 Now is that time of year when everybody seems to disappear�it's the holidays and this week a bunch of the Church family have gone off to New Wine to relax with one another, be refreshed by God, challenged by God, and to have some fun.  God rested on the seventh day, so make sure you're...

Sunday Roast: mmmm unexplained bacon

Saved on 20/07/2008

So I have reached that point of loosing weight where your old clothes no longer fit, but you still aren’t fitting into the next size down in the shops either. I am having to resort to trousers and skirts held up with safety pins, belts and rolled-over waistbands. Which is lovely, don’t misunderstand...

Mini Chocolate Ginger Cakes

Saved on 16/07/2008

I have made a bit of a rod for my back at work by starting a tradition where I bake cakes for the team when it is someone’s birthday - well, I like to bake and if I bake for the team then it is not just me and Moose who are responsible for scarfing [...]

Ooh, it is a Sunday and I am willingly writing a Roast. I must be getting better! Actually, the week has been a bit pants, but with the aid of lots of tea and cookies it is looking up and I am all set to take on next week and whatever it has to throw [...]

The Measure of a Day

Saved on 10/07/2008

What is your measure of a day? I used to have an informal rating system based on toast. A day was either a soggy toast day (bad) or a crispy toast day, which was good. Seeing as how I am now denied bread and all bread-products - something that is very, very hard for me [...]

Saved on 10/07/2008
