Who am I?
My name's Dan and I live near Huddersfield in the North of England. I’m a 34 years old part time stay at home dad. For three days a week I'm also a community mental health nurse but you won’t find me blogging about that here. I’m married to Kerry and we have two children - Amy (6) and Evan (3). I keep chickens, grow veg, and take the occasional long walk. If you want to know how other's describe me then take a look here.Where else to find me

A secret old family recipe
I will probably get ostracised by all of my relations for sharing this with you; but I have decided to make public a recipe that has been handed down the Hughes family for generations. The potential benefits to the culinary … Continue reading Read more »
