Baking: Giant Milk and White Chocolate Cookies



Oh I do enjoy a good bake! Especially when it is a successful bake. These giant white and milk chocolate cookies I made the other week were a big hit with my family and friends. So here is the very easy peasy recipe that is completely customisable. If you are not in the mood for chocolate then you could always use dried fruit, nuts or just enjoy them plain.

It's the Simple Things


'Simplicity is Beauty and Beauty is Simplicity, Nothing More, Nothing Less' 
-Oscar Widle

I often find its the little things that bring me the most happiness or brighten up a miserable day. The simple things I do that put my mind at rest and make me feel completely at peace.

Don't Dismiss January



I always feel sympathy towards the month of January, as soon as Christmas and the New Year are over, there seems to be a mood of eagerness to move onto the next 'thing'. That 'thing' being Summer holidays and all things hot. We seem to rush on through the rest of Winter and forget to enjoy the continuation of fluffy sock and oversize jumper wearing days. Rainy Sunday mornings filled with book reading and tea drinking. There are still so many candlelit baths to be indulged in. Dark evenings to be spent hidden under a layer of blankets. Enjoy these last few moments of Winter before the Spring beckons it's retreat.

Do you dismiss January?

Northern Lass in 2016




2016 will mark three years that I have been blogging on this little corner of  the internet that I call mine. I would like to think in those three years that my blog has improved, the writing, the photography and the content, but as my Mum always says 'There is always room for improvement'. So here is what to expect from Northern Lass in 2016...

Hello 2016



A New Year allows us the chance to work towards the people we have always hoped to be, the kinder, happier and the perhaps slightly more adventurous versions of ourselves. So cue the gym memberships that won't last, the resolutions that will soon dissolve and let's write a new chapter better than the one before.
