Herman the German friendship cake

Meet Herman. Yes, my cake has a name. And no, I’m not going completely bonkers (well maybe a bit). Herman is a friendship cake. You might describe him as like an edible version of those chain letters that used to get passed around all the time when I was a teenager (do those things still read more »

Rocket Fuel

I slept reeeeaaally badly last night. That is not like me at all. Usually I’m a ‘head hits the pillow and out like a light’ kinda gal, but last night I was tossing and turning until a little past 3am. Needless to say, this morning I wasn’t feeling on top of the world, but I read more »

Welcome to Bristol

So I haven’t really been in a blogging place recently. So much so that I briefly toyed with the idea of giving up and closing the blog down. After giving myself a stiff talking to, I’ve decided to pick myself off, brush myself off and just get on with it. I’ve struggled with sticking to read more »

Cupcakes and Goodbyes

Well, I’m here at last. Yes, I actually live in Bristol.

Breakfast at The Wolseley

I heart breakfast. Seriously. It’s the best meal of the day. I should go out for breakfast more often! I’ve been dying to go to the Wolseley since as long as I can remember – well, as long as I’ve lived in London anyway. And now I’m leaving this fabulous city I thought it was read more »

Broken Promises: Part Deux

So this is the part where I tell you about all the stuff from my 99 things list that I’ve managed to cross off over the last couple of months. I know, I know, I was supposed to do this as I was going along but what with assignments and thirtieth birthdays and job hunting, it’s been read more »
