Competition | Win a Breadmaker for National Bread Week

Competition | Win a Russell Hobbs Breadmaker

Win Win Win! A fabulous breadmaker for National Bread Week

My other half is a baker and so I am spoilt with freshly baked bread on a regular basis.

Many people shy away from making their own bread, but it can be incredibly rewarding. I have to admit though, on days when time is short (frequently!) we do turn to our breadmaker. It’s so easy and the aroma and taste you get for so little effort is fantastic.

Obviously, to eat too much of anything is not good for you, but bread really does get a bad press. In reality, one slice has only around 85 calories and less than 1g of fat. It’s usually what we put on the bread that adds the calories!

This week is National Bread Week,
so don your pinny and get baking!

Once a month, I will give you a behind the scenes look at the Dairy Diary and you can meet the team.

We are a small group but each
one of us is very different…..
this week we meet Nick, THE BOSS!

Nick Rowe is our Executive Editor and has been working on the Dairy Diary for more than 15 years!

He is based in our Cheshire office or Eaglemoss North as he likes to call it.

Here are a few facts about Nick:

What is your role within Dairy Diary? I manage, and make sure we have a wonderful team to put the best product together we can, each and every year!

Handmade Valentine’s Card

There’s something really special about receiving a card that has been handmade.

It may not have cost as much, but the thought and time that has gone into it account for a lot more.

I have probably rabbited on about it in the past, but cardmaking is one of my favourite pastimes.

Here’s the one I have made for my fantastic other half (I hope he doesn’t read the blog today!)

If you would like to give it a go, just follow the steps below. It’s so simple; just make sure you have materials with different patterns of the same colour.

1 First cut a square of card and several pieces of ribbon a little longer than the length of the card. Using tape, attach several pieces of ribbon all along one side on the back of the card.

2 Stick down one length of ribbon on the back of an adjacent side and then weave through the other ribbons. Stick the other end to the back. Repeat.

3 Cut 2 or 3 pieces of paper that coordinate with your ribbons. Using double-sided tape, affix one on top of the other and fix onto a blank card.

4 Glue a heart embellishment in the centre of your woven ribbons. Tadaa!

I am sure your loved-one will love it. Enjoy your special time together.
