Reinvent your empty nest... home feeling empty after the children left? Why not think about becoming a guardian for overseas children during exeats and half terms. Email kathy at [email protected]. #emptynesters #reinventyouremptynest #schoolholidays

#BircherMuesli is a fantastic, healthy breakfast. Make up in jam jars so you can take with you if needed. Porridge oats, apple juice, water, dried fruit, nuts, seeds and chia. Mix and leave in fridge overnight. Add yogurt and berries when ready. Soo delicious. #breakfast

#TechTuesday. These are my favourite apps: @touchnote for on the go postcards; @Stocard for keeping store/loyalty cards on phone and not cluttering wallet; @duolingo for learning a language; @osmaps for when I'm out walking; @WineSearcher to help me choose good wine.

I can’t wait. Have loved your other books and are a failsafe ‘go-to’ when I need inspiration. #cooking #recipes

[Diana Henry @DianaHenryFood]

Copies of my new book are just starting to arrive and it will be out in September. It’s full of dishes that you roast or bake and plenty of ‘bung it in the oven’ suppers (I love my oven). Excuse the promotion but is IS a good and useful book

Friends talk of loosing themselves for the time they are creating, finding artistic talent they never knew they had and finding a peaceful and fulfilling past time. Google 'art classes near me' or ask friends to recommend.

Feeling so sorry for all this affected from hay fever. It’s so debilitating and much misunderstood. #hayfever

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

“How’s the hay fever?”
“My face looks like a red crying bowling ball and it’s like I’m breathing through an old carpet, but apart from that it’s fine”
