8th April 2016 By Urvashi Roe

It’s nearly time for the London Marathon.  My training has gone well in the main.  I had a bit of a lapse this week as I’ve not been feeling well.  Truth be told I’m struggling a little on the food side.  I hit my fundraising target within a few months of signing up, my training […]

Chocolate And Hazelnut Tarts With Haagen Dazs Coffee Ice Cream

23rd October 2015 By Urvashi Roe

Allotment Raspberries Are Sweeter – Fact!

25th July 2013 By Urvashi Roe

I never understood the whole ‘allotment thing’ until a few weeks ago when my raspberries started coming up. Well, technically they are not ‘my’ raspberries as the straggly bush was already on our plot when we received the key in March. I was all ready to pull it out and burn it because I wanted […]

Bottling up Christmas to last a little longer

31st December 2011 By Urvashi Roe

Christmas

Cranberries are in season for only a short time in the UK which is such a shame because they are soooo good for you.  This tiny little fruit packs a massive punch in the antioxidant department meaning that it helps keep your heart healthy and is also good for your liver.   On top of that cranberries […]
