I'm excited about 2012. A little unusual for someone so heavily involved in the property industry at such a dire time, granted, but it's true. Throughout 2011, house prices have fallen, buyers have been sparse on the ground as banks giving out mortgages and notable industry names have fallen by the wayside, so anyone would...

How To Create Christmas Pudding Meatballs!
How cute are these homemade festive meatballs?! My niece and I made them today by roasting the meatballs (finest mince, bbq seasoning, parmesan, egg, breadcrumbs), letting them cool, then topping them with a dollop of creme fraiche, cuts of spiky holly leaves and a sparkly red edible jewel, though you could use a pomegranate seed which would...

Going that extra ‘step’, or 50?!, as a landlord
So, it's the week before Christmas and everyone's trees are up, lights are sparkling and baubles are bouncing. Hmmmm. Everyone's except mine. At the end of last week a huge tree, which used to be way higher than the building you can just about see, fell over in the storms next to my house, leaving... Continue Reading →
How to help the ladybirds in your house in winter
Update November 2014 I first blogged about all the ladybirds gathering on our large South facing windows during winter back in 2011 and since that time have done a couple of experiments to see what's best to try and keep them safe and protected. I'm aware that some people may say let nature take it's... Continue Reading →
