House Goes Motorhome

After being shown 500 van conversions on Tik Tok by DD, I've decided they might be a bit too snug inside. Funky but squeezy. So I've moved on to motorhome porn. Unfortunately, most motorhomes are built using Renaults (no way, no how, run a mile) or Fiats (which also make me nervous). I want something... Continue Reading →

Recipes of the week: Cauliflower macaroni cheese & smoky chili beef

So much for photographing my recipes ... I forgot again. It gets so frantic at the pointy end of the day when I'm rushing to deliver three meals to a hungry family down the road. So, the main pic comes from Betty Crocker and her cauliflower mac & cheese recipe is a "skinny" one. Mine... Continue Reading →

I cried because it happened during this damn, never-ending lockdown and I'm over it. Aside from my own fragile emotional state;... Continue Reading →

My favourite way to start the day

A bloke came out with our... Continue Reading →
