I Missed my Renovation Kitchen - it's good to be home
Last week I missed my renovation kitchen. After spending time on holiday last week, away from Starre Corner, it's good to be home. Rowan and I have been enjoying spending time together and getting creative in the kitchen. It may be a half-finished renovation kitchen, but it doesn't stop us from having fun!
In this week's vlog, we enjoy our renovation kitchen to make some delightful treats: porridge cake, vanilla extract, vanilla sugar, and macaroons. Join us as we experiment and enjoy our time in the heart of our home.
Now that we are home we will be continuing our DIY renovation journey but the renovation kitchen will remain unchanged - it's all about the ensuite small bathroom.
I also take a trip to afternoon drinks at Spinks Nest, a beautiful little Norfolk holiday cottage, to soak in some inspiration and relaxation.

That was a lovely vlog, enjoyed the tour of the Cottage and then watching you in the kitchen. It was a really enjoyable mix of content. You have such a super presenting style. Your cakes looked yummy. Have yet to watch your Budapest vlog but am sure I will enjoy it. Xx

Hope you and your family had a great holiday. It seems that you came back to beautiful weather. I hope you are able to post some photos of Rowen’s Macarons. She is such a champ for attempting to make them as far as I’m concerned. They look pretty difficult (but yummy).

Our holiday was wonderful, thank you. Rowan's macarons were devoured but she has promised to make some more, now that she knows what she's doing.
Your videos are so much fun to watch! It was lovely to see the holiday house and your garden. I think your cakes look delicious and agree that fruit in them would be terrific! ❤

Hello there ! the cottage is so charming , I could absolutely live there! Your dresses were lovely , I need to get some garden dresses ! I am definitely going to make the breakfast loft, however would leftover oatmeal work ? and would the ground almonds take place of flour? Ohh I just remembered my oven is not working haha. I have picked new one out , just waiting for a sale!! Until next time! blessings to you and the family ! Paula

I have tried it with flour and it wasn't great. I am sure oatmeal would work. Just give it a go & see what happens 😊 (when you've got a new oven of course 😊)
Thanks so much for another wonderful video my dear. 🥰👍

Hooray your vlog day! Out of my baking phase atm & am inspired now - especially involving voda! Random comments 🤪- perhaps darker-ish green of bedroom for bathroom ?? During a garden visit I think you both liked a large mound type feature with hollyhock type plants growing from it. I thought of the large pile (+ soil) you have opp herb/vege garden. Pretty feature from the street too. Thanks for reading this far and congrats to Rowan with exams over!

When I had my Millie's Bed and Breakfast in Hatherleigh, Devon, I had my little shop with local arts and crafts for sale in the dining room, where the guests would sit for their breakfast, so they could browse and buy whilst they were staying with me. I think it was fun for them, and I loved selling local things this way. Love this holiday cottage that you took us too, just my cup of tea. Blessings from Jilly & Madge, from West Devon, England. xxx

You make everything look so simple! I want to make homemade vanilla. Do you buy your vanilla pods online? What is the best kind? I definitely want to try your breakfast loaf. Isn't rhubarb bitter tasting? You mentioned poaching.. how do you poach please? Does rhubarb taste like strawberry?

Yes, I bought Grade A vanilla online. Rhubarb is tart but I will add honey to it to make it sweeter.
Lovely video :) nice weather for it :) You are a great cook :) ps i thought i seen a kitchen aid mixer in one of your previous videos :) I used own a onyx black one,but i converted all my kitchen appliances to ninja about 3 years ago now :)
