Arthur is 17 weeks old today. He's been with us 8 weeks and Jasper is now only starting to come around. It's hard on senior dogs to accept a bundle of energy!

I had kind of forgotten how hard it is to raise a puppy! Bit like childbirth, it's all coming back to me now 😂 #dogsofbluesky #cockerspaniel #puppylove

I may be utterly crazy but this little bundle of deliciousness is joining our home in a few weeks' time. Say hello to Arthur! #dogsofbluesky #cockerspanielpuppy

I made brioche rolls today! No egg wash because eggs - shortage - expensive, I used buttermilk instead! Which was left over from making Soda Bread. Because it's nearly Paddy's Day ☘️

My poor bubba had his annual health check today, this year he was due vaccinations, his eye check on his deteriorating sight and blood tests. He's super sooky and sleepy right now but apart from his sight he's in top form 👍

New obsession unlocked. Terrariums. I found two huge glass vases out for council cleanup and turned them both into terrariums. You'd pay a fortune for them in a shop! 🌱🌿 #recycle #reuse #repurpose

Roasted garlic and rosemary focaccia, this weekend's bake. It's been far too hot to bake recently! Shouldn't wish the time away but I'm dreaming of autumn 🍂

Ok I made it through. It was ridiculously busy but everyone was kind, happy and a pleasure to serve which made it easier. I can now relax at home with family knowing I have 5 days off to recoup before facing the NY onslaught! Merry Christmas!

Please delivery drivers, take the 2 seconds to close gates securely behind you as you leave.
Today my dog seized his chance and took himself off on an adventure because our front gate was left open.
He's safe and unharmed thanks to the local community, my ticker on the other hand..😱

Panettone ready! My former co-worker and lovely friend opened his own bakery earlier this year and has made the best Panettone I have ever tasted. Beats shop bought - boxed months ago - dry as hamster bedding ones pants down 👊

This was a snapshot of my birthday gifts last week. I am sensing a theme here....and that there's going to be a lot of pasta in my future 😆

Feeding my starter. Tomorrow I will mix and shape. Wednesday after work I can bake 👊
And in case you're interested, my starter's name is Daisy 😜

Today is a great day! Our home build teardrop camper that was a much needed distraction in the early days of cøvid has been weighed and ready for rego. Can't wait to hit the road! Any other teardrop fanatics on here?
