I’d fully recommend this for a little treat to make with the kids ❤️ #retrorecipes #vintage #vintagefood #homemade #recipe #easyrecipe #thingstodo #kidsactivities
1970s gelatine leftovers = Mouldy Old Salad…yes that is the actual name of the recipe!!! 🤣 Taken from the 1970s No-Cook Cookbook, this was an experience for sure, not one that I’ll be repeating…ever…but an experience nonetheless 🙈 Comment below if you would try this! Feel free to send me any retro recipes find and want me to try! #retrorecipes #vintage #vintagerecipes #oldschool #disgusting #homemade
Happy dance 🪩 Went for a swim for the first time in weeks today and it felt SO GOOD!!!! 😊 It’s hard when life gets busy to take the time to look after yourself but it’s so very important ❤️ Can’t wait for the @superhero_series Tri in a few weeks, I can put my months of swimming training and lessons to the test!!! (Costume is from @nextofficial ❤️ not gifted) @nextofficialpr
Hurled myself fully out of my comfort zone today!!! 😬 I absolutely love being a Team Captain for the Superhero Series, it is an event full of pure joy which encourages anyone living with a disability (the superheroes) and their friends/families/carers (the sidekicks) to get involved in one or all of the events. Last year I was meant to so do the swimming part of the triathlon but seeing as I couldn’t swim more than a few metres, they put me in a boat pulled by the amazing @ladybugstrust and it gave me a HUGE kick up the bum to set myself the challenge of learning to swim and swimming the same section this year. I started lessons at my local leisure centre in January and built up from there. And today I bloody did it!!!! I swam 150m in open water with no floats or assistance. I’m over the moon!! It’s never too late to learn something new and set yourself a challenge 💕 The @superhero_series really is magical and encourages everyone to do their best in whatever way they need. Congratulations to everyone who took part today and especially to my lovely team @siennas_cerebralpalsy_journey and @harleysalter ❤️ You guys were amazing!!!! #superheroseries #swimming #adultswimming #swimminglessons #triathlon
Could this savoury jelly be the one??? Tomato Aspic from the 1970s is on the menu in today’s Retro Recipes and it was…interesting ☺️ Make sure you watch till the end for my reaction, it was quite something! Have you ever tried Tomato Aspic? Would you try it?? 😬 #vintage #retrorecipes #recipe #vintagerecipes #recipes #tomato #aspic #jelly #savoury

It’s 6 years this month since my world was so wonderfully turned on its axis and our series of Bake Off aired 🧑🍳 It has been the most wonderful time of my life full of things I never even imagined possible. And last night, at the Bristol Balloon Fiesta, my heart was overflowing with one of the most special moments ever! I’m a very proud Bristol girl so to have been asked by @bbcbristol to voice the Night Glow with @joesims10 was a huge honour. I got so totes emosh during the incredible show, it’s such an iconic Bristol event ❤️ Feeling unbelievably grateful for everything in my life right now, sending off that Bake Off application was the best decision!!! #bristolballoonfiesta #balloonfiesta #bristol #grateful @bristolballoon
