Half of the Kabocha squash and the rest of the purple sprouting broccoli that I bought at the local market was turned into a bulgar salad. The recipe I followed looked a bit fussy and I was not at all convinced variety of ingredients would come together as a cohesive dish. Happily though, I was [...]

The toughest term I’ve experience yet is over at last. Breathing a huge sigh of relief tonight and shall be indulging in a few glasses of this… Two weeks off means (theoretically) more time to cook and take pictures and blog. Hoping to be around here more often as of now. Cheers.

Yesterday I ran the Loch Ness Marathon in 4 hours 23 minutes and 27 seconds. Today I am in utter agony but am still smiling like an idiot. Many thanks to all of you who sponsored me. To date, I’ve raised almost £2,700 for Cancer Research UK. My mum would have been delighted. xxx

There’s only two weeks left until I run the Baxter’s Loch Ness Marathon. Off out this morning to run 13 miles, the last of my longer training runs, then I’ll mostly be relaxing and psyching myself up for the big day. As I’ve said before, my main reason for running is to raise money for [...]

Happy weekend to you all. I’m off to the Borders for a couple of days. Wanted to share this beautiful time-lapse with you before I headed off though. It was captured by a friend (who has some stunning photos here) and I can’t stop watching it.
