Pretty Princess Biscuits.

I have a very busy weekend ahead, so it is just after 10:30pm and I am sat in bed watching The Big Bang Theory whilst supping on Navajo Green Tea. Tonight, I did some baking inspired by this beauty of a book that goes alongside the new Series of The Great British Bake Off: These vanilla biscuits are for my niece's 2nd Birthday party this weekend (can't believe she is 2 already!) and I am pleased...

Places I'd Like to Visit.

 I was sat thinking about this list in Greece. I used to think that I wasn't really that fussed about travelling and seeing lots of places but it turns out I was wrong. So I thought I'd make a list of places I would like to visit, and I can tick them off as I go. Personally, I do prefer visiting the less touristy places that don't get talked about much and have less people. I'm sure I'll add...

My First Etsy Purchase.

Just before I went away, I ordered my first item on Etsy. I've looked at it loads, as it's full of really quirky and original things but have never actually ordered anything. A good welsh friend of mine posted a link to my facebook page with some scraps of cowboy fabric on it which I instantly fell in love with and bought it on an impulse. By the time I got back home, it had been shipped from America...

A hot cup a' Hershey's Cocoa.

Seeing as though I've been enjoying a cool 42oC on average for the past two weeks, I feel cold right now. I decided I would try out some hot cocoa, since I would like to perfect a recipe to make for my future children in future winter times. The Americans love their hot cocoa so I thought Hershey's would be a trusty recipe and it has turned out to be a treat! You will need: - Cold Feet - 2...

Some Greeky Photos.

So, I am back from another wonderful trip. Though the sun was shining this morning at home, I still wish I was there! All good things come to an end though, and by the looks of it my first week back is going to be a rather busy one. So I thought I would put some pictures up on here taken on my trusty Nikon D40 that will serve as a reminder of where I was 'this time last week.' Enjoy...x The one...

The football is on...

I am still in Greece. The football is on, I don't like football, therefore I am trying to negotiate my way around my favourite web pages which are all in Greek. I am on a PC that works on a timer so you put the Euros in and have 20 minutes of web surfing. Bit weird. So I am merrily sipping away at my Disaronno and Lime whilst everyone else 'ahhh's' and 'go on's' at the TV. Greece is so ridiculously...

In the summertime...

I type this  in the beautiful Greek apartment we are staying in for two weeks. The weather so far has been incredibly hot so I have opted a lot of the time, for SHADE. This is highly unlike me. I have already finished my favourite book ever...By the Pioneer Woman, which has left a gaping hole. I didn't want it to end as I was really enjoying watching her life unfold. As I watch my baby niece,...

A Taste of Country Living...

Today I attended The Halifax Agricultural Show. It was actually my first time there which is quite shocking when I had lived in this town for 18 years before moving to Uni. I absolutely love events like this, because it reminds me why I love living in the countryside so much. It's great fun to see local charities, producers, farmers, shop owners etc all get together to put on a show for Halifax....

'Now that I have seen, I am responsible...'

I love that line. ^ Listen to this.  Last night, a few of us gathered to watch a film called Nefarious. It speaks of the reality of human trafficking, and the impact it has on the lives of individuals who are trapped in this terrible, degrading business. We had a break half-way through and we were all stunned to silence. As we watched more and more unfold, I began to feel a sense of...
