School’s out…
When you have children there are two ends to the year – one at the end of December – following days of over indulgence – and the other sometime near the end of July when the school year comes to a close. Nowadays we only have one of our offspring left at school as our…
Where do you live?
I came across this folk tale this morning on a Blog that I was reading as I sipped my early morning tea in bed. It is very pertinent at the moment so I thought that I would share it along with some of my recent morning walk pictures taken on the out skirts of our…
Morning walk – the last day of June
Goodness me it the end of June already so that means that half the year has gone! After a busy day yesterday with two photography jobs I completely forgot to put my mobile phone on charge this morning so when it came to my morning walk I was faced with the prospect of going out…
Feta and lemon dip
This feta and lemon dip is lovely and tasty! It is salty, lemony, with a hint of hotness and perfect on salads, on new potatoes, with pittas or as a dip at a summer buffet. The inspiration for the recipe came from Sweet Paul (one of my absolute favourite food Bloggers! – check out his…
What a bad blogger I am…
My computer and phone are groaning with photos and yet I haven’t blogged for ages. So here is a very random selection from my phone from today. I have no idea what the one above is – a sort of random fumbling mistake I think but it looks a bit arty! The rest are from…
Herby cheese scones
You can’t beat a good scone!! I’m particularly partial to a cheese one – there’s something so lovely about their soft warm cheesiness dripping with butter! This is a very straightforward recipe but with the addition of a lovely herby mixture that just adds a top note to the flavour. My favourite is a pizza…
Walk with Deb – morning walk photos on show
If you read my Blog or follow me on social media you will know that since September 2011 I have started my day with a brisk walk around the country lanes of our lovely village. I’ve documented these walks by taking photos – mostly of the landscape but sometimes of random things that I spot.…
Forgotten images
Today my phone said it was full so I downloaded lots of photos – walking , food, random things…. Sometimes I feel that I’m drowning in images. I have so many to sort for work and personal projects that it becomes overwhelming. I have recently had to sort some for an exhibition which I’m pretty…
Texture Tuesday
I haven’t done one of these for so long! I grabbed a quick freebie from French Kiss Collections and rattled this one out! It was taken on Easter Sunday on a our trip out to see the bluebells in Wayland wood – very lovely they were too. I think we got there just before they…
Easter roast lamb
This is a lovely and simple way to cook lamb. The herbs and lemon cut through the fattiness of shoulder of lamb and zing on the palette – especially with the addition of the caper mint sauce! In case you’re interested this is locally reared lamb from Jen-Dee farm under two miles away. You can…
Little fish
On Sunday I was going to cook a cassoulet but then it was 19 degrees and the menu changed to souvlaki. We had white bait in the freezer so I cooked those too! Sadly there was no retsina…
Skipping not walking!
This morning was just beautiful. Blue skies shrouded in mist with the sun beginning to break through. It was cold and there was some frost on the ground but the sky larks were in good song and I literally walked rather than skipped along the country lanes!
Weird Norfolk Skies
I’m going to be very British and witter on about the weather. What a weird day its been! Awoke to torrential rain and so abandoned my usual morning walk. By lunchtime we had sunshine and blue skies – by school pick up time there was all sorts of weather – rain, hail, rainbows and weird…
A bit of a catch up!
I have been working hard behind the scenes to give the Pixel Chef a bit of a make over hence the severe lack of posting of late. The good new is that I successfully complete the Dryathlon raising £230 for Cancer Research while the charity is looking at having raised nearly £5 million – which is…
Dryathlon day 30: still going strong
So after day 16 my Dryathlon Blog just stopped. I am very disappointment in myself but I’ve been pretty busy with work putting together several new websites for clients and the last thing that I’ve felt like doing in the evenings is sitting in front of WordPress again. However I’m really please to report that…
