Often when I do a quick round-up of my columns for the Lincolnshire Free Press, regular blog readers will have noticed that some of them have content from previous blog posts: snippets from a number of posts to create an article about Scottish memories, for instance.
My latest offerings are all brand-spanking new so I hope you enjoy reading them, as you would a normal blog post. Feel free to comment on the articles on the paper’s website.
So who won Great Burgess Bake Off?
I was challenged to make Mary Berry’s Florentines by food blogger, Helen, at The Crazy Kitchen. Dougie was keen to get involved so we had a Burgess Bake Off. Find out who was the best baker.
‘Are we nearly there yet, Mum?’
A miserable Bank Holiday journey home was made more interesting when we listened to Radio Two’s Top 100 Guitar Riffs.
Nobel Peace Prize winner of Holbeach
During our recent trip to Oslo we discovered a Nobel Peace Prize winner who was born in our town, Holbeach.
I think I might have to ask you for your autograph.
Maybe I should get some pre-printed.
Fab! Loved your 'Are we nearly there yet?' post. I'd love to do a column for my local paper. They've flirted with the idea, but haven't take a proper decision on it đ
I do enjoy doing them, Sarah, but there's no money available. They give me the space so I think of it as advertising for my blog and it's good for my CV.
Most impressed with your riff post. It must have taken some putting together! đ
I'm glad the florentines turned out okay. Never made them myself but they look a tad fiddly. My latest baking success is savoury cookies. They make a nice snack or apero nibble. đ
I really enjoyed crafting that one, Sarah. I kept scribbling things down as we travelled.
Florentines would be a doddle if you didn't have to put the chocolate on the back – that's the fiddly bit.
An apero nibble sounds rather tasty.
Love the Are We Nearly There Yet – countdowns of guitar rifts are just my cup of tea – glad to hear The Smiths were in the top ten, even if the timing was ironic!
It was a fab couple of hours – so pleased we turned the radio on, a bit of a lift during a pants journey.
I loved 'Are we nearly there yet.' And getting 'Livin' on a prayer' is a HUGE bonus LOL.
It was a great bonus – in fact the whole show was, instead of the usual stuff. Glad you liked the article đ
Wow, looks like you've been busy. Well done. I loved your Florentines article. Nothing like a blogger challenge đ
I was very excited when Helen challenged me – gave me such a boost and I got material for my column to boot!
I'd love to do something like that for my local paper – well done you x
It's been a fascinating six months or so – payment would really add icing to the cake but it's good to have a place available to write for a different audience.
Every time I click on a link my Chromebook crashes đ
Oh blummin' 'eck. Aly – don't try clicking again, they aren't that good.
Oooh, fantastic, off for a read. đ
Hope you enjoyed them đ
Your columns are such fun Trish! Love them
That's so encouraging to hear, Sarah. Thank you x
These are all great! I'm so glad your column is going so well! xx
