Reflecting on a past weekend: Christmas Countdown

source

This past weekend has been a treat.

Uni has finally finished, so I could properly relax without the guilt of needing to study hanging over me. With all that guilt gone we got properly into the Christmas spirit.



We rounded up the Christmas shopping on Saturday afternoon, with a lenghty stop in the bookshop. One of my favourite shops to be in at Christmas time is a good book shop. The books are always displayed so nicely and with people wanting a quick present idea the interesting and quirky books you wouldn't usually think of are easy to find and have a flick through.

I found one such book in Waterstones and I'm really excited for the lucky recipient to open their present and see it there.

The other thing that is always good about books shops at this time of year is that even though they are busy, they're still a place to retreat from the crazy crowds, i don't know how they do it but bookshops always seem peaceful compared to everywhere else. When i used to work in a well known accessories shop i used to retreat to the nearest bookshop during my lunch break to get away from all the shoppers at this time of year....bliss!!

Our weekend also included a trip to the cinema to see the Hunger Games: Catching Fire. I'll give it to the cast of this film, they do well. I had only seen the first film a few weeks ago, slightly ignoring it because i thought it would be another horrible triology aimed at teenagers....but no, this seems a little bit more. Well pleased with it.


Sunday saw a delicious roast dinner in town and then a little wander around the chocolate festival at Southbank.  It was amazing. So many stalls selling amazing chocolate, ranging from your run of the mill milk chocolate, to raw chocolate, 100% and so much more. We indulged and got some delicious chocolate from this little company and enjoyed looking at the range of chocolate options available all around the festival.

A catch up with friends before we all head off home for the Christmas holidays, and a stop to sing some carols in Trafalgar Square ended the day off brilliantly.

How are your weekends leading up to Christmas?

Looking forwards

Source

Christmas is getting nearer and nearer and as soon as i get through a horrible week of exams, coursework and reports in uni i get to relax.

What i am most looking forward to? Well here's a list of the simple things:

• A chance to get into the Christmas spirit before i leave London
• Enjoying Oxford and Regent streets' lights without having to think about needing to shop for Christmas presents
• Getting home to fresh country air
• Walking the dogs while breathing in said air
• Sitting in front of the fire with the Christmas lights all on and family all around
• Carol services
• Eating mince pies and drinking Baileys

 What things are you most looking forward to this Christmas?

A mid-week break: Krakow

A few weeks ago myself and Adam went on a little mid-week break to Krakow. We initially thought Munich and perhaps the Christmas markets there but timings didn't work out since we only had the week at the start of November to go......so much for studying during reading week!!

We left on the Monday with a very early start, needless to say all we were able to do at Gatwick was sit and stare at the planes, no perfume spraying for me! It was worth it though as we were able to be in Krakow before lunch. The usual check in time/ arrival to the hotel imbalance happened and so we decided to leave our bags at the hotel and have a little wander around to kill the 30 minutes before we were allowed to check in. We stayed in the Kazimierz district. Just a little walk down from our hotel was the river, and the whole way along it's banks are really wide footpaths and accompanying cycle paths....amazing. We had thought we could walk all along it until we reached Wawel castle but that was a little bit far. Instead we soaked in the surroundings and took pictures of some unusual things.

Once we managed to check in we left for lunch and then on into the old town. There we say Florian's gate, the Cloth hall among other places. The cloth hall is wonderful at night time all lit up. We were a little early for dinner but found an underground metal bar that was pretty suited to us, full of nooks and crannys for us to explore. Day one was pretty eventful to say the least.

Day two was a day trip to Auschwitz, which I'm not really going to go into but it was worth the trip and definitely somewhere where people should try to see at some stage.

Then sadly it was our last full day in Krakow but we made the most of it. We got up bright and early to try and get some sight seeing done before it rained again. We managed to make it as far as Wawel castle and cathedral before it started to rain. Along the way were some interesting sights. Krakow seems to love it's canal barges turned into restaurants. We decided to have a self guided audio tour of the cathedral. It's a pretty impressive place, and houses one huge bell...Sigismunds bell. As we left the cathedral it decided to once again start raining (but we're used to that nonsense) so we made the most of it and grabbed a pretzel and stood under the umbrella watching people climb up the hill to Wawel castle. Then hot chocolate was needed. One thing about Krakow....their hot chocolate is AMAZING.

