Healthy Snacking & What I Eat

July 6, 2021

Hello, I don’t know about you, but I seem to have spent an unhealthy amount of time this last week looking at my BBC Weather app, it never lets me down but sadly there seems to be a distinct lack of Suns. The upside of course is I get a little more done indoors and this week’s task was writing up my thoughts on food for a book I’m writing called ‘How to Age Well’ And yes, what you put…

Cherry juice

November 4, 2014

Cherries have been a favourite of mine since I first day as a child with a bowl of the little red things spitting out stones.
