So, you may have noticed I have been neglecting the blog for ages. I have to confess the reason why. Hubby bought me a decent camera and I've been learning a bit about photography. I'm rubbish and there's so much to learn, but I'm totally hooked. I really do need to get back to a bit of blogging too, but in the meantime here's a couple of my photos - a long way to go to get good ones, but having fun trying!

Oneplus6 Mobile phone competition
Wow, it's ages since I've blogged, I need to sort that out. But in the meantime, I'm entering a great competition to win a new mobile phone, my old one really is rubbish. It runs on android 4 and lots of apps really don't like it. So maybe you need a new phone and would like one too? Well you can check the comp out here:

Green superseed raw crackers
Ingredients
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 tbsp chlorella powder
1 tbsp spirulina powder
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
1 cup water
Method
Put all the ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Allow to stand for approx 20 mins to allow the water to soak up so you have a thick gelatinous paste. Spread the mixture on dehydrator sheets or on squares of greaseproof paper. I save the paper trimmings from lining cake tins for this. Dehydrate for 12 hours at 40C. Peel of the paper/remove from sheets, turn over, and dehydrate a further 12 hours.