We tried to fit in as much as we could so i think we manged to see pretty much most of the sights in the old town, we even managed to fit in some time to see the underground medieval town which is underneath the cloth hall. Sadly neither of us were really impressed with it but still, while in Krakow!!!

This was definitely one of the best little trips I've been on, Krakow has lots to do, see, eat, and drink. I think ill definitely go back. Have you ever been there? What was your favourite bit?

Winter nests

Red heart cushion, love cushion, cable knit cushion
Three hearts, 

As it steadily gets colder I am steadily getting more and more desperate to create a cosy nest that will be my bed. When i was in town getting some bits and bobs at the weekend i noticed that BHS has a sale on. So in i popped to have a peek around. I was not dissappointed. The sale is on nearly everything that is lovely. I nabbed a brushed cotton (or flannel as i would like to call it) red check duvet set and stared at all the lovely cushions and throws that they have to offer. This then started my spiral into winter heaven. Above are the four cushions that i like most that will now go with our new duvet set, maybe ill buy them one by one and eventually our bedroom will be a cosy paradise.....unlikely but one can wish!
Do you have a need to snap up cosy homewares the second you see them??

Casting on a new hobby

So my updates have gradually ground to a halt....can you tell uni has started back?

Luckily this term has started gently, no major stresses at the moment and i think i can say that i am fairly focused with regards to work load.....well kind of! Despite this autumn has come and as usual a cold has too, i don't know what it is but i can never avoid getting a cold no matter how hard i try. Luckily an unlimited broadband and lovely film streaming service has kept me happy when i get back in the evenings. I've also started a knitting project.

From my previous post on dress making you can kind of gather that i like making things for myself, i think it may be something that has diffused from my mum to me, as she generally says "i can make that for you" whenever we see a nice woolly jumper/ cardi in shops, although in the end she never does.....real life gets in the way! I do however like knitting, i don't enjoy it. I'm nowhere near the stage of skill where i can say i enjoy it. I have to focus VERY carefully on what I'm doing to be able to ensure that I'm doing the right stitches. I have however made a few things in my lifetime, snowmen, santas (all when i was in primary school when I'm pretty sure my mum knit most of it) and a scarf. The scarf i knitted two years ago and has it definitely been something I've been proud of. It took me three months (told you i was unskilled), and has some nice things about it. It's teal and mustard (nice autumnal colours) and has cool a cool cable pattern running through it.

Now however i want to up my game, i want to be able to knit more. BHS has such nice woollen blankets at the moment and all i can do to stop myself from buying them is be dragged away by Adam. So i have decided that i will slowly make my way to blanket making one step at a time. The first step was to knit something, from start to finish, all by myself. No help. at. all.

I decided i wanted to do this while i was at home and dragged out all the knitting paraphernalia that is there. Sadly there wasn't any patterns for knitted hats like i wanted but i did find a pattern book that has patterns for trivial things, like tea cosys, mobiles, etc. I decided to make a tea cosy and voila...here it is!

It seems to sit nicely in with the rest of my tea time shelf....it has to, there's nowhere else for the teapot to live!

I did a bit of a silly thing when i was making it though and on one of the sides i left out two rows which means that when i sewed it up together one side is longer than the other and it now sits in a funny way on the teapot....but who can tell? It does it's job well and i can say that i was able to knit something from start to finish completely by myself.....oh and a tiny bit of you tube to work out how to 'sew it off'!

Is anyone else knitting or is it just me?

Autum footwear

Leather Aztec ankle boots
Brown lace up brogues
Tan buckle strap
Tan cut out boots
Grey cross over strap

For some reason it seems to be a cold Autumn at the moment, in that I'm not even entertaining the idea of wearing pumps at the moment which i normally would at this time of year. I don't want to go straight into wearing full of winter boots so after a little browse around New Look's website I found these little gems.

