We are the Children of the Night


The other day I popped down into town with the fantastic Mr Bus to sample a local beer garden, unfortunately a lot of people had the same idea of a Friday afternoon and we had to sit inside.  We didn’t mind too much as it was baking hot outside and it was time to enjoy a refreshing beverage.

Whilst browsing the bar I was going to have a nice refreshing bottle of bud, until I spotted it, there gleaming from the fridge like a beacon calling to me with the cool beads of condensation gently falling along the curvature of the smooth glass bottle. I had to have it at once, there was no other choice, and it was Lemon Hooch.
 
 

At once I was excited, and memories of my early drinking days come flooding back, I had to facebook, tweet and instagram it at once.

This lead to my friend and I reminiscing about the good old days going to Bowlers nightclub in Bridgend getting drunk on hooch and Bacardi breezers and the DJ playing Happy Hard-core tunes like We are the Children ofthe night and Space Invaders in the Air, with skirts far too short and heels far too high.

The best thing about Bowlers was that it was a bowling alley with a bar, a food area and a dance floor.  It was great getting drunk and bowling, I always seemed to bowl better when drunk.  Also it was like an extended sixth form common room so you knew everyone there but it was intertwined with the other schools sixth forms as well.  I was open until 2am and there was always something funny that had happened to keep us amused in School on a Monday morning.  The worst thing about bowlers was that you knew everyone, the food was awful and the happy hard-core tunes.

Still we wouldn’t have had it any other way and the place and time have given us some great memories and awesome cringe worthy photographs to go with it.

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. ...

What did the Roman's ever do for us?

It is the end of January already, and while I am freezing in my office my grandparents are on a cruise around the world. They are at this moment in Honolulu. I am hoping that I can look forward to an old age like them. This year is going too quickly for me already. Ah well, I have nothing to complain about I suppose. Apart from the dreaded Valentines Day is approaching and my first one where I am single in years. I am not sure whether to jump for joy or slit my wrists, joyful that I haven’t got to spend any money or sad because I am all alone in this cruel world. I think I shall concentrate on the first option. Well just doing some research and lo and behold Valentines Day originated from Rome. Typical another thing the ever so helpful Romans did for us.

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...
