Free chocolate at Koko Black When I recently asked for poetry recommendations after showing you a poem by Pablo Neruda, my mother responded by giving me The Bee Hut, a collection of poetry by the late Dorothy Porter. Oh, how it sears into me. I’m only halfway through, but I see echoes of my own [...]

I shan’t lie to you. I haven’t really been cooking anything new or exciting lately. I put this down to being heartsore, not sleeping well, and fighting anxiety on the frontline with a metaphorical sword that at times feels as hefty and threatening as a stick of powder-puff-pink fairy floss.

It’s time for another Bits and Bobs Mish Mash Confuzzled Post of Randomness! March’s edition runs the gamut from food to food and more food and then something that isn’t food. Get excited. Months before Vien sent me the Go Natural winnings and her delicious homemade pumpkin butter, we found ourselves chatting via email about [...]

I’ve heard that when you meet the right person, you know. I’d like to think that love could be that simple. That there could just be a feeling deep inside, a yearning mixed with a sense of completeness, that announces you’ve found an anchor and to to hold on for dear life in case the [...]
