A little more baking

Apparently you need to cuddle the bread to make it rise...


Sunday Sun




This weather really is amazing! After a fun dinner party on Saturday night what we needed was a nice lovely, lazy day in the sun. We strolled into town and found a fab spot on the balcony at the Watershed overlooking the water, munched on nachos and then sat on the harbourside for a while listening to the sound of some amazing African music. We even stumbled accross Vegfest, where we sampled the delights of some yummy vegan foods, then headed to the park (spotting Rosie and Jim on the way) for a couple of hours to eat lollies, read the papers and have a snooze. Such a great day!

A day in Bath

I needed to take Rodney (my lovely little Nissan Micra) for his MOT on Saturday morning in the village where my parents live, so I took the opportunity to have a catch up with some friends in Bath and do a spot of shopping too. I met Georgia in Queen's square where we sipped on Frappucinno's and had a nice chin-wag. I took a snap of her lovely patent sandals. Then I me up with Felicity for more chats and a look around the shops where I managed to get some great Gap basics and a denim shirt (something I've been after for ages) and the coolest bikini top ever!

Drinks at the Lido

With all these balmy evenings finally upon us, outside seating was top priority when I met up with my friend Vicky on Tuesday. We decided to head to the Lido in Clifton, which was absolutely amazing! On the evening of the Olympic Torch madness, we found a real hide-away far from the crowds in a peaceful tranquil setting. The evening was then topped off with some lovely chats and two glasses of really delicious prosecco!

Badger's Hill Farm

Mum and I went to visit my sister in Kent this weekend, we took a trip to Badger's Hill farm with my little niece Coralie. It was such an amazing place, an old Cider farm, it had been lovingly renovated into a shop and cafe with quirky finds hidden around every corner. The fabulous thing about this place is that you can't find it in any guide books as the owner doesnt want to make it a tourist destination rammed full of people (I think that's a lovely touch). Outside there are hundreds of garden ornaments and vintage style metal furniture, inside was a shop abolutely crammed with delicious goodies. The highlight was the huge Ploughmans lunch we devoured in the vine-lined greenhouse.
