I am so glad that it is now autumn here in England. English autumns are very much the same as winters, in that it is grey 99% of the time, usually raining, but the weather is slightly more bipolar. At the moment the mornings and the evenings are getting really quite icy (under 10 degrees … Continue reading Whittard Orange hot chocolate

Afterschool Cookie Club chocolate and mandarin cookie dough
This is a brand that I had never heard of until my husband told me about it. We had a day exploring London and this shop was advertised as being in Victoria, and as we were nearby we decided to take the trip down to try this. I love a good cookie and when I … Continue reading Afterschool Cookie Club chocolate and mandarin cookie dough
Lidl Sweet Corner strawberry pencils
I have finally found them! Candy pencils have always been one of my favourite sweets, but finding a vegan version has been so hard. I have no idea why its been so hard, but I had given up ever finding a vegan version. My local Lidl has never been the best, usually having a very … Continue reading Lidl Sweet Corner strawberry pencils
Udderlicious dragon fruit sorbet and chocolate gelato
Udderlicious is a brand that I have seen around for quite some time now but was never certain that they had any vegan options available. The few times I did have a look into one of their stores, they had no vegan options on offer, so I gave up checking. That was probably a few … Continue reading Udderlicious dragon fruit sorbet and chocolate gelato
Crosstown and John Whaite rainbow scroll
This doughnut was created in collaboration with John Whaite as part of a charity initiative to raise money for 'akt' as part of their Pride events in 2024. I tried this about two weeks ago, in August. Here in the UK, Pride Month is held in June, however Crosstown state on their website that their … Continue reading Crosstown and John Whaite rainbow scroll
Strawberry Jammie Dodgers
For my international readers out there, Jammies Dodgers are probably one of the main pillars of British society. Jammie Dodgers, Digestives and custard creams. These three biscuits are likely the only things keeping most British people together most of the time. I know, at least for myself, that there are very few situations where a … Continue reading Strawberry Jammie Dodgers
The pumpkin cookie is also back!
I believe this cookie has been around for three years or so, but I don't recall seeing it last year otherwise I would have had one. As per my previous review, this cookie is again a very pleasant autumnal treat to enjoy with a warming coffee. It does have a slight pumpkin flavour to it, … Continue reading The pumpkin cookie is also back!
It’s pumpkin season!
I don't care that it's only September 2 (because I actually had this on 31 August) and so it is arguably too soon to be thinking about the autumn and Halloween....but not for me. I was made for autumnal covers, spooky vibes and oversized knitwear. And we all know that the seasons are dictated by … Continue reading It’s pumpkin season!
Krispy Kreme Cinnamon Swirl
I love this time of year, because the flavours on offer across the country move away from fruity summer flavours to cosy winter flavours. I was very excited to hear that the Starbucks pumpkin spice latte will be making a comeback in September, and now Krispy Kreme have released their new cinnamon swirl doughnut. I … Continue reading Krispy Kreme Cinnamon Swirl
Krispy Kreme blueberry bubble bliss
Another week and another new offering from Krispy Kreme. Surprisingly, it has actually been a while since I have had a Krispy Kreme, mainly because I have been so busy lately I haven't really had a chance to stop and see whether anything new has come through. I do find that Krispy Kreme seem to … Continue reading Krispy Kreme blueberry bubble bliss
