Join Eli and Kate and share the gardening fun
A good plain scone, real butter and a cup of earl grey are one of life’s joys. Well for me, Kate likes fruit scones (yuck), covered in jam. However, I have frustratingly found that all the recipes I have tried for making my own scones have been a disappointment. Small […]
You guys know how much I love a slice of Bakewell tart with a cup of tea. I’ve even shared my homage in the bakewell muffin, but it occurred to me this week that I’ve never actually shared my Bakewell tart recipe with you guys. Shocking oversight, so since I […]
Kate is a big fan of hot cross buns, I, to be honest, don’t really see what’s so fantastic about them. But hey ho, that doesn’t mean I can’t experiment with making some so Kate can have a treat. Just in case you live somewhere in the world where hot […]
I’m going to call banana bread a useful cake. Yup, useful cause you know how sometimes you end up with random left over bananas that look less than attractive? You know, the ones that sit lonely in the fruit bowl at the end of the week all brown and yucky? […]

Happy St Andrew’s day folks! St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland and 30th November is his day, St Andrew’s day. In all honesty, we don’t actually do anything to celebrate it, it’s just another day and a heck of a lot of Scots probably couldn’t even tell you […]
I’ve been involved in a bit of a Facebook rant recently about Halloween and the fact that Scottish kids celebrate this as the American version (trick or treat) rather than holding onto the traditional Scottish celebrations I knew as a kid. It’s just one of those things; the world is […]
Happy St Andrew’s day everyone. I thought in honour of the day of the Scottish patron saint (who is also the patron saint of loads of other places), I’d have a go at something a bit special, something from history… am I setting the scene? Are you excited? Parlies or Parliament […]
Happy St George’s Day to all our Ar Bruadair readers who are celebrating! After the success of our St Patrick’s day and St David’s day posts, we knew we had to come up with something great for St George’s day but boy was it difficult to come up with a celebration […]
Happy St David’s Day folks, we hope all our readers in Wales have a brilliant, fun-filled day planned. For the rest of us, here is a lovely little Welsh treat you can cook up to join in the fun. Welsh Cakes! If you’ve never had Welsh Cakes before, oh you have […]
and this is a glimpse into our life and garden on the east coast of Scotland where we enjoy growing fruit, veg and flowers and cooking indoors and outdoors. 🌱 Join us for fun gardening tips!
