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.

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...
