So in order to grow Camilla’s Kitchen and let you find out more about what I do and answer any questions, I am going to join in with Sophie Callahan on Instagram under the hashtag #30DayRuralBusiness.

So whilst it still very much feels like the depths of winter, I thought I would look back on a very happy day I spent in London last month.

As I was growing up, one of my favourite stories was Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit and all his friends. We spent many a happy evening reading about the adventures of Squirrel Nutkin and Jemima Puddleduck!

Well, another year, another World Book Day… As a teacher, I always look forward to it, a chance for children to share the books they enjoy and to do activities linked to different books.

In the Autumn of 2018, my sister sent me a photo… Of racing silks, a seed was planted and I set about googling images to try and track down the cutter! My searching paid off and before long I found the cutter, it was from a company in America.

Last month, I received a message from the lovely Sally from Pheasants and Tweed asking me to trial a new cutter. A couple of days later, this lovely cutter arrived and to tie in the 100th Anniversary of the end of World War One I was asked to make some poppies.
