Insert title here……..

Oh my word, is it really the end of November….it can't be.  It really is true the older you get the quicker the time goes.

Well, I have just over three weeks left in work before Christmas Holidays and then starting my Maternity leave.  In some ways this has come about really quick and in others not so much.  At the moment I think the impending arrival of Baby Bucko hasn't quite sunk in and I am concentrating on Christmas first.  I am sure when that is done reality will start to hit.

Don't get me wrong I am very excited about meeting our little one and becoming our own little family with the fantastic Mr Bus, but it is scary as you can never really know how your life is going to change until it does so.  I don't think I am not looking forward to any aspect of becoming a mother, there are many more pros than there are cons.

Although I am only 30 weeks pregnant today, I really can't wait to get my body back, its just not mine any more.  Although being pregnant is a wondrous thing and the feeling is amazing, at this stage it is also getting tiring and hard work.  You really do think if picking something up off the floor is truly worth it or not.  I suppose I am feeling it more so at the moment as I have a terrible cold to boot, and its not making things any easier.  When you're already getting out of breath quickly, to then have congestion problems due to a cold on top it's not much fun.

The fantastic Mr Bus and I have decided not to find out the sex of our baby either.  I think because it's our first and we really don't care what we have, it will be nice to have a surprise.  Some people say it helps you get more organised and prepared, what a load of tosh unless you plan on subjecting your child to gender stereotypes, which I certainly will not if I can help it.  This is shown clearly with the nursery.  We have left the car wall stickers up from the previous owners of the house as we liked them and they are staying, we have also incorporated the Safari animal theme into the room.  This is great as they are all bright colours which babies respond best to, rather than blooming pastel shades!!!  So we're going with a safari park theme, woop woop.  (Really want to inject some dinosaurs into the room as well…Jurassic Safari Park??…)



Anyway, this wasn't going to be a pregnancy blog post…ha.  Kind of hard to avoid when you're living through it.  I was going to say how much I am missing the Domestic Sluttery blog.

This was a fantastic blog by some fantastic ladies, and although I will admit I was a bit lazy keeping up with their posts, they were always interesting and had something for everyone, I will have to have a trawl of the internet when on leave to see if I can find an equally good blog.

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,...
