Last night I made a dish which I will definitely repeat, so I have to share it with you here because I haven’t shared any recipes in a while … I’ve always stayed away from sole in the past because I’m not a fan of fish bones, but I am a new convert after this…

Gosh, so much is going on, where to start? I can’t believe it’s been 2 weeks since I last had a chance to blog! The most exciting news is that Bond Girl finally gave birth to an enormous (5.1kg!) Baby Boo yesterday! She ended up having to have an emergency caesar – but just as…
