Café Dog + Rabbit

I grew up in the little town of St Just in Penwith. My home town is very seasonal. Granite buildings hunker down against the fog and sea winds in the winter and become colourfully clad in festival flags and surround bustling crowds in the summer, when tourists flock through the town in search of ‘Poldark’

Taco Boys

On our recent trip to West Cornwall, my hubby surprised me with a detour to Taco Boys for breakfast on the beach! It was wonderful! We parked up and wound our way down to Baby Bay to discover the little truck at the top of the sandy bay. Taco Boys is a decked out trailer

VE75 Celebrations

As a Nation we celebrated the 75th Anniversary of Victory in Europe and the great sacrifice of our heroes together at home, with picnics, home-made bunting, home-baked goods and socially-distanced street parties with neighbours.

Final Days of Summer

A few days ago we said a final farewell to our summer holidays (and it turns out the blissful long spell of perfect sunny weather too) with a homemade seasonal three course meal. A delicious summer date night filled with August goodies which paid tribute to the beautiful summer we’ve had and offered a prelude

Sweet Summer

An ode to sweetcorn. I must say my favourite August veggie is definitely the deliciously sweet corn on the cob. Adding a healthy vibrant yellow to your plate and sweetening salads and BBQ gatherings, it is full of mouthwateringly sweet juicy flavour when enjoyed this time of year. Here in the South West of England