I have previously posted the Aztec boots which they had in stock around April time but i never got and now I'm seriously contemplating it now that they have them again. I do love those cut out ones though...ah too much choice, what's a girl to do?

The only downside to all of these is that i haven't seen any of them in the shops and most of them seem to be the limited range, which i think i would have to buy online. As much as i love browsing online, i have only ever bought from there once and instantly regretted it with the item not being anything like what i thought it was and extremely small fitting. Since then i decided that i would only ever buy in person but i really do like these boots, I'm in a conundrum!

What's your online shopping experiences? Have you ever bought shoes from New Look online?

Relections on a weekend past

I am acutely aware that it is now Thursday, almost Friday which is then pretty much a new weekend so i may be a tad late talking about what i did LAST weekend but i enjoyed it so much that i wanted to give it a mention.

Last weekend myself and Adam went up to Leamington Spa for a food festival, thinking that it was nice to get away but that the festival itself may not be too great. OMG we were wrong. I literally ate enough free samples that i didn't feel hungry for lunch which if you ever heard my stomach growl during a 12:00 lecture you would realise how big that is.

It was pretty big with two big sections of tents along the perimeter and lots in the middle too. There was a variety of food based choices to make: watching cookery demos, eating free samples and talking to stall owners and buying their respective products, and then of course doing the rounds at all the mobile food units. There was a lot of them, in particular churros had a HUGE queue all day which unfortunately didn't mean that they were any good :(

My fav's of the day were definitely Snowdonia cheeses, we ate so many samples and bought two mini wheels too, and a really nice company called spicentice which had spice based (who would have guessed) products, including DELICIOUS chutneys. We bought a mango one and a sweet lime one, I can't wait to open those bad boys up and gobble them down!

The good thing about this particular food festival was that it was free entry, had a good choice of stalls and the products being sold were not astronomically expensive, in fact Adam worked it out that the cheese we buy in our supermarket works out that same price as what we bought at the festival but is in no way as tasty or satisfying to eat....win win for the food festival!!

The only bad thing is i never thought to take any pictures, i was having much too good a time eating!

This weekend is going to be less food based i feel although i do plan on a little baking day today/ tomorrow so maybe it will be a little foodie! Have a great weekend x

First attempt at dress making

My blog following started because i needed an online tutorial to confirm my suspicions on how to make a plastic bag holder. I then found a lovely blog detailing every step and thus giving me a solid grounding on how to make it instead of guessing the whole way through stitching, that lovely blog was Make It and Love It.

Upon discovering this blog i then needed to find more, i found such lovely blogs that focused more on dressmaking, one of which is Tilly and the Buttons. Since then i have read posts and looked at pictures, even created a board on Pintrest to pin things that i thought i would like to sew. There's a problem however, I'm not really very good at sewing.......oops!!

I went back to Ireland for two weeks while I'm still on my summer holidays from uni and found a lot of things that were lying in the back of my wardrobe that i was never going to wear anymore. It felt such a waste to just throw them out though, especially as i had never worn some of them. I had in particular a summer dress, which in fairness was only from Pennys (Primark) but i really like the pattern it had on it, the only problem was that the top of it was very ill fitting.

I decided that while at home with the availability of a sewing machine and some advice from my mum that i could turn it into a skirt. Thus began a lot of deliberating on how to go about it, what width elastic to use and how to keep it in place. I inspected all the skirts i could find to see how they had their elastic encased and then decided....it was time to cut the dress!!

I just chopped the top part off and removed a band that gathered the skirt in. To be honest after pinning the waistband in place it was kind of easy, and weirdly relaxing whizzing the sewing machine along to line of pins. That was until i saw that i didn't thread my bobin in properly and it hadn't been sewing properly the whole time. Well, i had to put back in all the pins again, take out my tape measure AGAIN and make sure the waistband was the same thickness the whole way around. I'm not going to lie, it tried my patience at this part but i got through it and finally had sewn the waistband into place. I then pushed the elastic through, sewed that into place with four lines to stop it from moving and twisting inside 'it's house'.

