Orlando, what to see and how to get the best prices!
I write about the States a lot… I do, but you have to admit it is pretty awesome to visit! I’ve been going over to my American Stepfather’s place since I was twelve, and since then, racked up some serious air mileage. Mostly I’d travel to the tri-state area around New York, in Summer camp, we’d venture up to Rhode Island and Massachusetts for trips. I craved more, such a huge country and so many cultures, each corner of it has a COMPLETELY different culture. L.A was always my tunnel vision. I know I can make things happen when I set my mind to it and after graduating Secondary school…

SUMMERTIME……and the livin’ is easy!
Can you feel it? It’s officially SPRING! Well it will be from next Sunday when the clock’s go forward!…. I am absolutely dying to get my patio sorted and get out there for some al fresco dining, or even a glass of Prosecco after work in the evenings!

A Fun Day In Front Of The Camera: Closet Clearout on Xpose

I’m not a stranger to TV, Mum had me on BOSCO, Anything Goes, Scratch Saturday and a couple of drama’s as a kid, as one of the storytime kids or as an extra. It was a sort of perk…

Cupcakes to ‘those Brownies’ to the yummiest cheesecake! Baking for a six year old’s party!
My exploration of French baking is dragging out a bit, while waiting for my silicone macaron tray to arrive, I carried on baking other things, I can’t goo too long without baking something, I get little twitches in my palms, urging myself to pick up a rolling pin and make something, be it a cookie or a fully-loaded-with-carbs-and-fat cake…. and let someone else eat it! My nephew turned six last week and Aunty Sarah is always known for her cupcakes at all the birthdays. However, I feel that cupcakes are wasted on a child’s birthday party, They always lick the frosting off and get distracted and the cake ends up…
