Sugar or a ‘healthy low calorie’ sweetener with your coffee?

I apologise for the tone of this article. It’s not my usual jovial style of writing, but, then this is a serious issue facing us all, both as adults and our children.

Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies

My Version of Dairy, Sugar and Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies! Yes, you read that right, a chocolate brownie without flour, dairy or sugar… unless you class eggs as dairy, then I’m scuppered!

Allotment News – 13/05/2014

Well, there I am in my shed at the allotment and when I turn round I thought a mouse had made a nest in a pot on the shelf. Little did I think it would be a birds nest! All I can hope is they will come back! Out of interest, I think… It’s either a…

Fizzy Drinks
