Christmas Movies

At this time of year, I love to watch Christmas movies. In the UK,Christmas 24 plays a lot Hallmark Christmas movies and every opportunity I get I will watch them. They maybe saccharin sweet and cheesy, always very predictable and squeaky clean but they make me feel a tiny bit Christmassy, even just for the length of the movie. Above is some of my favourites from the past couple of years, but three classics, Elf, The Santa Clause and Miracle of 34th Street.

Wishing you Merry Christmas movie watching

Quick Catch Up

Hi All I've been absence from this blog for a while as unfortunately my beloved hubby has been diagnosed with cancer. We have caught it early and the prognosis is very good and positive. It has been a strange year all round and the last couple of months have been more stressful and worrying to say the least. Things are now on the up and thus I feel it is time I get back into updating this little blog of mine, and this little catch up is to say I am coming back. I am planning more regular content, showcasing my crafty endeavours, what I'm reading and life in general I am also pondering a better and more productive blog schedule for 2021. Watch this space. With love and wishing you a good week Lesley xx

Eating for England by Nigel Slater

Any one who knows me knows I adore Nigel Slater. He is pure comfort and joy. I absolutely love his writing and I was surprised that I wasn't aware of this little gem of a book before. (It was published in 2007). As stated from the book, Eating for England is Nigel Slater's personal portrait of the British and their food. A celebration of the glories, humour, eccentricities and embarrassments that make up that extraordinary thing that is the British table. This a collection of mini essays celebrating such delights as Faggots and Gravy, Murray Mints, Oxo Cubes, Fruit and Nut, Frys Five Centres, Boiled Brussels Sprouts , Quality Street, Colmans Mustard and Sarsons Vinegar to name but a few. This book is nostalgic, funny, and is a delight to read. As usual when I read anything by Nigel, I hear his voice in my head, as if he is personally reading it to me. I loved this and gave it 5 stars. Happy reading Love Lesley xx
