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. ...

Weston Hall Afternoon Tea

Well if you haven’t guessed I do enjoy an afternoon tea even though I don’t have a sweet tooth.   For my last birthday my lovely friend Fordy got me two vouchers for afternoon tea at Weston Hall , Stafford.   Having a browse on line beforehand this looked like a marvellous setting. We arrived at this lovely building which was very picturesque the only down side was that it was quite close to a main road and this spoiled the view a bit but the noise levels weren’t too bad.   We headed into the Cellar restaurant where our afternoon tea was booked and showed into the lounge area where we would be having it.   Mr Bus and I chose some lovely sofas to sit on next to the fire, although it was the end of May we went the weather was still cold and wet so this was welcome. For our afternoon tea we could choose from a range of teas or coffee and we opted for Assam, being one of our favourites.   We were expecting to wait a little while and started to have a nose at...

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,...
