I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Looking through a blog a few months ago, though I can't remember which one, I spied a story on Carrot Whoopie Pies. We don't have Whoopie Pies in Australia so I was keen to find what the fuss was all about. I tracked...
When I was in London I visited Borough Markets and spied a couple of photographers similarly laden with camera equipment. I think the stall holders were a bit sick of us because many stalls displayed signs announcing that unless you bought their...
It's been a while since Miss B featured on the blog. I visited her on Sunday and found her in full fairy mode. Now as every-one knows, every good fairy needs accessories, including a pair of perspex clacky heels and matching hot pink nail polish....
For the first time ever I'm posting something savoury. I didn't want you to think that I lived on a diet of cake, pies, puddings and cookies, cos nothing could be further from the truth. Now that I have my cute little pie dish, I want to use...
One of my friends bought me City Walks Paris for my birthday last year and I in turn bought copies for the 2 friends who joined me in Paris. Some of the walks I'd done before but we found some new treasures along the way. As I was staying near...
When I decided to go to Paris I sent out an open invitation to my friends to join me. I hoped to rent an apartment for a week to house the throng. In the end 2 of my friends from Sydney joined me and we downsized to a few rooms at the Hotel Taylor. It's...
Do you remember a few weeks ago I when made these cookies? They just weren't right so I tried another recipe I downloaded from here. Now I can never follow a recipe without doing a bit of tweaking and this recipe was no exception. I replaced...
I was thinking about what to write today. I knew I'd be posting some of my photos from Paris and decided to show some of my black and white film images. Apart from some spotting (removing dust and scratches from the scans) and altering the contrast,...
Now that I'm back at work again, I'm having to relearn how to squeeze everything into a 24 hour, 7 day week. In my spare moments I'm hard at work putting together a travel album so last week the gym went by the wayside. Tonight I survived my...
Whenever I go to London, I try to visit neighbourhoods I've not yet experienced. A few years ago I went to Shoreditch for the first time and decided it was time to return as I wanted to visit Labour and Wait plus have some lunch at the Albion Caff. I'd...
When I was on my trip, I knew it would be almost impossible to arrange a proper shopshoot so I did a few mini shoots in London and Paris. My first destination was Anthropologie in Regent Street. We don't have Anthropologie in Australia so I was...
I don't normally make desserts for myself except when it's winter, so when the weather is cold I start thinking about hot puddings. I always have leftover rice in the fridge, sultanas in the pantry and of course eggs and milk in the fridge, so it's...
