Cycling in the Rain

Well lo and behold another wet summer for us. As usual the met office lied and said we would have a nice hot summer, I scough as I sit here at the end of July in my winter clothes!!!! Of course the met office is trying to back track now and say that the media misinterpreted what they had said.

To be honest I don’t mind the rain that much but I do like to have a summer. One of my best friends is getting married in about 2 weeks and so I am hoping the weather brightens up (the sun shines on the blessed and all that), also they are having a BBQ as their wedding reception. Each to their own I suppose, definitely wouldn’t be my choice. I can see it now, sausages and burger grease all down your lovely outfits, eeep!!! I much prefer the idea of a nice meal or lot’s of different cheeses and breads, with dips and oils.

On a different note, I purchased a lovely new bike the other week in a bid to get fit and as of yet I haven’t ventured out on it. I have been waiting for some nice weather but I think if I wait for that I shall be waiting forever. So tonight I am popping to Halfords to get some bicycle clips (sad I know but my trousers always get caught) I am also going to purchase a bike rack for my car so I can take the bikes camping when I go with himself the end of August. Also I am encouraging himself to join me in the cycling, he needs inner tubes first!!!! Then we will be off on numerous adventures, there will be no stopping us…..

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,...
