Soda bread and my weekend

I have been watching 

The Fabulous Baker Brothers and I was inspired by there quick and easy soda bread recipe. I gave it a go and it turned out really well. It is so easy too!

This weekend I have done paper maiche pinata with my sister and my nephews, I was helping them prepare for a party in the evening, we had lots of fun. I then popped by my parents to see them after there holiday. So a pretty busy saturday!

Today I went with a no plan day and just did what I fancied  I popped in to town for a little bit on a hunt for an oil filled radiator, after I failed I came back home.

I am very lucky to have waitrose walking distance from me, so every now and then, as a treat, I take a wander there and buy a few things. The walk is a nice one as well - lots of autumn changes going on!

It is a good job I walk there because I always want to buy so much, but it is a bit out of my price range for everyday shopping.

Today the fancy packaging on this iced coffee jumped out at me so I got it for Manny, he is a BIG coffee lover. I love the detail on the carton, every side had something different!

I have jsut realised how out of order this post is - oh well! Whilst in town I saw this amazing musician - he walked along the rope whilst playing the fiddle - it was amazing!

Last week I also spotted babar in town,  I used to watch him as a child!

I hope you have all had a great weekend x

Another walk

I have been trying to up my activity, so I have been going for walks in the evenings, well I decided to mix it up a bit and introduced the 'balancing a bottle of water on your head' trick to my walk! I got quite good at it ( a few people stared but oh well!)

I even managed it whilst on the rope climbing!! 

Whilst on the rope climbing frame, take a seat and watch the trains go by!

Walks and lovely friends

I recieved this lovely card and flat pack vase from Debi at puddleduck grange - she sent it to me so I could put some flowers from my next walk in it. We finally have had some dry evenings so I went on a little walk and just look at what I came back with!

I found lots of fairies (well that is what we always called them growing up)

But I also managed to find some lovely flowers in the hedgerow to fill my new vase, how lovely do they look sat on my craft table - certainly brightens it up. Also such a clever design - when it is not in use I can store it easily! Perfect - thank you so much Debi.

sweetpeas

I have been trying to be more active recently, so I have been going on walks in the evenings, I stumbled across these sweetpeas along one of my paths - I have never seen them out in the 'wild' before, it was nice to spot them!
