Great British Bake Off
Happy 95th Birthday, Joe!
It was my wife Sarah’s Grandad’s 95th birthday this week so we’ve had a fantastic time celebrating with all the family. A good excuse to let my creative juices flow making this week’s cake. Tips on how to replicate it on this week’s blog.
Snow Day!
An unexpected and rare snow day in London today so the kids and I had the chance to build their first ever snowman. After four years of them singing along to ‘Frozen’, it was about time! It’s been another festive week for us.
Santa Claus is (or are?!) Coming to Town
What’s the collective noun for a group of Father Christmases / Santa Clauses / St Nicholases, as we met about 2,000 of them this morning?! A merriment perhaps? This week couldn’t have felt more festive if it tried!
Baking Made Simple
My baking’s gone back to basics and I’m enjoying it more than ever. On this week’s blog I’m sharing a few backing hacks as well as plenty more DIY advice.
Dad Life
I’ve been working on my own house recently, which has given me the opportunity to spend much more time with the kids. This week our youngest was a bit poorly so it’s been a quiet week spent mostly on a sofa under a sleeping toddler – not all bad!
Building Skills
It’s three years ago today that my Great British Bake Off Final aired to an audience of 14 million viewers. I don’t think I’ll ever get my head around that. A good time to reflect on what’s changed since then. Such a lot of exciting opportunities and this week, my new building column launched too.
Simple Things
No blog from me last week as I was taking it easy after the London Zoo Stampede. Working my socks off at the moment so trying to make the most of the downtime when I can get it. Looking for an extra pair of hands too if you know someone who’ll fit the bill…
The Times They Are A-Changin’
All change in our gaff this week as I’m starting on an exciting new house project. With the weather, the conkers and the back-to-school mayhem, autumn’s come with a bang!
That’s Amore!
Back today from the most incredible fortnight in Italy. Just in time for the new series of Bake Off too.
