The winter school holidays are my favourite. These are days for adventures at home; for bright, cool afternoons when we pack a thermos, matches and a tin of muffins and spend hours running around the paddocks, lighting fires, toasting marshmallows and just playing.
So yesterday we did just that; enjoying the fact that there is water in the creek, no snakes to trip over and it’s still cold enough for hot chocolates and fires. Of course, my Tom fell in the creek and then sat down (sans pants) on a patch of stinging nettles, so that was fun, but otherwise our outing was incident free.
Our friend Jules brought along a tin of chocolate chip and honey muffins and they were so good, I asked for the recipe to share here. Really easy and sugar free (except for the honey and chocolate chips…) they were perfect with mugs of hot chocolate and will definitely get a repeat run in our house now I have the recipe. Thanks Jules!

Happy holidays to you Sophie…we are doing similar things at the moment, love this time of year x
Hi Sophie,
You don’t know me but I’ve been following your blog recently since our family started talking about moving to the country. You are a true inspiration to me and my family. We live on Sydney but is considering of moving to Orange in the near future. I love your blog especially the recipes. We are visiting Orange next week with the family so looking forward to a cold but nice country holiday.
Stay blessed,
Elma
