Another strange month in isolation has flown by. This month I've taken charge of doing the video myself rather than relying on the rest of the family to edit it together. I used iMovie on the ipad which was quicker to upload than the usual process but I don't really get the hang of doing anything fancy with it like adding text or music or anything.

Sourdough Chelsea Buns

In the current COVID climate, where it's proved impossible to get hold of yeast for weeks, my 3 year old sourdough starter has really come into it's own!

March 2020 unboxing

What a mixed month of emotions in the midst of our global pandemic. We've managed to put together our unboxing video for March. My phone kept running out of space and cutting out so there's a few bits without a full explanation . The final prize is a photo at the end rather than...
