Every morning I have Flahavan’s porridge (oatmeal) for my breakfast with a coffee. It really is the only thing that keeps me full until lunch, to stay nice and healthy I usually make it using water instead of milk and I add spices like cinnamon to give it some flavour. The other day however I […]
This May bank holiday weekend was spent relaxing and enjoying the great weather. Dave was not off shooting a wedding at the weekend so we got to spend it together (yay) we used it to full advantage and ate out at my particular favourite bistro in Kilkenny Foodworks, we visited friends, I painted my garden […]
