My Place and Yours.....Through the front door

When I opened the front door this morning I was greeted by our three girls who wait for us at the door every morning.
Just inside the front door, you'll always find my bag waiting for me.
And then you walk into the heart of our home, where our food prep and baking happen, our kitchen bench, which is also our family table.

Shelley from Femme de Montmartre wanted a peek through our front door this week.

Thanks for visiting, why don't you stay for a cup of tea and some cake.
If you want to go through some more front doors, stop by Pip's for some directions.

    I would love a cackle of ladies camped out my front door! You have finally clinched the hen decision! Well, sort of. I'll call it a NY resolution. And I'd love a cuppa, if you're making...

    Your three girls like our new three girls! Although ours aren't allowed near the door, they often run up to the fence when we pull into the car.

Honey Jumbles

Image
I just realised that I have been using honey and spices in alot of things lately, I guess it's because it's winter and the smells and tastes make you feel warm and sweet. Have been thinking about making Honey Jumbles for a while and saw them over at Liss's the other day and definitely had to try them as they look and believe me they smell soooo good!  My critics advise me they are delicious and very moreish.

Berrylicious ice cream recipe and a giveaway for you
