This time of year.....

Once again my beloved car is playing up, booo. I am starting to think it doesn’t like this time of year. Anyway, the garage can’t really find much wrong with it, so as I need a reliable car to get back and fore work I have decided to mosey along to a garage after work to see what they can offer me on a part exchange. I don’t really want a new car as I do love mine, but needs must!!!!

As I am looking for a reliable car it would be interesting to know if anyone has any opinions on cars I really should avoid.

Anyway enough of the car topic as it only depresses me…… We are nearly at the end of October and I am pleased to say I have a lot of my Christmas shopping done, woop woop check me out!!!!

I am particularly looking forward to Christmas this year as my sister is expecting twins and they should arrive a few weeks before. Christmas is after all as they say for the children. It also gives me a good excuse to play with children’s toys. She has been told she is having one boy and one girl, so a perfect little family wrapped up in a Christmas bow, how exciting.

Digger Cake

For the fantastic Mr Bus’ birthday I decided to make him a digger cake and I have to say I was very pleased with the results, it also took less time to make than I had anticipated.

With the extra square of cake left from making the main body and cab of the digger, I scooped out the middle section to create the digger bucket, then covered this in butter icing and ready roll icing on top. I iced the main body of the digger and the bucket and then attached the bucket using two rolls of icing for the arms.   I used a food colouring pen for the initial detail on the digger and filled the bucket with rainbow drops and popping candy.   I placed melted...

The Afternoon Teas Have Returned....Cheltenham

Hurrah, at long last the delightful afternoon teas have returned and it was kick started with a meet up with the Biffa's (self given name for my little group of lovely ladies).  We decided to meet up in Cheltenham as it's roughly half way between Bridgend and Stafford along with being a nice place. We decided to rendezvous at the Cheltenham park and ride.  I have to say one of my main priorities when visiting any where is that they have a decent easy to get to park and ride.  I mean, why battle with the inner town systems of somewhere you haven't a clue when you can just park up and jump on a bus which does the stressful bit for you. On arrival into the town we got our bearings by heading to the nearest decent looking pub and as we were driving the strongest thing we opted for was caffeine.  Still it gave us chance to have a natter, exchange some gifts and decide where we wanted to go and if anyone had anything in particular they wanted to get.     ...
