There is an old fig tree down the hill from our house that is at least 80 years old. It had so many figs on it that we couldn’t eat them all last summer, so in my eagerness to embrace the harvest, I made about 16 jars of jam. It turns out that we are…

It’s been a busy old day around here. Washing be It’s been a busy old day around here. Washing bed linen, getting rid of the cobwebs that spring up so quickly. I even pulled everything out on the bathroom vanity and gave it a purge and deep clean. I have no idea how half the stuff got there 🤷‍♀️. For me January is a time to reset the house, de clutter and get sorted. Something about a new year perhaps? 🤔
Anyhow, here’s a pic of my freshly decobwebbed (totally a word) window  which makes me happy- just don’t look too closely!
I’ve been baking today, in between watching the I’ve been baking today, in between watching the news coming out of the US in disbelief. The mulberry tree has begun to fruit so I whipped up this mulberry yoghurt cake. It’s delicious and easy. The mulberries go all jammy and the cake is soft and not too sweet.
