  1. All parents know that kids need clothes that last and the new Capsule Kidswear Collection from Weird Fish means that you can treat your Minnows to fun, affordable and hard-wearing clothes without the expensive price tags.

    I recently ordered the Hardy Full Zip Textured Fleece for my son and the Cherry Printed Jersey Dress for my daughter and have been impressed with both as they’ve been worn several times and washed up really well.

    The order arrived just in time for half term and I’ve pretty much had to peel the fleece off my son because he feels so snuggly in it.

    We haven’t had the best weather recently for my daughter to wear her colourful dress outide as much as she’d like but luckily we did have some sunshine one day and it was perfect for our trip to the splash fountains on Bournemouth Pier Approach as she could get wet in her cozzie and then just dry off and throw the dress on for a walk around Town.

    I was so pleased that they fitted them perfectly and I know I’ll be ordering more items in the future because of the quality.  Other items in the collection include funky fishy t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies for the boys and t-shirts, dresses, fleeces and ¾ length trousers for the girls so there’s something to keep every child comfortable and stylish.  Current sizes range from 3 to 13 years however this may change in the future.

    Dorsetmums was gifted the children’s clothing mentioned for the purpose of a review however all words are my own.

  2. This is one of my favourite recipes because there is no baking required and it hardly takes any time to prepare.  Plus, it tastes flipping delicious and it counts as 1 of your 5 a day! 
     
    Ingredients:
     
    250g Digestive Biscuits
    80g Melted Butter
    Can Carnation Caramel
    300ml Fresh Double Cream
    3 Bananas (don’t slice in advance)
    Chocolate for the top (optional)
     
    Banoffee Pie 2
     
    To make the Banoffee Pie I’d recommend using a greased 9" loose bottomed tin so you can get it out easily.  Start by melting the butter and then blitz the biscuits or smash them up into fine crumbs.  Add the cooled butter and push down into the bottom of the tin before putting it in the fridge.

    The next layer is the caramel which you could make from scratch but I love the Carnation version which comes straight out of the can and tastes delicious.  Then slice your banana, not too thin because you won’t taste it but make sure you have a good coverage.  Whisk the double cream so it’s nice and thick and then smooth it on the top of the bananas and then return to the fridge.

    If you’re a chocoholic like me then you can pop a generous helping the top, it won't help your waistline but does give it an extra level of deliciousness.  Any chocolate will taste great however I opted for Galaxy Ripples which I chilled and then chopped.
