I think this is the primary school my husband went to, I'm sure it's the one his sister went to... I wonder if they suggested a recipe to be included...

I'm sorry I've been quiet on here - we're moving, it's exciting, we're buying a house, it's got a massive kitchen - all is well but I've not been in the head space to blog much - I'm sure you understand. We're also in the process of trying to use up things, so we have less to move - which is leading to some interesting dinners.
