Cooking or baking
With the new series of The Great British Bake Off heading towards the quarter finals stage and lots of cookery shows on tv we cannot think of a more pleasant and useful pastime, and we’re sure that Mary Berry, Jamie Oliver and the Hairy Bikers would agree. The end result is also really tasty, As long as you don't burn it!
