We’ve just returned from a wonderful holiday in France. Imagine staying in a beautiful farmhouse, being cooked amazing food daily, rural runs and enjoying wine, cheese and good company for a week.

Now it’s been a couple of weeks since we made flapjacks due to sickness in the household. My oh my, how I’ve missed you flapjack! I’ve found myself looking at the flapjack tin wishing it was full.

Oily fish is something that I’m trying to get my family to eat more of. So I was almost too excited when I came across a huge range of tinned fish in our local Polish delicatassen. To be fair I can’t read Polish but it’s quite easy to work out words like Mackerel and Sardines!
