As a child apple-bobbing was a ubiquitous game at each of every one of my birthday parties. I’m not sure if any of us enjoyed it that much but, well, it was tradition!
Nowadays, I am far more tempted by the Apple-Bobbing Cake from the 2020 Dairy Diary.
The autumn season usually begins with the packing away of summer clothes and the polishing of boots. The flame-coloured foliage and walks in the crisp autumn sunshine is, in my opinion, ones of life’s greatest joys.
And I relish the time when we have candles lit in an evening. It creates cosiness like nothing else.
They often have a procession of hedgehogs eager to stock up on mealworms before their winter sleep.
Unlike the hedgehog, our slow cooker comes out of hibernation and resides on the kitchen worktop in October. Sundays see the aroma of many offerings from said gadget.
One of our new favourites is the ox cheeks recipe from the next Dairy Diary. It’s so flavourful and just melts-in-the-mouth. You can cook it in the oven too.
And, of course, autumn just wouldn’t be the same without the Dairy Diary.It’s the traditional time to order so why not do so now?

While the daylight hours become shorter our days actually become longer as there are never enough hours to fit everything in!
I recently read about busy corporate executives wearing the same outfit every day so that they have less to think about and it gave me an idea. No, I won’t wear the same outfit every day (I’m not a corporate executive!) but I could create a weekly meal plan so that I have less to think about.
Having sat down with my Dairy Diary Recipe File to write our list of favourite meals I soon discover that the weekly meal plan needs to become a three-weekly meal plan as we have far too many favourites to fit into one week!
From this though, I now have three shopping lists that I can speedily scan and add to my online shopping basket each week.
And I no longer have to think ‘what’s for dinner’? As it’s all written down.
It may seem a little repetitive, but for those times in life when you have just too much to think about it’s actually a really useful solution.

This was always one of the games at my birthday parties until one of my friend’s got too worried that it would ‘ruin her hairdo’ – we were 11!!
This clever, seasonal and scrumptious cake pays homage to this classic game.

Bobbing for apples has been an autumn tradition for hundreds of years. Despite its presence at Halloween parties and festivals today, however, its origins are more rooted in love and romance than tricks and treats.
In fact, it began as a British courting ritual, popular among young ladies and their potential beaus.
