The Best Cheese Board – yes, of course you (don’t) need one.
I’m a sucker for a perfect cheese board. Of course we don’t get it out every week. But everyone loves sitting around at the end of a meal, nibbling on the cheese and accompaniments as you ‘fill up the corners’, finish up the wine and relax in the glow of a few hours spent in lovely company.And of course at Christmas, nothing beats it – and not just for when you’re entertaining. In the odd quietness...
3hrs of Original Tom & Jerry Cartoons for FREE! *happy*
Ten years ago, my then-small boys’ favourite TV watching pleasure was Original Tom & Jerry Cartoons. So much so that I tweeted this – (oh my days, those baby boys are all gurt big & man-sized now) The response was fast and universal. There was simply an outpouring of affection for the cat & mouse duo, squeaks of agreement and a lot of “my-son/daughter-loves-them-too!”. Whether those sons were 2 or...

Best Christmas Chocolate Box | The Wreath
I’ll admit it – every year I casually mention, in passing, that it would be lovely to have just one Best Christmas Chocolate Box. I don’t have a massively sweet tooth, I don’t partake of much in the way of sweets and sugar over Christmas (roast potatoes and cheese may be another matter)… but one of my favourite parts of Christmas is that quiet spell between Christmas and New Year when the guests have gone...
