I was lucky enough to be sent some new Whole Berry Juices from Ocean Spray. They certainly brightened up breakfast last week. Thicker than regular juices but thinner than a smoothie. They are a great addition to your breakfast table when you don’t have time to make your own. Ocean Spray crush 40 cranberries intoRead more
As always it’s been a pretty food fuelled week. I seem to be consuming a lot of cheese of late. Not that I am complaining. There was my day at Quickes Farm last week where more cheese was eaten in one day than I ever though possible. Plus my late night Sharpham wine and cheeseRead more

I started my week with a walk along the River Otter. It’s seriously beautiful down there and well worth a visit. Plus, you get to stop off at Otterton Mill for a cream tea! Delicious. After my walk it was back home to get ready for a trip to Topsham with Steve. We had aRead more
