Cooking session highlights
A few weeks back we whipped up a delicious chicken and bacon tagliatelle. Creamy, comforting and packed with flavour.
We got stuck in with chopping, stirring and of course tasting! It was a fantastic session full of laughter, teamwork and amazing food.
Big thank you to everyone who joined in, you made it a real success!

๐๐ซ Blueberry & Lemon Croissant Bake + Speedy Surprises!
Yesterdayโs cooking session was an absolute treat! We whipped up a delicious Blueberry & Lemon Croissant Bake, warm, zesty, and bursting with juicy berries. Safe to say, there were no crumbs left behind!
But the real twist? While the oven was working its magic, we had a Rubikโs Cube showdown โ and one of our crew solved it in just 42 seconds! Talk about multitasking talent! ๐
Great food, great company, and some unexpected skills on display โ we call that a win.

๐งโโ๏ธ๐ Hear Ye, Hear Ye! ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ
On the eve of last night, brave souls gathered 'round the table of destiny for a most noble purpose: to forge their characters and chart their quests in the ancient and sacred art of Dungeons & Dragons.
Quills were scribbled, dice were summoned, and many a tale was spun, of heroes, villains, and questionable moral alignments.
Thus, a grand adventure begins to stir in the realm...
The party is assembled. The fates are sealed. Snacks have been claimed in the name of glory.Stay tuned, noble followers, for the campaign shall soon commence!

๐๐ Jam & Lemon Cookie Night! ๐ชโจ
Wednesday night was all about sweet treats and teamwork as we baked our very own jam or lemon cookies! We had a few hiccups along the way (because letโs be real, whatโs baking without a little chaos?), but we powered through and made it work.
From sticky jam mishaps to dough that didnโt want to behave, we didnโt give upโand the results were so worth it. Every cookie came out looking delicious and full of homemade charm.
Big well done to everyone who got stuck in and helped, proof that even when things donโt go to plan, teamwork (and a bit of laughter) makes it all come together perfectly!
