Source Ingredients: butter, for greasing 6 large dried lasagne sheets 75g/2¾oz mature Cheddar cheese, grated For the pork and spinach sauce: 1 … Continue reading Lasagne Express
My creative mojo has been missing of late; I didn't create a traditional 12x12 page for almost a month. Earlier this week, I went back to basics. I returned to one of my favourite online classes for photos of our great nephews - Shimelle's 4x6 Photo Love class. Sometimes, simplicity is key. I made a … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2020 #8
"GET AWAY FROM MY MUM!" During our recent visit to Kew Gardens, we had an encounter with a lady who didn't appear to understand the concept of socially-distancing.

Life, as we know it, is in suspended animation. The world is still turning. The sun is … Continue reading Life in Lockdown | Life on Hold

(Our favourites - Hughenden and … Continue reading A Socially-Distanced Return to Waddesdon Manor
Week 21: It was week 10 of Lockdown and I found it hard going ... but the positives were there. 🙂 Week 22: A much better week. The three rose bushes I planted in the first week of Lockdown are now flowering and they are glorious. Step aerobics and I are falling back into a … Continue reading Project Life Revisited | Weeks 21 and 22
Her face says it all. Not impressed at having been dried off, she'd prefer smelling of Eau de Wet Dog.
Two months in and I love this project! It's been a real blast down Memory Lane; remembering events and/or people I haven't thought about in years. I've been surprised by a number of things: I write exactly as I think, without worrying too much about spelling and a correctly placed comma.
