My favourite bit about drinking hot chocolate is when those teeny marshmallows start to melt and go gooey. So I thought ‘scrap the cream!’ Let’s just splodge a huge blob of marshmallow on top. I think this is technically meringue, but melted marshmallow consistency is what I was going for and that’s what I got! You need to heat up […]
It’s time to start introducing you to the lovely bloggers in my sidebar. I have three wonderful blogs for you to follow today, each offering you something completely different! The Awkward Blog Angela’s blog is beautiful!! Both in design and content. A London dweller, Angela lives the life I occasionally find myself longing for. Blogger meet ups that involve the […]
Do you ever look up at the moon and wonder who else is staring at that celestial object at the exact same time? When Ben is offshore, I find comfort in the moon. Just knowing that we could both be looking at Earth’s only natural satellite makes me feel safe. It may not look the same for both of us, […]
I’m currently having my leadership skills developed at work. And as part of this process we’ve all been put through the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Basically a test that will spookily, accurately tell you what your personality type is. There are 16 different personality types according to the Myers and Briggs ladies and each and every one of you […]
My life currently revolves around notebooks and pens. Luckily I received enough of both for my birthday that I could open my own stationery shop. Back in August I signed up with the Open University to do a course in creative writing and it’s by far the best decision I have ever made. I am loving it. And that’s not […]
After the success of this year’s postcard swap (thank you to those who have filled in the survey, it’s really helpful), I have decided to run a Christmas card swap. It will work very much the same as the postcard swap. I will split you into groups of 5 – 6 people and you will send each person in your […]
Ever since stumbling across St Mary’s Church on Pinterest, I have been eager to go on a little adventure to find it. There’s something about ruins and abandoned buildings that fascinates me. They offer a window into history that no restoration project can. I love to picture the movements of the people who frequented these ghost buildings. And although often […]
AKA. Great British Bake Off challenge number 3! For those not living in the UK, you wouldn’t believe the furore that Great British Bake Off caused the week they attempted Baked Alaska. A bit of ‘you’ve got your own freezer’ drama, meant melted ice cream and ultimately one Baked Alaska thrown in a bin mid strop. There was outrage on […]
It’s time to introduce you all to the ladies who have been gracing my sidebar this month. I have a mix of lifestyle, history and health blogs for you, all worth a follow. But I’ll let them do the talking! Hope you find some lovely new blogs to read. I always love welcoming people back to the blog and Angela’s […]
After visiting Charlotte at the weekend and sleeping in her wonderful studio space, I am totally inspired and excited to move back into mine. My course starts in just a few weeks, and as many of the lovely ladies on Instagram have said, it’s the perfect excuse to buy lots of pretty stationery. First on my wish list, and a […]
