Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream

This ice cream recipe?  It’s EASY.  Too easy, in fact.  All you’ll need is some double cream and condensed milk, and with some restrained whipping you’ll have yourself a simple ice cream base that freezes like a dream (no need to break your wrist when it comes to scooping!) and can be flavoured any way you like it. Since the weather’s been a bit… autumnal, I added some marshmallow fluff and toasted marshmallows to mine to make this Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream. 🙂

How to Visit the Puffins on Skomer Island

I finally managed to tick off the top spot on Welsh Bucket List over the weekend and went to visit the Puffins on Skomer Island. It was a really early start and involved a lot of driving back and forth between the hotel and the dock along narrow country lanes just to get a ticket – but it was SO WORTH IT.  Seeing the Puffins (which my Dad calls Welsh Parrots) for the first time was pretty magical – they’re such adorable little birds – and watching them flutter back forth from the Irish Sea to their burrows with fish for their Pufflings was such an amazing thing to see…
