I discovered many of Grandma’s recipe books in a shoe box while rummaging around in my attic in 2015, where they had remained untouched for over over 35 years. When I showed one to my daughter, who is a keen baker and has many recipe books, she immediately took out her phone and took a photo of the recipe for Chocolate Tartlets.

 On her next visit she came with a tin containing the results, they were delicious. She asked to see the book again and took another photo of Drop Scones, it turned out they were easy to make. The seed was set to for me to try and publish some of Grandma’s ...

The best years of my childhood life was when I could go out and play in the fields with my mates. We had catapults, bows and arrows, with real feathers and metal tips. It was the 1950's. None of our parents knew where we were, except ‘Out Playing.’ Life was much less restricted for children back then. We got up to all sorts of mischief, lighting small riverside campfires was our favourite pastime. I wasn't a boy scout, but followed their motto of ‘Be Prepared.’ which meant taking a box of matches with us, not spending ages rubbing two sticks together. These childhood memories of ...
