Things I’ve learnt from blogs this week...

Well, it’s been an odd week this week, the days have really dragged and the evenings have flown by… I’ve been eagerly awaiting the return of my first holga film… I really hope it’s in the post when I get home today. Boyfriend is taking me to Scarborough this weekend, I’m hugely excited, we’re even staying overnight (ohhhh) I love the beach and last time we were there it rained so I’m hoping it will be nicer weather. Hope you all have lovely weekend!!

  1. I seriously want one of these – It did make me smile – I’m not sure I would be able to eat the toast though, its too cute – unless it said ‘eat me’ maybe?
  2. These butterfly place cards are adorable!
  3. You can get rugs that look like grass – I miss having a garden and one of these would make up for it a little bit :)
  4. I wish I could find these molds for the UK– they are actually too cute! Eep!
  5. I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of prints of cameras… these are stunning – I love the double exposure one.

p.s. Hello to my new followers Claudy, Radio Web Blog and Red Boots (I love your blog!)

Flamingo Land!

I don't really know why its taken me so long to post about our day trip to Flamingo Land... especially as I absolutely loved it. The weather was lovely, we had great company (my sister and her boyfriend) and the rides and the zoo were amazing! I love Theme Parks and now so does Boyfriend.
( I want to take him to Alton Towers next, woo)
The best thing about Flamingo Land was that it had alot of my favourite things!

{Peacocks and tigers}

{Minature trains and awesome rides}

{I love swings!}

and swings! I love swings - in fact my favourite ride was Flip Flop - essentially a massive spinning swing!

Yeay for great days out and finding new things that Boyfriend and I can do together!!

Chocolate Macarons

After not having the time to go to Laduree when we were in London, we decided that now was the time to try making our own Macarons...

First I should admit that I'm a really messy and somewhat novice baker - I had no idea that the mixture would spread as much as it did or that it would spread even further when in the oven - oops!

So in the end we ended up with 8 large complete macarons that despite not looking the best tasted abolutely amazing!!

and heres the proof that I'm messy!!

Find the recipe I used and pictures of what they should have looked at here - I used a basic chocolate butter icing in the middle. Maybe they will look like that next time I try making them?
