Today is my stop on the blog tour for Tilly Tennant’s latest book, A Wedding in Italy… check out my review below! Sun, spaghetti and sparkling prosecco. When it comes to looking for love, there’s no place like Rome – but once Kate’s found her man, can she keep him? Kate…
It’s nearly here – the release of The Little Village Bakery! And we’d love you to join in the celebrations! For the next week or so I’m going to invite you all to TWEET YOUR TREAT – post a photo of a cake you’ve baked, a tasty morsel you’re about to tuck into (whether you’ve baked […]
Ok, I know I haven’t exactly kept up with this baking lark, but it’s just been too hot! However, yesterday it rained and I took the opportunity (and also advantage of rather too many bananas in the cupboard) to have a bash at banana loaf. The recipe is in this book: And it wasn’t too […]

I’m already a huge fan of Robert Bryndza, not only as a writer but as a lovely fella too, so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on his new book. After being captivated by Coco Pinchard, Miss Wrong (or Natalie Love, as she’s more commonly known) had a lot to live up to as […]
I’m thrilled to share the never before seen cover of my good friend Robert Bryndza’s latest book. It looks hilarious and if his hugely Coco Pinchard series is anything to go by we’re in for a treat. Check out the blurb below and keep your May free for release! Natalie Love has worked hard to have it […]
