But I will be bringing more updates over the next week or so including photos from my adventures. I can’t believe it’s all over now! It still feels very surreal! On the morning of the 22nd, despite not going to bed until after 1am, I got up at 6am to catch the 8am bus to Manhattan from DC. I…

Welcome, September*
Credit I cannot believe that (for me anyway) the 1st September marks the end of Summer and the beginning of Autumn, and more excitingly, the run up to Christmas. As much as I love Summer, the long days and the warm weather, Autumn is where my heart truly lies. I love the cool crisp weather, the curtains drawn, candles lit and blankets on the bed.

I love Autumn fashion for both myself and Little Miss, I love pumpkin spiced everything. However, I had a little eye opener last night while browsing Facebook to…

Cake That! Signature Bake – Double Chocolate Cake with Fresh Cream & Salted Caramel
Currently in the US, I’ll just be checking in for my flight home *sob* so as you’ve probably guessed, this is a scheduled post I prepared before I left. I was invited by Best British Bloggers to take part in Cake That! A bakery competition with Euphorium Bakery who will be launching their new website later this month. Not one to turn down any cookery challenges, I quickly accepted. Although, the thing that really got me was the judge was none other than The Great British Bake Off winner of 2012 (my favourite year so far), John Whaite! We have three challenges, one each month until the end of The…
