Argh!!!!

Well, I haven't typed a blog post in a little while.  This is due to a lot of things and mainly I have been lazy.

I am sure there are some places that I would like to review etc. but at the moment my memory is absolutely awful, I am going to have to start taking notes.

In exciting news the Fantastic Mr Bus and I are expecting our first child.  We are both very excited and of course petrified at the same time.  I have to say that Baby Bucko so far has been relatively kind to me and I have only been suffering slightly with nausea but been feeling ever so tired, I could sleep for Britain on a pin.  I also cannot stand the taste of cucumber, this is something, although I do like cucumber in a salad, I feel I can live without.  Other slight cravings at the moment have consisted of tomato ketchup and one day I just had to have sausages.  Apart from that no strong cravings either (watch this space).

We have been for the first scan and everything is tickety boo and thankfully just one in there.  Twins run in my family so I was ever so worried that we might have twins, but hurrah just the one.  I am also refusing to put scan pictures up on social media as I find this personally not for me and that they're something to be shared with just close friends and family.  In all honesty the way that they are looked at is like those old magic eye pictures.

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...

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 ...
