Cornucopia: A symbol of plenty consisting of a goat’s horn overflowing with flowers, fruit, and corn. (This definition is according to ‘the internet’, so not guaranteed to be entirely correct, but I really like it. Although with the goat’s horn it seems perhaps a bit pagan?!) I’m not sure if it was just me who […]

Something wicked this way comes
Mr M and I tend to get rather overexcited about Hallowe’en, so we’re looking forward to next weekend. We’ve already got the decorations down from the attic and will probably spend a ridiculous amount of time making our living room into some sort of spooky Dracula-style cave dwelling, as we do each Hallowe’en. A bit […]
As mentioned in my previous post, Box Pizza is a fantastic pizza delivery business in Leeds. The service is brilliant and, most importantly, the pizza is amazing. Box Pizza has created a fantastic offer for my Twitter followers and blog readers, as well as Mr M‘s: 10% off when you quote “Murricane Madness” when placing […]
I was asked to review Domino’s Pizza, and was sent a free voucher to do so – any pizza, any size – fantastic! So, in true Friday night fashion, Mr M and I ordered in. We checked the menu on the website where you can order your pizza online, but as we were using a […]

Dining at Dough Bistro
A couple of weeks ago, Mr M and I tried out Dough Bistro in West Park, Leeds. What interested me most about Dough was the focus on locally sourced food. I can’t believe that more restaurants don’t do this as a matter of course (ha), but it’s still quite a rarity. Local food is something […]
I absolutely LOVE garlic. I attempted to make garlic bread the other night but it went terribly wrong, and the result is that Mr M now has a veritable fear of garlic, which is worrying and I must fix it, quick! Last autumn, I bought some garlic for planting. I got a bit enthusiastic and […]
A few weeks ago we got 3 new chickens; Hilda, Barbara and Captain Birdseye. Poor Henny was our one remaining chicken, and had been on her own since the demise of Captain Beaky and Penny. Since chickens aren’t very happy on their own, we decided to get her some friends. You’d think she’d be thankful, […]
Krispy Kreme has opened a new store in Leeds, and I was invited to the VIP launch. Free doughnuts?! A doughnut theatre?! Brilliant. Mr M and I arrived with gurgling tummies ready to be filled with sweet delights, and we were not disappointed. On arrival we were warmly greeted by the staff, were handed champagne […]
When I was little I loved The Good Life and wanted to be just like the beautiful, long suffering but happy Barbara. She had such amazing jumpers!! Without planning it I have found myself accidentally steering into a slightly similar way of life. Although we don’t have the pigs. Not yet. I’ve been growing vegetables […]
The Sunshine Bakery has been featured every Friday for the last month at The Source‘s stall in Leeds Kirkgate Market. I saw a picture on Twitter of what was on offer and just couldn’t resist it, so nipped in on my lunch break. I say ‘nipped’, but my knowledge of the roads south of Leeds […]
