Victory Scotch Eggs – Cooking Through the Decades

Years go in a fit of optimism I thought I might occasionally post recipes on here. In actual fact I think I managed to share one, for Cranberry and Mulled Wine Stew. I do very occasionally post recipes on Lipstick, Lettuce & Lycra, but to be honest I’m really not organised enough to post recipes

This Week I…..

I’m going to be honest with you. Right now I’m so tired, and maybe just slightly hungover, that my eyes are a bit blurry. I’m  a person who really values regular quiet time. Early nights with a book and a hot chocolate, quiet evenings in front of the TV, a lazy afternoon with nothing to
