We had a first here today, D made her dad a cup of tea! She chose the mug too. Life skills is something that her SN school focus on, we get diary notes occasionally saying that her class had made a hot drink and it’s something that, even though she only drinks water, is a […]
This week’s recipe is one that I’ve seen in variation on so many blogs, but wanted to try it for ourselves. It took a while to track down the book I got the recipe from, but it was worth the wait, it’s packed full of speedy, but tasty looking recipes. I didn’t take any pictures […]
One of my little extravagances if I pop into town, is a cheese scone from M&S, no butter or margarine with it, just on its own. Town trips are few and far between in the summer holidays as getting T beyond our garden fence is a challenge, he just prefers to be at home. So, […]

We’ve been having fun in the kitchen today, a bonus for me that it involved a few giggles and some fruit too. Today’s recipe came from adaption of a feature in D’s Girl Talk Art magazine, it was entitled “Brilliant Bananas” but our version is more of a cake-pop effect, so we’ve called them Fruit […]
