What We Did This Week: Cosy Greenhouse Styling, Garden Projects, a trip to Broadway & Fresh Baking 🍪

Welcome to Rocket & Be at Home! I’m Cat, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way to our corner of the countryside. ✨In this week's Vlog, I show you some of the new blooms in the garden, I take a little trip to Broadway in the Cotswolds and visit one of my favourite shops, we go for a little tipple in one of our local pubs, we tackle some jobs in the garden, we go for pizza at RH England, I finally finish my greenhouse styling and I bake some Anzac biscuits - they were delicious! 🌸 *Rocket & Be ✨ Shop My Collection: https://rocketandbe.com ✨Instagram - rocketandbe.com1 📸 Follow our weekly life on Instagram: rocketandbeathome *Anzac Biscuits 100g (approx. 1 cup) rolled oats 150g (1 cup + 1 tbsp) plain flour 85g (1 cup) desiccated coconut 100g (½ cup packed) soft light brown sugar 125g unsalted butter 2 tbsp golden syrup 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) 1 tbsp boiling water 50g (¼ cup) raisins Method -Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C Fan / Gas Mark 4). Line two large baking trays with baking parchment. -Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, plain flour, desiccated coconut, brown sugar, and raisins. -Melt the Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan, gently melt the butter and golden syrup together over a low heat until smooth and liquid. -Mix and React: Remove the pan from the heat. In a small cup, mix the bicarbonate of soda with the boiling water, then stir this into the hot melted butter mixture (it will froth up). -Combine: Pour the frothy butter mixture into your dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until everything is well combined and sticky. -Shape: Roll heaped dessertspoons of the mixture into balls and place them on the baking trays, leaving about 3cm between each to allow them to spread. Gently press them down with the back of a fork. -Bake: Bake for 10–15 minutes until they are a beautiful golden brown. -Cool: Leave them on the tray for 5 minutes to firm up slightly, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely so they crisp up. ... After recently moving to our new home on the beautiful Oxfordshire and Cotswolds borders, I decided to open the doors and share our journey of turning our house into a home. Named after our two beloved dogs, Rocket and Bebe, my lifestyle brand Rocket & Be is built on a love for curated charm and artisanal detail - and this channel is where that brand meets real life. What you can expect here: Home & Garden Updates: Join me and my husband, Paul, as we navigate house updates, interior styling, and the joys of our beautiful garden. Countryside Life: Come along for walks through our local village, trips to hidden gems and outings around the stunning local area. Styling & Inspiration: I’ll be sharing how I use pieces from my Rocket & Be Collection to create beautiful table settings, seasonal displays, and a cosy, lived-in aesthetic. The "Rocket & Be" Family: Plenty of appearances from the dogs, our new rabbits, trips to visit friends, family, holidays, days out and the general beautiful chaos of country living. Whether you’re here for home decor inspiration, a glimpse into village life, or to see the latest treasures from my shop, I hope this channel feels like a warm cup of tea with a friend. New vlogs every Wednesday! ✨ Shop our Collection: https://rocketandbe.com ✨Instagram - rocketandbe.com1 📸 Follow our weekly life on Instagram: rocketandbeathome #englishcountryside #slowliving #broadway #cotswolds #cotswoldslife #thecotswolds #gardenupdates #planting #plants #bunnies #rabbits #weeklyvlog #oxfordshire #countryside #rocketandbe #sunshine #garden #greenhouse #greenhousestyling #susiewatson #adderbury #rhengland #anzacbiscuits
