Parasol mushrooms in Windsor Great Park.
Mushroom season is definitely upon us.
The Pot Kiln
We had a lovely lunch at The Pot Kiln. A great treat between Christmas and new year.
This is a proper country pub with the benefits of fantastic food, you must try it! The Pot Kiln is a little hard to find, but it is a gem so well worth the effort. The pub website http://www.potkiln.org/ provides location and detailed directions so I will leave it up to you!

You must visit Mapledurham House it is fab
We just had a great day out at Mapledurham House. This is a real little gem of a country estate set in deepest darkest Berkshire on the banks of the River Thames.
Do take a look at the website and if you think the house looks familiar, you’d be right. Kenneth Grahame author of Wind in the Willows wrote much of this best-selling family favourite very near to Mapledurham and used the house as the image for Toad Hall.

Strawberry Pavlova with the perfect meringue
This classic pudding is easy to make but difficult to get right. I always fail with the meringue. I follow the recipes ( and I have tried many) but with no joy.
So please if you have top tips for the perfect meringue please let me know!
