Remembrance Sunday is always taken seriously in our house. A time to reflect on our own families’ histories and how much we have to be grateful for. It’s also been a week of catching-up with my awesome Bake Off buddies and travelling thousands of years back in time.
Back home in the Big Smoke after a relaxing half term away. Last night’s events in London have been so upsetting, not just for Londoners but for our friends around the globe. This is the best city in the world. We’ve faced threats of terrorism my whole life, but life must go on and it’s important to appreciate every moment.
I’ve reverted back to being a big kid this week and loved every minute! One of the best things about being a parent is getting to enjoy so much “kids’ stuff” so I make the most of it as often as I can.
This week I threw my B.I.Y. Bake It Yourself book launch party and it’s the most fun I’ve had at a party since I got married. Great turn out, ace company, and a numb hand from signing so many books!
I’ve been surrounded by books this week and not just copies of my own! It’s been really great catching up with so many of my GBBO Class of 2014 Alumni too.
While this week’s been a bit crazy for me, there are 12 other people it’s been a whole lot crazier for. I can’t wait for the new series of Bake Off to start this Wednesday – on your marks, get set, BAKE!
Back from Jimmy’s Farm with a well-earned hangover and a very soggy tent after a cracking weekend!
No blog from me last week as I’ve been flat out with work but I’ve got a fun few weeks ahead. Come and catch up with me in person if you get a chance!
Today was our youngest daughter’s 3rd birthday party and the first kid’s party we’ve had since the Bake Off aired so the pressure was on on the birthday cake front! I’ve had a pretty awesome baking week as I started shooting for my book this week too.
Food on the brain this week: thinking about it, talking about it, planning it, making it, and of course eating it!
