I was scrolling through my iPhotos earlier this week, only to discover that it is now well over a decade since I started documenting the Six Nations rugby tournament through the medium of gingerbread! These little fellas have evolved considerably since then, and I have also had so much fun creating gingerbread structures and biscuits […]
Welsh shirt dusted off, tickets in hand, we were looking forward to the 2020 Six Nations Championship climax weekend when normality was set aside and the new social distancing world order took hold.

Due to the popularity of my rugby gingerbread men at the 2015 World Cup, I have set up a separate blog giving these little guys their very own stage. I will post all gingerbread related materials here from now on, and so please visit http://www.gingerbreadofheaven.com for all your Six Biscuit news!
It is now less than a week until the RBS Six Nations tournament kicks off again! Excited much?! And what an excellent 12 months of rugby it has been: Last season’s Super Saturday kept us all on the edge of our seats to see Ireland named champions, and then, a home World Cup gave us […]

There […]

The BBC’s homage to the HBO fantasy blockbuster, Game of Thrones, was well timed in readiness for the biggest opening clash for a decade. The […]
Super Saturday – March 15th 2014 And there we all were again: All poised for an exhilarating day of international rugby.

Not only have we just spent a significant proportion of the weekend glued to our tellies watching six European teams battle it out for a round one advantage in this year’s RBS Six Nations tournament, but we are now left counting down the hours […]
