It was my time to shine yesterday; we were all invited along to the Maverick Book Launch. It was an extra special lunch for the new authors.   It was also the first time that anyone had seen the new books! It was soooooo exciting!

I hitched a ride back to the Palace in a handy horse-drawn carriage that was waiting outside. I had to move along the seat when a bloke in red and a lady in a lacy white dress got in.

My first thought upon reading it was, “WOW, this is crazy! But so cool!!†I suppose though this can be taken as a fine compliment, especially when followed by the fact that The Fearsome Beastie reminded me of such… Read More »BookDad Review for Fearsome Beastie

Not only do I love Pancake Day and Christmas I also LOVE Easter. All that chocolate…Yum! But I’ll tell you what – my absolute favourite Easter snack is chocolate nests with mini eggs! Perfect to make on a bank holiday…So I thought I would share my recipe with you.

Hello everyone! It’s a bit late but thought I would write a quick blog to tell you about my recent top hat event. Daisy was recently nominated for Cheshire Woman of the Year – so I donned my top hat and bowtie (any excuse!) to go with Daisy to the awards ceremony. It was good to meet so many inspirational people (and see the latest hat-fashion).  I got so excited… Read More »Top Hat and Bow Tie Time!
