From Kent To Cornwall

How are we already in October, last time i looked we was just beginning summer. We do love October though, the leaves changing colour and falling making a crispy path way for you, the cosy evenings snuggled under a fluffy blanket. Most of all we love Halloween, this is our first Halloween in Cornwall. We are looking forward to making our house all spooky, and i think a trip to B&M is on the books for that one.  We've always loved dressing up and the kids get so excited sorting out there outfits, we are not really sure if there are any events going on around us, but we have just discovered the perfect place to go pumpkin picking which is not open for a few weeks but we can't wait to go! Another great thing we love to do as a family, spending hour's walking around the pumpkin patch finding the perfect pumpkins, playing around with the wheelbarrows. Then coming home and deciding how to carve them! I also like to do a few Halloween themed dinners for the ki...

I'm always happy to try new products, and after contacting the collective dairy who kindly sent us some coupons to use to redeem against there range we was excited to see what it was all about.

I'm a massive foodie, i always have been. From a young age cooking has always been a big part of my life, from making cupcakes to full 3 course meals.

Visiting a couple of his famous restaurants, has literally been a dream come true to me, like a child at Christmas, i was finding it hard to control my excitement.
