OK, a quick catch up for anyone checking in with the blog.
New Year's Resolution - we are still going strong with the resolution and cooking from a recipe every week. We've missed only two weeks since the start of the year but sort of 'made up' for it by doing two recipes in other weeks. It's still a great idea and it has made us not only cook new things over and over but turn to our cookbooks and recipes for a little tip or trick when cooking something really basic or an old favourite. We've also cooked about half a dozen different types of pancakes! Our new exciting breakfast is pancakes at least once a week and we've tried crepes, drop scones, buttermilk pancakes, American style pancakes and more - it's a great way to do something different at the weekend...
Secret Post Club - my other favourite thing at the moment is Secret Post Club. Run by Heather from the Notes from Lapland blog it is a monthly gift swap for bloggers. I love it! Everyone month I get to have a think about what to send, make something new for someone, get creative, look out for some little bits and bobs to make up a great package to post and then just when I'm least thinking of it something arrives for me! I've always believed in the power of post, ever since I spent a summer working at a camp in America, I love sending postcards, letters and little gifts to friends and this just takes that to the next level, spreading the joy across the internet making something as anonymous as blogging into something as personal as the joy of giving...
So, it seems I need a new blogging strategy... hmmmm... Let's hope it doesn't take quite so long for me to blog again... :)
