In my recent holiday to Malaysia, I decided to travel, in addition to visiting my family. My trip to China starts very early in the morning. My sister and I arrive at the airport 4.30 am. We fly from Kualal Lumpur and reach Guilin, the capital city of Hunan province in South central part of …
On my recent trip back to Malaysia, I planned to travel to several places – China and some local Malaysian tourist destinations.

Hinckley Feast here I come! It is just around the corner, this weekend to be exact. The weather forecast has been really unpredictable. Will it rain? Is there going to be a down pour, or windy? This year will be my first year participating in this big summer fare. I was a bit excited as …

Why do I say that? This is because 2 days ago I decided to use compostable packaging for my cookies in the farmers market. This is replacing the clear bags that I used. Today means the 6th of July, in the Burbage Farmers Market.
I was just thinking about this. Summer is here and soon it will be term break. When my girls were in high school, I used to give end of term gifts to the teachers that make a difference to us. The SEND teacher was marvellous and did a fantastic job in supporting my daughter with …
After a long break of almost a year, I decide that I am ready to host another supper club. I hurt my wrist last Valentine’s day, of all days. It took a long time to get better. Note that I did not say ‘heal’ as at up to now there is still some discomfort when …

Handmade Plant-based Easter Eggs is doable! I was toying with this idea for months now, making Easter eggs that are plant-based. I can make moon cakes for the Moon Cake Festival. I have tried a few times. My first attempt some years ago resulted in an unbalanced cake that could not stand upright. That was …
