Five tasty fruits with a range of nutritional benefits (Copy)

Fruit has always been good for us, but alongside the odd apple strudel or strawberries and cream, the general population aren’t eating enough of it. For example, in America, a CDC study revealed that only one in 10 adults meet the federal recommendation for fruit intake, which is for most people to eat 1.5 cups of fruit each day. The same applies in the UK, with the vast majority of people not having their five a day.

Our Dog Kiwi and her Pemphigus Foliaceus Autoimmune Disease Journey

I’d just come home from surgery when my husband commented a few times he was worried about Kiwi “she’s not right”. it was quickly clear she was not herself.

That weekend we’d noticed she’d licked her paw pads raw, she was very down in herself and she wasn’t drinking or eating, we took her to the vets and they admitted her in over night to do tests, including blood tests that eliminated any major organ concerns, and they immediately started treating her for possible allergies; they did mention the signs looked autoimmune, but it was rare and they felt it was probably allergies.

Flooring for the Bedroom

After 10 years, we are finally going to bring our bedroom to life, to give it a well-deserved refresh; with the aim to make it cosy and comfortable and warm.

I have a good idea of my desired colour theme, but I am in two minds with regards to the flooring. At the moment, the bedroom is carpeted and the question is do we get a new carpet, or do we go for wood flooring? but, for the bedroom I think I definitely would prefer a nice, warm, cosy carpet.
