Sloe Gin and DIY Ginfusions
I know I regularly bang on about it, but we are so lucky to live where we do. Our house is in a town called High Wycombe, located in Buckinghamshire. The fast train into London has us at Marylebone Station in 23 minutes, but just a 10 minute walk from our house is this. Pretty… Continue reading Sloe Gin and DIY Ginfusions
Mini Ginny Crumbles
6 weeks into lockdown and it got me thinking back to the beginning of November last year, just before Torin was born. I worked up until 39 weeks and only stopped then because it was the October half term holidays. When everyone went back to work the following Monday and I was left twiddling my… Continue reading Mini Ginny Crumbles
Cantium Gin
After what has felt like an absolute age, I've finally got this parenting malarkey nailed enough to be able to get back into my writing again.

Erm...absolutely yes! Baby Button is due in a couple of… Continue reading The Gin Box – A Great Gift Idea

Personally, I'm a tennis fan, with Wimbledon being my sporting highlight of the year. I go into full on screaming at the TV mode, particularly when… Continue reading Nicholson Gin

Lyme Bay – Pink Grapefruit Gin
A wee while ago I was contacted by Lyme Bay Winery to ask if I fancied trying out some of their gin. I'd seen a flurry of posts across social media and was most definitely intrigued..."Yes please!" Lyme Bay Winery have two different gins under their belts and I was keen to see which would… Continue reading Lyme Bay – Pink Grapefruit Gin
Gin and Tonic Drizzle Cake
Well, this bank holiday weekend isn't looking like it's going to be quite as fabulous as the Easter one, not here anyway. Although it's not raining just yet, the grass is a little on the soggy side out there and the sky has a scattering of cloud. So, in the absence of reaching for my… Continue reading Gin and Tonic Drizzle Cake
