Making muffins as the packers pack the kitchen !

It's utter chaos and okay this is a seriously mad moment to write a blog post & yet it may well be the last post for a while !   I have packers all about and everyone is flagging.  The cat is shut in and yodeling in frustration - I kid you not !

Two of the chaps were going to nip to the shop to get a bite to eat  .. but the nearest shop is miles away.. so between all the boxes and literally as my kitchen was being packed I’ve thrown these muffins together.

With a steaming hot cup of tea for everyone .. they are a hit!

If you are reading my blog I must warn you that I am not impartial. I want to influence you. I want to make you stop for just a moment and consider the effect of a lifetime of seemingly insignificant decisions and how making small delicious choices can change the world.

I believe that we can change the world one bite at a time.

It's a delicious revolution.
