Do you play cards? Do your children play card games?

Here's a lens I wrote some time ago for Rocketmoms Session #3 Playing cards- a toy for life.
The gist of this lens is that if you play cards with your children, you'll have lots of fun together, they'll learn a lot, and they'll have a great skill to take through life.

I learnt to play snap and whist as a child. Most weeks these days I play bridge ( for fun- not too seriously). I still get so much fun from cards.
Cards, a Toy for life reminds you of the fun of playing cards.
Please take a look.

Jamie Oliver Italian Food Hero seems popular

I wrote this lens Jamie Oliver, Italian Food Hero for a get cracking with Robbie and Bonnie Challenge,
I don't know how popular Jamie Oliver is in the USA, but he's proably the most populat chef here in the UK, and righly so in my opinion.

I love Jamie Oliver's programmes, recipes, and his campaigns to get us all eating better, but most of all I love his Italian food ideas, and was really impressed last year visiting his restaurant in Bath.

Anyway, see what you think -my Jamie Oliver lens is getting quite a lot of visits.

Karen Brown's Guides- find that special place to stay.

We run White Moss House , Grasmere ( once owned by Wordsworth) as a 4 star guest house. We are a special place to stay, but how do you find such places?
Well, try looking in Karen Brown's Guides. Personally checked out by Karen Brown and her team, based in California, the hotels and guest houses recommended in Karen Browns Guides are all small, personally run with care and love, and miles away from the big corporate, conference venue.
White Moss House is proud to be a Karen Brown recommendation.

Recipe lenses on Squidoo

I've started to make a couple of lenses, at Bonnie's suggestion, of Rocketmoms lens lists.

Lots of catching up to do with my squidoo lenses

I've been so busy making new lenses to try to get to the 50 mark by 30 June, so I can apply for Giant Squid.

My 50th, and a very special lens for me is Castlerigg Stone Circle, about the neolithic stone circle just 10 miles from my home.
