, proper burgers, are just too good to leave till summertime. So I’m thinking of ordering in a mixed box from Muddy Boots, and cranking up the grill. These are great sounding burgers, containing top quality beef [...]
The Friday Five – Roasting Australia

I’m not that into cricket, and I may well be tempting fate (writing this as I am on Thursday night) but with a fair wind (or possibly rain) by Friday morning the Ashes should have been won, not just retained, and there’ll be a bit of crying in beer going on, and the sun will [...]

I wrote over the weekend about how MGG and I had enjoyed lunch at the East Midlands Food Festival from Jack’s Artisan Pizza. I wrote about how amazed I was at the wood fired oven in the back of a horse trailer, that I’d never seen one before. Well, blow me, these things are like [...]
Time for Glastonbury but will there be food?
June 23rd, 2010 · 1 Comment · BBQs, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Foodie Travel, Outdoor cooking, Places to eat
Time for the trek to Somerset, tents at the ready, for Glastonbury. Will there be rain and mud, or just endless sun? And will there be anything to eat? And, to be honest, I’m never going to find out for real as I cannot imagine that this is ever going to be my scene. It’s [...]

Bring on the picnic!

I am not looking how long this weather is going to last, but it makes me think that picnic season is well and truly upon us. Which means digging out all the picnic gear, and finding out what’s missing. And if I find our picnic blanket has gone missing, or has a big hole in [...]
