There's a lot of snot around at the moment. The only one not stricken (yet) is Teaghan, but I'm sure that will come. We're all dosed up to the eyeballs with paracetamol and brufen, not a great state of affairs at all! And not one I particularly like, either. I might work with medicines but that doesn't mean I think they are always the best.
This morning I've introduced the Flop to lemon, honey and hot water in a bid to see off the awful hacking cough she has. It's not especially going down well (even though she pronounced it nice) but I'm sure with a little persuasion we will get there!* She is a great fan of 'honey medicine' already, a teaspoon of lovely sticky honey already.makes even the worst ills more bearable.
*for persuasion read chocolate buttons
For a refreshing vitamin c boosting, cold and cough busting drink without the drugs simply take a few squeezes of lemon juice and a teaspoon of honey and add hot water, note it should be hot and not boiling as the hotter the water the quicker it destroys the vitamin c.
That's the only thing I have to share this week (though if you'd come by later I would have told you about the loaf, the cheese bread, the Sourdough pancakes, the chocolate Herman cake and the chicken veg pasties that we spent the day making!)
I'm linking up with Wendy again for Handmade Monday, which has a new home now over on Handmade Harbour so have a visit and see what everyone's been doing!
I'm off to spend the day catching up with my children and making and baking (as you already know!)
Til next time!

Oh no - hope you are all feeling better really soon. Honey and lemon is the best! x
I hope you all get well soon. It's definitely an unhealthy time of year. I never realised that you shouldn't use boiling water to make honey and lemon - thanks for the tip.
Just when you thought you had left coughs, colds and everything else behind, the weather changes and brings more germs with it. Hope you all get better soon. Have a good week and enjoy the baking. How was it going back to work?
Aw I hope you all get well soon! I blame the weather!

Hope you all get better soon. We may have some better weather by then! Hope the baking goes well. Stuffing scrummy cakes will make you all feel better! :)
Thanks Jill Work was ok really. Just as expected, missed the girls terribly but aim to make up for it on my days off!
Hope you all get better soon, think this warm then rainy colder weather is to blame.
Hope you all feel a bit better by now and the sunshine has cheered you up!
