Gun Range
Earlier this week DmentD took me to the gun range. This might seem odd and bizarre to anyone over there in the UK, you’re all wondering now whether I’m living with a gun-toting maniac *grins* The answer’s no I’m not. This was infact the first time I had seen any of the guns though I […]
Continue Reading...Knitting!
A while back I decided to re-teach myself knitting and crochet (though so far I’ve only done the knitting). Finding a project I wanted to do and some nice wool I set to making a hat… … it failed! I followed the pattern religiously, and there I think was my problem.. It claimed to be […]

And some photos not promised. First, DmentD and I at his work Christmas party at the museum, and then a couple of us playing about while we were baking! Next, the gift tins! And every item in them… We didn’t make the cat treats, but we did make everything else. It was so much fun […]

It’s been a very wonderful Christmas. DmentD took from Christmas Eve off and isn’t back to work until Monday so it’s been fantastic having the time together with nothing urgent to do.

Continue Reading...Caaake!
Two weeks of cakes down, one left. I’m really enjoying it so far, picking up some new techniques and getting better. We’ve had a busy week making carrot cake and banana cake, a triangle cake, amour de polenta, pineapple upside down cake, sacher torte and an alhambra cake for the exam. It was fun making […]
Continue Reading...Dazed and Confused
That’s mostly how I’ve spent this week! I gained a cold this week, which steadily travelled from my sinuses to my throat and now has taken up residence in my chest. Still, I made it to class every day, even if I was coughing through the demo and just trying to stay warm! Having 6 […]
Continue Reading...7 Hours
That’s apparently how long I can stay awake to keep DmentD company when we’re driving long distances overnight! I had class Wednesday night, with my exam for custards making the charlotte au cassis, it went well, my glacage was a bit thick but aside from that it went well.. my piping is improving, I still […]
