 Finding something to do last minute, is one of those things as a planner is my worst nightmare, but sometimes we have to use up holiday from our job that we are not expecting to take, which I had to last year (not my fault, my boss pressured to take holiday by a certain date and I did not book any), so here is a list of ideas for last minute day trips

Blogging can have its challenges, as I found out for the past few years, I was looking back through my Insta archive and realised I had been blogging for 8 years! So I wanted to do a post celebrating my 8 years of this blog and its various names and the lessons I have learnt from it, which I have never done

 Travelling can be fun, but we all need a little inspiration, so going to a travel show, to get brochures, buy a travel destination book or listen to a speaker giving a talk on a destination can be great, recently I went to the Times Destinations Show in London.

 My parents recently celebrated their 50th Wedding anniversary, they did not want gifts, just our presence. I'm not convinced by people that don't want gifts to celebrate big occasions so, I thought I would produce a list of presents you can get for people that don't want gifts

 Mod Update


I have recently been sharing my recipes with the Facebook group Cook Blog Share for 5 years since I started this blog, I'm not longer going to sharing any recipes or food posts on my blog for the foreseeable future as the mod for this week’s linky has message me about copyright issue with the method, for my recently share recipe of Courgette and Ricotta Fritters 
 

This mod has claimed that I have copy and pasted the recipe and not adapted the method, to suit my needs at all, I 'm very upset by this and have not yet had the courage to reply to them at all, recipes are shared in print magazines and the internet and cooked by people sharing it on the insta's and Facebook all time using the same methods and ingredients. 

 

I'm sorry to write this, but I have no foot to be on at the moment, to argue my case to this mod, without support in my court as the place I have asked for help has agreed with them. I have not been asked to take the post down at all as of yet. I'm glad all of you enjoyed the post and will cook it, but for now my future in blogging is in the balance, so is my career and my Guiding career as copyright can lead to a criminal record, which is not good as I'm due a DBS check soon

 

Thank you for your support
