Bird and cake

Today I made a bird...

.and chocolate muffins!

This weekend...

I spent the weekend mostly reading this -

Fantastic!

And eating these...

Yum!

Ace of Cakes

Ughhh, I hate mornings - especially after having a very long dream about covering a bus in blue fondant icing - that's what happens if you stay up until midnight to watch Ace of Cakes... I love Duff!

(Good Food Channel 11.30pm and 12!)

On the Move

My sister kindly let me and my mum tag along on her flat-hunting expedition to Bristol yesterday - she found a gorgeous flat in Clifton and we want to move in too..

We had lunch at the Arch House Deli (website here) which was yummy!

If you know someone on the move, how about these New Address cards... (set of 8 here)

Or a New Home card here!

Pest Control and Berries

Courgette cake

Yum - we've just hoovered up this courgette cake - made from the recipe on the UK Handmade blog here. It was yummy, and yes, it's made from courgettes...

Think I need to work on my food photography - it was a miracle that I got any photos before it was devoured :)

PYO

Yum... we went to pick some strawberries after school and managed to bring some home without eating them all :)

Off for a swim soon, then strawberries and cream, can't wait!

Barbie - Moody style..

Had the second barbeque of the year yesterday on our new barbie! (Well, new oil drum - the old one rusted through..)

And of course there were marshmallows for pudding..

I love Ed Boxall's lino prints, especially the ones inspired by camping trips with his family - our boys have a fascination with fire as well... have a look at Ed's prints here.

Cupcakes!

Yum, there's only one thing to do on a cold Friday with a five year old off school poorly - cupcakes.
Think I'll go and have another one..
