Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
For many families, a deck is a must-have. It is the key to a great outdoor space for relaxation. It can also serve as a comfortable space to host and hang out with guests, friends and family members. Wooden decks, unfortunately, have to undergo frequent repairs and replacement. Finally, due to the hazardous waste generated by this high-maintenance process, it can cause serious damage to the environment.
Having a good chopping board is just like having a great helping hand in the kitchen! With its large and solid surface for chopping, slicing or dicing, and also attractive enough to double up as a beautiful serving board! Thanks to Oliver’s Kitchen for sending this large bamboo chopping board and garlic press for me to review.
The kitchen is the heart of the home. Renovating it is an exciting step where you can add a splash of colour, style and luxury. Whether you are going for a complete transformation or simply looking for some new extra additions, the material you use as a key decision.
>Choosing materials for your cabinets and surface tops might seem like an overwhelming task. There are two main ways of looking at it: practicality and your aesthetic vision.

Natural wood versus smartwatch. Natural wood wins! Not long ago, we came across JORD who are a wooden watches company and we fell in love with the notion of a timepiece that uses natural materials. Their watches look very unique and has proved to be quite the talking point.

My children might be 5 and 6, but they are still very much in love with their teddy bears. When they heard that they were allowed to bring their own unique bears out for a picnic, they were over the moon! I have never allowed them to take their bedtime bears outside of the house, just in case they lost it and as most parents will know, a child’s favourite cuddly toy is so difficult to replace!
So a day before, Mr C and the children went to our local Waitrose to buy the groceries for our teddy bears picnic. They bought a few packets of ham, tomatoes, a loaf of bread, strawberries, cake, Capri-Sun and others. I then made a lot of ham, jam and egg sandwiches and packed our bag with fruits, snacks and plenty of drinks!
