As well as coffee and cake, Penny offers a wide range of options – from a full English breakfast to light lunches and warming casseroles and hot puddings.…
Read MoreAdvent: 3rd December – Passenger at the UEA
Last night was my second night out in a week (virtually unheard of!) as we headed off to the UEA to see Passenger. I took my daughter and her friend and as I was going to have to do the lifts and rather like Passenger, I though that I’d get myself a ticket as well.…
Read MoreAdvent: 1st December – dull, cold and dismal
A few years back I successfully blogged every day for advent – either one or several images. Despite good intentions I’ve not quite managed to keep up with posting every day in subsequent years. However this year I’m going to give it another go with the aim of blogging both here and on my personal Blog The Pixel…
Read MoreAdvent Blog: 3rd December
On the first of December you are allowed to make the first mince pies and sausage rolls of the festive season, so on Sunday I rustled these little beauties up. They were particularly delicious with a glass of cava – it was Geoff’s birthday on Friday and mine yesterday so it seemed like a good…

Our once controversial Nativity has been getting a lot of attention. Pictured above are Enid Clarke, Rene Smith and Brian Smith who worked hard to restore it for this year’s Christmas celebrations in the church.

Our village event in Carbrooke was a great success. We had ice sculptures, a craft fayre, a story telling santa and to top it all Radio Norfolk arrived on the Village Green as part of treasure quest!

Not only did I make the cup cakes but I also made the cake stands too! I’ve had a box of vintage crockery stashed under the stairs since last year’s cup cake candle project. Geoff has been keen to get shot of them so was only to willing to do the drilling part of the…
