Me, I’m a big fan of pudding. Vanilla, chocolate, caramel, pink princes pudding and dark brown witches pudding with crispy chocolates in it: I love them all.

Ik visualiseer hoe ik, zonder morren, opsta, naar de badkamer loop, mijn lievelings-pyamabroek aantrek, naar de keuken loop, thee zet, [...]
Hou je vast, het is vandaag nationale DipDag… De derde maandag van januari is, volgens de Britse psycholoog Cliff Arnall, de meest deprimerende dag van het jaar. Want: het weer is belabberd, de feestdagen zijn voorbij, de meeste goede voornemens zijn alweer gesneuveld (bij ons in ieder geval wel!), de volgende vakantie is nog heel [...]
Love, love, love just LOVE this free goodie! It’s a monthly calendar featuring all seasonal fruits and vegetables of that month.
