Struan.. Making a Scottish bread

We are so lucky here in our HelpX job in Scotland. Conner is a gifted baker who has a passion for good quality ingredients and loves to share his knowledge. 

Todays project was "Straun" an Scottish bread made from different grains and has a malty, sweet flavour. Another upside for it, is that it doesn't need to be kneaded - but rather throw together like a mudpie, so you can imagine that that peeps had a wonderful time with it. 

Home made bread is just so good.. thickly slathered with salted creamy butter.. Thats me!  I am foodie heaven here. 









Our first Radio Interview as a travelling family

In Early October this year, I was interviewed by Eric Hemingway from Family Adventures.   They are a family who promote and encourage other families to go out and travel - through their interviews and blogs.

I was pretty excited - and nervous too, having to go through the events which brought us to our travels.

its about 50 mins long - so grab a cuppa.  I've never been in love with my voice and I now know why I much prefer to 'speak' through my writing.. no ummmmms... and no accent...sigh.. annny whoooo..

Enjoy!