The fabric was a little see through though so i thought while i had the sewing machine out i would make a slip to go underneath, because I'm not very proficient at this sewing game a decided to not try and line the skirt with it but make a separate slip altogether. I had a dress that no longer fitted but had a lovely white cotton lining that i needed and so ripped the stitches out and got my slip fabric from there. I then made the slip pretty much the same way as i did the skirt but with a much thinner elastic. I will admit i was pretty worried that i would make the whole thing too tight on my stomach having two elasticated waistbands around it but so far it's been ok.

What i liked the most was taking two garments that i was never going to wear again and turned them into something usable and pretty. It's weirdly satisfying, maybe that's why sewing your own clothing is starting to take off again! 

Have you ever tried to re-purpose a garment of clothing? Do you wish you had better sewing skills too?

P.S sorry for the lack of pictures of the sewing process, that's not really my kind of thing since i am a scarily messy worker and so none of the pictures would have been very pleasant to look at. Also the pictures here are dubious, since i live in a teeny flat that lacks natural light, but hopefully you can see the nice pattern on the skirt!

Those dang blasted modern thingy majigs

I like a spot of baking every so often, more often when it's cold and I've been looking at all the lovely treats you see on pintrest.

A few months ago i tried to make cake pops, as seen all over the place! I followed this recipe to the T, it didn't work out that well and ended up being a very messy affair. All in all it took at least a day for the pops to set which wasn't enough, i needed to have them that day, so as you can imagine i continued on and covered them in chocolate in the hope that that would work. It sort of did, mostly didn't. They were crisp chocolate on the outside and mushy and soggy on the inside :(

I swore never to make them again, far too much hassle and not enough cakey goodness as a reward!

Excuse the mess, it's a messy procedure making mini doughnuts!

BUT then i was then given a cake pop maker as a birthday present. I had exams around the same time and have actually been preoccupied by other things but i took it out of the cupboard last week, looked at the little recipe book that came along with it and tested it out.

The book has a recipe for mini doughnuts, and who doesn't like the sound of that so i whipped up the batter and proceeded to 'bake' them.

This isn't really a review of the product itself but God it was so tedious doing it. The machine has six spaces for the 'pops' and it does cook them pretty quickly (about 5-6 mins) but because there's only 6 there is a lot of filling and refilling. I can't be doing with all that nonsense to tell you the truth.

I had a whole plate full of doughnuts at the end and sadly they didn't really meet my expectations, i was hoping for light and fluffy, i got stodgy instead.

The result!

I've cleaned and packed it away and think ill be sticking to the good old bun tray instead, after all if people have enjoyed baking this way for so long why mess with it?

Have you ever tried some 'innovative' products that didn't really make life easier? Or do you have a machine that you couldn't live without in the kitchen?

When i was small one of my favourite things to do in September time was walk along the road and fields with my mammy and an ice cream tub all in the aim of getting as many blackberries as possible.

With all this heat we've been getting in the past few weeks it seems that these bad boys are ripening up rather quickly, so with that in mind i've been having a little n on pintrest for some inspiration of what to do with all of my foraged fruit.

Here are some of my favs:

Blackberry Margarita

Blackberrie Smoothie

Blackberry crisp

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Catch up on Life: Adventurous bike rides

Once again I'm not quite so quick at getting around to writing blog posts. I'd like to say it's because I'm massively rushed off my feet but that's not really the case, although I am kinda busy.



Life must go on despite the other 'things' that are happening though and so I'm going to tell you about my newly acquired friend Denise, my second hand bike.

Our main road has been closed and remains closed all summer, stopping the buses and cutting us off from the easy ways to get to places locally. Since about Christmas time i have been hoping i could get a bike but there was a worry that we had no where to store them if we got them, then we found a secret nook where we could chain them up and Ta Dah we could start looking for bikes.

So a couple of weekends ago myself and the boyfriend decided we would grab the chance and get some second hand bikes from the local bike shop, in the end we had to slightly overstep our budget but it was still a pretty good deal and it gave us the chance to tell all the family that we had spent our birthday monies on something specific and give our business to a local, independent shop with excellent customer service instead of the chain bike stores.

