Posted on August 7, 2013 by lardersaga

  Cow bells, wild flowers, snowy peaks, fresh unpasteurized milk and lots of cheese. Where else could I be but in the higher climes of the Swiss alps. Not the obvious choice of summer holiday, not a bucket and spade … Continue reading →

The humble radish

Posted on June 21, 2013 by lardersaga

A Fairy Party

Posted on May 29, 2013 by lardersaga

I cannot believe the pink one is two. Walking, talking, independent, confident, and full of attitude of the good and bad variety. Thankfully she is still squidgy and hugely huggable, so there is a little bit of baby left, but … Continue reading →

Hoorah hoorah a bank holiday weekend filled with sunshine, laughter and lots of time outside. A few toddler battles with the ‘blue’ one, mainly about leaving the farm, ‘London’s boring’ he roars. Really, I mean how can London can possibly … Continue reading →
