Sorry for the silence, I've been quite busy recently! The photos above were taken while I was dog sitting my parents border terrier Dexter, during the crazy autumn heat wave! I've also been made redundant from my job so I'm going away for a few weeks to learn dog grooming which I'm excited about but also means I won't have time to go online much. I'll be updating on my tumblr and flickr more regulary though so feel free to add/follow me on those! Hope everyone's having a good October :o)

Apparently it's National Cupcake week so I made some of these raspberry and white chocolate cupcakes this afternoon! They may not be the prettiest cakes ever but they taste pretty good! Hope everyone's having a good week!

On my day off me and my boyfriend went to the Polar Museum in Cambridge. I planned on taking some photos (even put some film in my canon!) but it was sooo quiet in there so here's some photos from their website of horses instead! These are from the British Antartic expedition 1910-13.

This is how I've been spending my Saturday so far, drinking tea out of my Queenie mug and making Nutella cookies! Here's the really easy recipe if anyone wants to give them a go:

Nutella Cookies

1 cup Nutella
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup plain flour
1 egg

Preheat oven to 180, mix all the ingredients together well and form into 1" balls. Place onto a greased baking tin and press down with the bottom of a glass. Bake for about 8 minutes, until set. Eat!

I recently took part in the friendship bracelet swap over at Grainline. I was teamed up with Caitlin who sent me this amazing bracelet along with a lovely letter and stamps so it was a good post day! Hope everyone's having a good weekend!

PS Sorry for those of you who wanted to see the strawberry daiquiri cupcakes, they were a disaster and ended up in the bin, woops!

I have a week off from work so we spent the day at the beach, it was a bit hotter then I thought so I got a bit sunburnt, but cooled off by paddling in the sea! Planning on making some strawberry daiquiri cupcakes tomorrow so I'll post back with the results!

Hope everyone's having a great week!

Recent flickr favourites, I seem to be liking photos with animals at the moment, I think I miss my dog! I also wish I had the patience to make that crochet blanket...

Me and my boyfriend went on holiday to Sherwood Forest a little while ago, spent a lot of time swimming and trying to fatten up the local wildlife! These were taken with my canon ae-1 using expired film (apart from the top one which is digital!).

I've been spending this evening making this yummy turkish delight cake (after spending an hour walking round town trying to find somewhere that sells rose water!). The recipe can be found here, now I'm off for a nap!

14.

Finally got round to (badly) scanning some of the summery pages out of the 1939 french marie-claire I mentioned before. Enjoy!

Thought I'd share a few photos that I took the other day at the Museum of Zoology, I would have taken more but I ran out of film, woops!

Happy first day of summer! I'm ready for the barbeques and carboot sales!

Just a couple of belated photos from the weekend, I'm a sucker for a cupcake, got these at the country fair in Cambridge, yum!

Hope everyone's having a great bank holiday, it's raining here so I'm watching rubbish on the tv and making (and eating) these yummy cornflake cakes!

We went to the affordable vintage fair here in Cambridge at the weekend, it was pretty busy but I got a few bits! Including this french Marie-Claire magazine from 1939, it's got some amazing adverts and pictures in it which I'll have to scan in sometime, shame I can't read it though!
