We are back to doing recipe of the week after a lot of request to bring it back. So, Pamela and Locksmith & Stationery Team will be providing some excellent recipes to try out, on the race up to Christmas.

“Autumn has come very quickly and winters on its way. Hope you are all well!

I love breakfast, smoothies are fine in the summer, but I like a wee bit more come this time of year.

Not sure if anyone makes their own muesli but I think homemade is so much better.
