BEAUTY OATS: ...and THE REAL STORY OF THE THREE BEARS

As nights grow colder, A wonderful way to start the day is a bowl of steaming porridge: rich in Vitamin E to smooth skin and high in fibre to keep huger at bay. Oats are one of our favourite beauty grains!

So here, in honour of all the beautiful, time-starved mothers who rise at dawn every day to care for their family, is the REAL Story of The Three Bears:

Once upon a time....

Baby Bear went downstairs to sit in her little chair at the table. She looked into her little bowl. It was empty! "Who's been eating my porridge?!!" she squealed.

Daddy Bear arrived at the table and sat in his big chair. He looked Into his big bowl which was also empty. "Who's been eating my porridge?!!" He roared.

Mummy Bear put her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen and growled . . .

"For Heaven's sake, how many times do we have to go through this?"

"It was Mummy Bear who got up first, Mummy Bear who woke everyone in the house, it was Mummy Bear who made the coffee, unloaded the dishwasher, put everything away, went out in the freezing morning air to fetch the newspaper, set the table, put the cat out, cleaned the litter box and filled the cat's water and food dish...

…..and now that you have finallydecided to grace Mummy Bear's kitchen with your grumpy presence, listen well, because I'm only going to say this One More Time...

I HAVE NOT MADE THE PORRIDGE YET!!! "
