When I get an oven I will roast a chicken with lemon, garlic and herb butter.

I will bake The Pioneer Woman's soft cinnamon rolls.

I will bake a frozen pizza and savour the simple pleasure.


Please can I get a new working oven.

I know late self diagnosis of neurodivergence. I know the desire to live a quiet life. I know a bumpy childhood. I know a good period drama. I know the anticipation of a house renovation.
