Forget art therapy, this is home baking as therapy: Made a rustic pizza and an even more rustic quince tart for dinner, with quince from the garden glut. The glass of Grenache helps me swallow my ‘ medicine’. #HomeBaking

A huntsman spider that’s been living in the house for about 2 weeks literally just dropped onto my pillow next to my cheek 5 minutes after I got into bed. Why, I don’t know, but he consequently got a faceful of lavender spray - and then passed out. Now lying under a bowl in the loungeroom.

Just made Hot Cross Buns. It&#39;s a bit early for Easter, but since I will be spending Easter with my gluten-free, diabetic brother, (🙄 ), I decided to allow myself an early start.
