Floof Friday

I recently bought some bird feeders for the new property and within minutes, this little fella was trying his hardest to get to the feeder. Look at the determination! Have you ever seen such a showdown?! So far, they haven't quite figured out how to get to the feeder, but I may buy another that … Continue reading Floof Friday →

Chocolate orange bourbon cookies

Now that Halloween is over with, the Christmas spirit has absolutely taken over the UK. Granted, I think this began at the beginning of October, but here we are in November and I swear I can barely move for the amount of Christmas decorations currently in the shops. I am not normally one who decorates … Continue reading Chocolate orange bourbon cookies →

Floof Friday

My new area has so many new neighbours! We seem to have multiple groups of these birds, and I learnt that these are house sparrows. They are very chatty! I love waking up in the morning to hearing them chirping away in the surrounding bushes and trees. Males tend to have a grey cap, chestnut … Continue reading Floof Friday →

Plant Pioneer no chicken kievs

I feel that the chicken kyiv is quite the staple of the British cuisine, and so when I went vegetarian it was quite hard to find anything as a replacement, let alone finding a vegan alternative. The few I have tried have always ended up being very bland and super dry, so I admit when … Continue reading Plant Pioneer no chicken kievs →

These Oreos therefore … Continue reading Oreo gingerbread cookies →

PSA: Lush Snow Fairy returns

We haven't had Halloween yet and the shops are already starting to prepare for Christmas. The only plus side to this, is that Lush have released their Snow Fairy range! This is my favourite range, because it smells like candy: Like candy floss and parma violets and Love Heart candies. I never get tired of … Continue reading PSA: Lush Snow Fairy returns →

Crosstown apple crumble doughnut

It wouldn't be a trip into London without a visit to Crosstown Doughnuts. As it is also officially autumn here in the UK, it also means that all the best autumnal flavours are out in force, including apple and cinnamon everything, which I am absolutely here for! Crosstown Doughtnuts are always a safe choice, as … Continue reading Crosstown apple crumble doughnut →

PSA: Pumpkin Spice season has returned!

The return of the pumpkin spice flavouring is my signal that Autumn has finally hit in the UK. Unfortunately our weather is far too unpredictable all year round to really signal any changes to the seasons, so I go by what flavour is the most popular amongst all of the coffee shops and restaurants. I … Continue reading PSA: Pumpkin Spice season has returned! →
