Size doesn’t matter – it’s what you do with it that counts…

Gavin Wren Food Blogging, Writing

To start, I’d like to apologise for the lack of activity on my blog over the last few weeks, I had hoped to avoid such a gaping hole in my posting, but here we are.

However, the stark lack of online activity in the world of le petit oeuf is at odds with a frantic and exhausting time offline. A few super-large contracts have rolled in at work, calling for up to 7 day working weeks and longer hours, which synchronised perfectly with moving house. It all built up to the perfect storm.

So now we’ve moved I thought I’d quickly log on to show you what I’ve left behind, the place where I produced the subjects of all the blog posts up until now. Looking back at the photos, I realise that it was a pretty small kitchen, but I don’t remember ever getting annoyed at the space, you just make it work. After all, you don’t need a big, flash kitchen to cook good food, enthusiasm is the most important thing.

The only problem is that since the move, Jennifer (the duck) is considerably peeved as she used to watch the Orient Express and other trains trundle over the railway bridge which is out of shot to the right. She now keeps watch over our little back garden from the kitchen, which has a bit more space and will soon be used to fill this blog to oozing with pages and pages of fabulous recipes!

So, please bear with me, as I have lots of post ideas that are coiled up and ready to pounce once life settles down just a little bit.
