***Recipe of the Day**

A pinch of patience, a spoonful of laughter, 3 cups of enthusiasm 1/2 lb of sharing, a teaspoon of creativity and a heap of fun. Today my Transition Year students experimented with fresh basil, garlic, Parmesan, rich nuts olive oil and sun-dried tomatoes to make fresh basil and sun-dried tomato pesto.

I would really love if my young female followers could read this and my followers who are mums of young teenage girls. 
We joke about the ‘mean girls’ film all the time but this is reality for a lot of girls out there. If you are a victim of this type of bullying please tell an adult. Don’t let anyone’s hate, ignorance, drama or negativity stop you from being the best person you can be.

For parents one of the important messages in this article is to manage online activity. If you don’t know how to use social media… it’s time to LEARN.

Psst…just for today. Glorious Swiss rolls baked by 1st year students. We just admired them, we swear we didn’t scoff them 😉 

I was handed a heavy bag of plums today. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to get the jars sterilised and get down to a bit of chutney making. Pity I can’t eat it straight away… but all good things take time 👌🏼🍽 #plumchutney #homeeconomics #preservation #nofoodwaste #littlethings #resourceful #living
