Recipes and Roast Chestnuts
2008-05-10 10:36:00 One of the things I love best about winter is cooking. In summer I don’t cook or bake very much because having the oven on during hot weather can make the house unbearable and I enjoy eating a lot of raw fruit and vegetables anyway.

Inspirations - Annette Vallon
2008-04-21 15:11:00 Usually when choosing books I spend hours in the library or bookstore, going over each shelf, reading blurbs and trying to find something new and interesting.

Princess Lesson ~ Memorising and Reciting Poetry
2008-04-11 15:13:00 I think its sad that these days we mostly think of poetry as something you read, rather than listen too.
