Well hello lovely readers and fellow cake-addicts. I do hope life is treating you well and perhaps you are munching on a freshly baked treat as you peruse this post.

Like most of the people who live and work in London I have a love/ hate relationship with our bustling capital. One day last week I had a morning of intense loathing for London due to two cancelled trains, mistakenly jumping on the wrong train, a diverted bus and a long walk in the pouring rain. This… [Continue Reading]
Were you, like me, beginning to think that the grey days of winter would never end? Why do the bright green shoots and sprightly flowers of spring always come as such a delightful surprise to us Brits every year?!

As I served this up to some friends last night I started singing ‘Lets get ready to crhumble’, along to the tune of the current UK No.1 single, ‘Let’s Get Ready To Rhumble’ by Ant ‘n’ Dec ( first troubling the charts in 1994 and now re-released as a charity song ). Its not that I… [Continue Reading]
Well, here we all are on the eve of a long bank holiday weekend. Four gorgeous days of no work, hurrah! Mr Love and I are off on a jaunt to Somerset this weekend and I fear it will remind me of my British based childhood holidays ie, being cold and wet most of the… [Continue Reading]