That weekend we cycled a little bit, i completely forgot how tough it can be when you're not used to it!

Old and new contrast

Then we did a little biking adventure, from Greenwich along the Thames to the Thames Barrier, it was so much fun, it's a cycling and walking path the whole way and was such a good way to spend the scorching hot Saturday it was without feeling too hot and bothered. Of course there were multiple stops for hydration, and picture taking but what was most surprising was what a stark contrast that side of the Thames is to Canary Wharf, directly opposite!!

The Thames Barrier

Interesting Sculpture at the Emirates Air- Line

 It was such a good way to see that part of London, i would definitly suggest it to anyone who wants to get out for a couple of hours, even if you don't have a bike, it has some lovely areas with benches to stop and catch you're breath if you fancied walking it.






Since then we have been discovering our area more locally and finding out that there's a lovely cycle path from our local park all the way along the railway track to New Beckenham. We haven't quite gone that far yet but it's a nice way to get out after work and enjoy the bright evenings.

How have you been enjoying the chance to get out and about in this amazing weather?

A day for inspection

I may or may not have said what i do, who i am, why i'm here. I am a full time postgraduate student, in a course that is described as 'full on', 'intense' 'hell'....the last one i added in myself....oops!!
 It is intense and it is full on, it's hell because there is always something that needs to be done, is due in, or something that I'm going to get examined on. Sadly the later is fastly approaching and instead of having the motivation to crack on with the work needed to do it I'm writing this....

I have been on placement for the last 6 weeks, 1 week after finishing a month or more of revision and the worst exams i may ever have come across. I'm a little bit drained to say the least but happily buzzing along like a bee to pollen. I'm on a misson. A misson to pass all these exams so i can get on and enjoy the summer, the sun, and what may possibly be 2 months of relaxation, craftiness, baking and crochet learning....fun right?

Now i don't want you to think i am entirely lazy, even though i confess that although i am a hard worker when needed, i am a lazy soul. I just don't like to feel pressure, stress or in a rush. That's why i get up a good hour before i have to leave the house in the morning because I'm too lazy to want to hurry up so i could get an extra 20 minutes in bed. BUT i have done the bulk of the work for this exam, session plans, a session, creation of a DVD (even if it wont play), and now, tonight i am faced with the task of repeatedly having to watch and listen to myself on video and make notes and create a presentation on it...ugh!

My laziness is not the only thing that has held me back from doing this so far. My casual and laid back manner has also interrupted my progress. Every time i think about starting i think to myself 'does it really need that much work, you know what you did and why, you like to talk in general, why prepare so far in advance?', well stupid brain you are not as laid back as you would like to think, no when it comes to it you're going to forget everything you need to say and get all shaky. Shaky does not lead to good marks.

I've got one more day of placement, three whole days to think about this exam and tonight to make a start on this presentation. Through writing all this down i have managed to get that ol' grey matter of mine thinking, getting used to self inspection and hopefully, ready to start this work.
Fingers crossed i don't bail out of it now!

Whats for lunch?

I'm not sure about everyone else but I spend too much time in my evening trying to think of what to have for lunch the next day. Usually my lunch consists of a sad, warm sandwich but lately I've been trying to come up with nicer choices. Flavoured couscous has been my recent lunchtime treat but last night I made a new pasta meal. I had some leftover so i decided to bring it with me for lunch......its was yum, both times, hot and cold! 

This is super easy to make, light, and full of veggies (although if i had some more they wouldn't have gone astray).

I had a rummage in the fridge for this recipe and had some red pepper and aubergine. Chop them up into chunks and put into an oven proof dish/ tray. Cover in olive oil and roast until soft, and slightly charred. Once the pasta has been cooked add the roasted veg to it, along with the lovely olive oil that's left in the pan (this really helps to keep it nice and moist then and when u eat it cold). Chop some sun dried tomatoes and add them in along with a couple of teaspoons of pesto, (i used 2 dessert spoons but i LOVE pesto). Mix it all up and serve with some fresh basil leaves. Enjoy.

