Homemade Cinnamon Syrup stocking filler

Nothing makes a Christmas gift special, like making your own. Food gifts are always my favourite to share with friends. This year I wanted to make my sister something special. She's a known coffee fiend, who loves Christmas almost as much as I do.

Cinnamon for me is the flavour of Christmas. So I decided to make her a Cinnamon Coffee syrup. Before you write this one off as being too complex, think again, this simple craft takes minutes of prep and like most of my Christmas gift ideas, costs hardly anything to make.

I can guarantee that you have all the ingredient to make this gift in your store cupboards at home.

Ingredients
2 cups water
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup regular sugar
One table spoon Cinnamon

Instructions
Place all ingredients in saucepan and heat on a low temperature until the sugar dissolves and the mix becomes syrup like in consistency.

Allow the mix to call then pour into a swing top glass bottle

See wasn't that a really easy to make christmas gift?

So they are a cheap option but are they cheerful enough to do the job?

Starting our kitchen garden

Growing our own food has been an ambition of my husband and I. We both really value locally sourced produce, and enjoy spending time outdoors. In our first home together (a basement flat in the city centre) we planted anything and everything we could in planters on the windowsill. I had green beans trailing up the bars of our windows. They bolted and twirled up the bars but never got enough light to produce anything edible. Then we moved into our first pub which had masses of outdoor space, unfortunately, all car park and no dirt. We managed to sustain some hanging baskets with strawberries and a few herb planters, but that was about it. Now we are in our new home. A lovely country pub in the new forest, whiich offers a private garden just for our little family. We moved here when I was 8 months pregnants and ever since, I've been desperate to make the most of it. Since the new year we've been planning what to do with this neglected space. I found this

Sowing in January- kitchen garden and allotments

What can I grow this January? After the business of December, January has hit me like a sledgehammer. I'm bored. I need a new project, and what I really want to do is get on top of my allotment and kitchen garden.
