Ideas Ideas Ideas....

Well what can I say, I have been a bit distracted away from my blog this month, which is a shame as I have a few ideas in the pipeline for posts. I want to write one on the Museums Association Conference I attended and had a blast at, I also want to write about my wonderful weekend away to Chester staying in the most amazing B&B ever and I want to write about the latest Digital Past Conference I attended which raised some important issues and questions.

I suppose they will appear all in good time. Time seems to be one thing I don't have enough of these days. There is so much going on at the moment I feel I could do with an extra day of the week just to tie up loose ends that seem to be everywhere. I am sure I will also write about Birthday celebrations of next week and of course Super Saturday the week after.

This month I feel although I have had some bad luck I have had good luck come from it which makes me feel someone is watching over me. Not only has my mum been sooo supportive and the best Mum in the World, Mr Bus has been amazing and the best boyfriend I could ever wish or ask for, I also have amazing friends. I do feel well and truly blessed, I may not be the richest person in the world but I think I am in terms of the friends and family I have around me :0)

Anyway enough of that.... back to business and hopefully some more blogs on the way.

VW Bus Birthday Cake

It’s that time of year again the fantastic Mr Bus’ birthday. Now last year I decided to design and make him a digger cake, this year of course I had to equal that effort or go one better. I had a few ideas in the pipeline and decided to ask the Birthday boy what he would prefer. We went with a VW Bus cake. Now I started with baking a lemon drizzle loaf cake, whilst this was cooling had the daunting thought this was not going to be high enough, so baked another lemon loaf cake, this time without the drizzle, so that I could square off the top to sit the other one on top of it. After these had cooled down, it was time to build, placing the loaf cakes one on top of the other with a layer of vanilla butter cream in the middle, I covered the cakes all over in butter cream. I then set about with the icing. I thought it best to start with the white top and draped it over the cakes, just leaving enough for a slight overlap at the bottom. ...

A Year On

I tend to not like to blog too much about serious things, as it can all get a bit bogged down. However, I would like to reflect on the past year, and truly I must say that everything happens for a reason. My 30th year started in disaster with what was meant to be a lovely trip to Rome with my boyfriend at the time, which was on my list of places to visit since goodness knows when. Instead we got to Rome and I got dumped and found a person who I considered a friend was truly the opposite. Still we managed to make the best out of a bad situation and I still got to see the things I really wanted to see but obviously my heart wasn’t in it and I was reluctant to throw my euro into the Trevi fountain not particularly wanting to return at that point. The next few months passed in some what of a blur, but luckily I have amazing friends who were there for me and pulled me through. I kept myself busy and developed quite the social life for myself and so I was never left to mull in my ...

More Afternoon Tea?!?!?!

Well yes, I have been at it again. The 2nd December my fabulous friend Fordy and I went on a lovely day trip to Bath. We love our girlie day trips and thought we would combine this one with the Christmas market and afternoon tea (of course). As it was a day off from work we allowed ourselves a little lie in so didn’t set off too early, this did mean that we missed all the rush hour traffic and had a lovely drive down to Bath. The weather was nice and bright but it was cold, which got us in the mood for a Christmas market. We arrived at the park and ride and it was full, we drove round trying to find a space, just as we were about to give up and try and find somewhere else, a bus from town pulled up and we were able to follow people off the bus to a parking space. Then came the wait in the queue for a bus, it was so cold and we wished we had layered up a bit more. Luckily we weren’t waiting long and we were on a bus into Bath centre. On arriving we got our bearings and star...
