Free choc n buns, payday sales, April goodies


Hello,

Have you had a good week so far? Hope so! We've had a bit of a cold snap here but nothing an extra blanket and a pot of tea can't fix.

That's had me looking ahead to next week, and a brand new month. Check out the tastiest seasonal ingredients for April, and some timely kitchen garden tips if you feel like growing your own.

Meanwhile, the shops are fighting it out for your attention this payday weekend, with some very juicy offers that you might like the look of. Just scroll down for those, plus vintage pop-ups and a nice freebie.

This week's newsletter has been brought to you by the power of lightly toasted hot cross buns. Lil' bit of butter on the top, as nature intended.
