Now it may not be the Oscar shortlist (just yet) but here’s something I have been nominated for that’s (almost) just as glamorous- the UK Blog Awards 2015. Yes that’s right they exist and this is a polite notification in true modestly British fashion that voting is open and you may vote for me and …
Weekend Adventures | Surrey, Squashes and Spas
Weekend Adventures – episode 2.
Halloween Pumpkins
Another year another questionable choice to draw inspiration from Pinterest and replicate a Halloween pumpkin design probably originally completed by an artist or, as Tom suggested, Photoshop. Following on from last year’s Grumpy Cat I opted for a classic spooky rat for my main feature. Festive. I chose this because I like to willingly test …

Summer Camp S’more Cake
At my friends’ recent wedding the bridal party were tasked with the fun job of helping to create desserts for the day.
