The Friday 5 #97
A heavenly jam, a glorious cheesecake and the best wine bargains from Lidl, all under £10

At one stage that felt like MONTHS ahead. Now I’m flying off to Florence tomorrow and it’s panic stations.
What I want to know is how people manage to pack for trips so early. Like 3 days ahead. Are you one of them? How do you do it?
Anyway onto what I have for you this week
The wines I would buy from Lidl’s latest wine tour. All under a tenner

Brioche rolls. OMG aren’t they the best? I think if we baked brioche rolls for our friends we wouldn’t have to give them anything else to eat. Maybe.
Sparkling sake. I’ve fallen a bit in love with it. Here’s why.
Oh and an alphonso mango jam of the GODS.
Want to know more? You need to be a paid subscriber I’m afraid but for a modest amount (starting at £5 a month though an annual sub is of course better value) I can save you money and significantly increase the joy in your life. Sound good?
