We love our trips to Scotland and I feel that my heart belongs there. John has just released another song and made the video for it using dash cam footage.
More to Life
John wrote this before we married, it is a song about escape. Thankfully it wasn’t to escape from me, and this has been one of my favourite songs. I have seen it in its many forms and we even played it live when we were a gigging band. You can find his music on Spotify …

John has been busy…
The Christmas period was good for him, he had time to finish 3 songs within 4 weeks. He started off with a song for Christmas, unlike his song Angels it didn’t focus on the people have no one at Christmas, but those who have. Both of us really love Christmas, even though there is a …

Susie’s Ninja Roasted Cod with Potatoes and Salsa Verde
This is based on an old Delia Smith recipe that I have adapted for the Ninja and in her words “delightfully different and makes a complete meal for two to three people with perhaps a simple green salad with a lemony dressing as an accompaniment”. Chunks of skinless cod fillet are good in this, but …

Susie’s Homemade Ninja Beef Burgers
This is my take on Gordon Ramsay’s recipe, and it is delicious. In the original recipe there is no red onion, that is my addition, if you don’t like onions just leave it out. This makes a great recipe for people who are caravanning or living in Vans as you can put them in a …
