Today I picked the first strawberry I ever grew! I got the plants last year, but they're the kind that don't bear the first year. So I read up on the sandy loam soil they required, how much to mulch and water and even made friends...

belindayhughes It did look like a happy family, didn't it? If Diana were still here, she would most certainly have joined William, Harry and Catherine in the merriment, climbing onto the vehicles and checking out superhero suits right alongside them. Hope your Sunday with...

belindayhughes Thanks for commenting, lizzie. Princess Diana was indeed an amazing woman, a brave lady we can all look up to forever. While it was terribly sad that her marriage to Prince William's father was a tragically empty relationship that cost her a great deal, she...

belindayhughes Hey there, wolfs! Thanks for stopping by, even though this topic isn't normally your cup of tea. William and Harry are indeed carrying on Diana's legacies. Harry has the luxury of being the so-called spare, hence, like his Uncle Andrew, he is free to kick up...

belindayhughes A few questions, wolfie, if you will. What is suet? Is this a recipe for what we in the States call a jelly roll? You left out the directions. It sounds delicious for a dessert following one of my beloved Roly Poly tortilla wrap sandwiches with sprouts.
