I am celebrating tonight. George sat his last GCSE this morning so my nagging days are over, until September at least. I feel exhausted in every way, it’s as though I sat the 30 odd exams myself. I have shouted, cried, baked, hugged, comforted; every range of emotions have been covered, and that’s just me,…
For over 20 years Art House has been a place to share, see, make and create. In June 2019 over 200 artists will come together to throw open their doors for everyone to explore, empower and celebrate Richmond’s vibrant art culture. Whether you want to explore your borough, visit Richmond or simply meet others who…
Father’s Day is on the horizon again and for me, it means buying 3 bloody cards, even though I only actually have one Father of my own. The boys are perfectly capable of getting a card for Clyde, as is Clyde for own Father, but left to their own devices, no cards would be purchased….
Blimey it’s been warm this weekend and lucky me, I’ve predominantly spent it in my kitchen or sorting out our eldest’s bedroom ready for his triumphant return from Uni next weekend. The latter involved me removing all my Lucy Loves plates, glasses, cutlery and trays from his room which had fashioned itself into some sort…
Goodness me I’ve been writing Lucy Loves and rambling away for 5 years now and never featured a Victoria Sponge. I’m not quite sure how that’s happened as I must make this classic cake at least once a fortnight. Not only is this evergreen recipe my favourite, it seems to be a top 5 for…
The East Sheen Village team is extremely saddened to learn of the passing of East Sheen Councillor and former Deputy Mayor, Mona Adams and would like to join Richmond Council in expressing our condolences to her family and loved ones. She died of lung cancer which she fought off for long enough to complete her…
This week I have been all about food waste. I am the product of a war child, my Dad, so I have inherited his inability to throw anything away. I can often be heard telling the boys to eat something past it’s use by date as long as it isn’t green or a bit whiffy….
Sheen Lawn Tennis & Squash Club is proud to announce the formal opening of its new all-weather tennis courts on June 7th and 8th. The popular local club, situated on the edge of Richmond Park, has been part of the community for nearly 100 years: it celebrates its centenary in 2021. The club opened with…
I spend quite a good deal of time researching chocolate mousse. ‘Get out more’ I hear you cry, but it’s quite the labour of love and not really a hardship. Mousse is such a great dinner party or family dessert, I love finding new recipes and perfecting old ones. When my Mother handed me a…
Mac and Cheese in any form is a house favourite. In fact, you can tell by the amount of Mac and Cheese recipes that feature on Lucy Loves. My boys love pasta and let’s face it, it’s cheap and filling which ticks all the boxes for me, as well as them. I was always go to…