What's your favourite re-heat lunch?

Life in fast mode

View from Glastonbury Tor

Life has been a little bit busy (by my standards) for the past few months, probably since April.

Lectures in Uni finished, I went back home to Ireland for a well deserved break, catch up with family, a wedding and some resting. Then my birthday sprang up and I got a super treat of afternoon tea in the Hilton....scrummy! Has anyone else found the 'ordering' of afternoon tea a bit tricky though???

Afternoon tea

Exams then dominated my life for well over a month, but a lovely break in Somerset was my post exam treat. We ventured to Glastonbury Tor, sampled lots of PROPER cider, had lots of fun at a country fair and best of all.....breathed in that lovely fresh air!

Back to London and I'm bang in the middle of clinical placements  but some more birthdays were celebrated, sun soaked up for a few days at least and now I'm in full summer mode even if it is raining most of the time!!










Here's a few pics into a glimpse of whats been going on

Spring has sprung

We're now the second week into April and finally we're seeing some signs of spring.

I'm not sure what it is, maybe it's the longer evenings that now mean I can have lovely long walks around the park, or if that rare and simple glimpse of sunshine is it, or it might just be that i'm heading home tomorrow for some Irish counrtyside air and looking forward to seeing daffodils everywhere and baby calves in the fields. Whatever reason it is, i finally feel like winter is over (even if the weather forecast says that there may be snow again).

The above picture is of my Easter buns. Usually Easter is a lovely bright morning and fresh, this year it snowed!! Regardless of that fact i went ahead and made some pastel coloured buns, and they were yummy.

The recipe is from a little book called "Cupcakes" by Susanna Tee.
It calls for:

4 oz butter/ margarine
4 oz caster sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 oz self-raising flour
1 oz cocoa.

Its pretty much the same as any recipe for buns with butter and sugar beaten together 'till light and fluffy, then gradually add the eggs and sift in the flour and cocoa powder together. Fold the flour cocoa mixture in and then spoon into cases.
A nice little trick my Mum has taught me is to use plain flour and baking powder instead of self-raising, that way you only ever need one flour in the cupboard. For every 8 oz of flour, 1 tsp of baking powder.

The icing is butter icing and calls for:
3 oz butter
6oz icing sugar
1 tbsp milk
2-3 drops vanilla
mini eggs

While mixing the icing mixture i realised i didn't have a piping bag, the last one i had riped. I made a makeshift bag which i have to say worked pretty well. I'll put a post on how to make it later on.
These are such quick little buns to make and tasty too.

I hope you're enjoying spring x

April's Lust list

Bag, Boots, Dress, and Jacket

This is my 'Lust list' (things that i would love to buy right now, but unfortunatly i just have to pretend).
I've been trying to find a nice day bag for a while now and this one looks like it could work a treat, nice colour too. The dress adds a nice fresh update to a winter wardrobe with the boots and jacket making sure i don't freeze to death while wearing it.

What have you been lusting over?

New blog on the block

Hi there,

I've decided to ditch my first blog (ask adam) and create a more personal one here. You may ask why?

Ask adam was originally to have snapshots of mine and my boyfriends life as we settled into out new home together, we've now been here nearly a year and although it really doesn't seem like that, i feel like i've outgrown the reason we set it up. Another reason being that Adam doesnt blog anymore, in fact i kind of took over with my baking and stuff, so i feel like having my own personal blog is more appropriate with things i love on it and a more suitable name.

I want to give you a little glimps into my name choice. I LOVE yellow. It's probably my favourite colour, altough i know many people would say purple if asked but i am drawn to anything yellow everywhere. It's fresh and reminds me of spring. The other part, raindrops is what i associate with a lot of the time. Ireland, where im from, has an endless supply of them, i also just like the thought of yellow raindrops!

Anyway, hopefully i will manage to post more often here now that it's more personal, although i cant promise anything as uni tends to take over my life with essays so i generally hate the thought of sitting down at a computer when i dont have to!

I hope you enjoy my upcoming, future musings,
Love Chloe
