Thanks to a pretty horrendous workload at the moment, I am only just getting around to sharing my latest Foodie Penpals update. My parcel from Anne of Les Recettes du Panier (“Recipes from a wicker basket”) was awesome, so I have been desperate to post … so annoying when work gets in the way! So […]

Foodie penpals – July 2015
Hey, hey, hey – foodie penpals is back! I am a little late with this month’s reveal, but that hasn’t stopped me eating my way through my delicious parcel. This month I was again paired with Selina from BigHomeBird (we were previously paired up in March 2014 and as you can read from that post, […]
Foodie penpals – May 2015
It’s my favourite time of the month when I get to share with you the foodie goodies I sent and received in May … and I have to make the most of it as Carol-Anne from This Is Rock Salt (the one who makes Foodie Penpals happen) is off on her holidays so we’re all […]
Foodie penpals – April 2015
Okay, I know I am really late this month with my reveal, but it’s not my fault! My Dutch penpal Mandy was a bit delayed in sending me my parcel (for which she was very apologetic) and I wanted to wait to receive it before I posted an update, and I finally had my box of […]
Foodie penpals – March 2015
I always put a lot of thought into the foodie penpals parcels I put together, but this month I was paired with Rebecca in Wales, and she told me she would treasure anything local that I sent her. I often say the same to others, but I must say that I struggled to find something […]
Foodie penpals – February 2015
I love a lot of things about Foodie Penpals. Obviously I love getting food by post (I mean, who wouldn’t?). I also love picking out goodies to send to a stranger, based on their answers to a few simple questions (for example “what won’t you eat?”). I have discovered bloggers who I have continued to follow […]
Foodie Penpals – January 2015
Hooray, Foodie Penpals is back, after a little Christmas break. I love preparing a parcel each month to send to my penpal, and also love receiving a package of goodies chosen by them, but this month everything ran a bit late as the penpal I was assigned to didn’t get in touch with me, so […]
Foodie penpals – November 2014
November is the last foodie penpals before 2015, as we all take a break in December to focus on Christmas instead, so I was looking forward to my last parcel of the year, especially when I realised that my penpal – Anna – was from the Netherlands. It was her first time participating in foodie penpals, […]
Foodie penpals – October 2014
I was very proud this month to convince my colleague Liz to take part in foodie penpals – she had a great experience with it after a couple of teething problems, and received a lovely parcel from Lithuania. She also sent some Cambridgeshire goodies to her penpal, which makes me keen to get paired up […]
Foodie penpals – September 2014
Only a few day’s late for this month’s foodie penpals – mainly because I have been spending an awful lot of time baking and working this week, which has meant I haven’t had much time to write. Thanks to a quiet weekend I am catching up on my It’s not easy being greedy posts, and […]
