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. ...

28 Years Later

My word I can’t believe that 28 years ago this month I met my best friend.  Who would have thought it?  We have been together through thick and thin, there have been highs and lows but like any relationship you have to work at it. We can remember that our first argument was about the size of a killer whale, I think I said it was as big as a house.  Goodness knows.  Anyway, we have had some other disagreements since then but when it comes down to it we are still there for each other.  I think we also know when we need some space and so if we don’t hear off one another for a couple of days it’s not a big thing. Ms James is my best friend for many reasons.  I know she is always there, she is very good at advice although can do with listening to her own wise words now and again, but can’t we all.  Also she doesn’t judge.  I know I can tell her anything on this planet and she won’t judge me and be nothing but a friend. I love her quirk...

Like to Graze?

Well, I have started to try and be healthier, mainly with making my portions smaller and doing some exercise. I now try and go for a run once a week (to start with) and my sister and I now attend Aquafit every Thursday. The other evening when I went to one of my fantastic friend’s house I noticed these delicious looking healthy snacks on her table, brimming with flavour and healthy goodness. I just had to ask her about them. They come from a company called Graze, which is online. You can order boxes from them (a snack box or a nutrition box) which will be delivered straight to you either weekly or every other week, for a small cost (cheaper than buying it all from a supermarket for sure). The box is small enough to fit through your letter box as well, so you don’t have to worry if you’re in or not. Also you can tell them when you’re going to be on holiday so they won’t send you a box during that time. These boxes are filled to the brim with goodness, and contain things like nuts,...
