This weekend, I felt the urge to bake.
I can’t remember the last time I made a cake or a batch of cookies.
These ones are unbelievably good so naturally, I wanted to share with you all.

The Sunday Post #29
I realise that my regular Sunday post is multiple hours late.
I may have slept in, not written the post in advance and completely forgotten.
But that’s life for you.
Nevertheless, I’m here typing away whilst the Mr has kindly gone to the shop so I can make some Tanya Burr cookies.
I’ll be honest, this week has been rather shit. I’ve been in a massive grump because of that time of month and it hasn’t been pleasant. But I’ve got on the week and surprisingly, it’s gone quite quick.
I’m looking forward to a 3 day working week. You’ll see why in next week’s post.

Sophie Winter lives in a self-imposed cocoon – she’s a single, 31-year-old translator who works from home in her one-bedroom flat. This isn’t really the life she dreamed of, but then Sophie stopped believing in dreams when she was a teenager and tragedy struck her family. So, to be safe, she keeps everyone at arm’s length. Sophie understands she has a problem, but recognising it and knowing how to fix it are two entirely different things. One night a serious fire breaks out in the flat below hers. Sophie is trapped in the burning building until a passer-by, Ben, sees her and rescues her.
How I Want My Blog To Be
I’m currently in a full time job which I love. The marketing team are lovely, I’ve settled in nicely and I get into the office at 8am every day so I can have the chance to read.
But my blog is suffering.
That’s a sentence I never thought I’d say.
I’ve been blogging since 2nd July 2012 and I’ve always had content, even when I was travelling but things have changed.
The opportunities have stopped rolling in, my ideas have dried up and I’m finding myself comparing my blog to others.

I’m going to start this post on an ultimate high:
I PASSED MY THEORY TEST!
*throws confetti*
This week has gone by in a complete blur but with the aid of my snazzy new iPhone 7 Plus, I’ve managed to capture quite a few photos for both my blog and Instagram.

In the last days before her death, Nel called her sister. Jules didn’t pick up the phone, ignoring her plea for help. Now Nel is dead. They say she jumped. And Jules has been dragged back to the one place she hoped she had escaped for good, to care for the teenage girl her sister left behind. But Jules is afraid. So afraid. Of her long-buried memories, of the old Mill House, of knowing that Nel would never have jumped. And most of all she’s afraid of the water, and the place they call the Drowning Pool…

Hello Autumn, we didn’t expect you so flipping early!
It’s supposed to be Summer here in the UK but since the heat wave buggered off, we’ve had mountains of rain as well as the occasional thunderstorm.

I have no blog motivation.
I have no content ideas, no tweets scheduled and honestly, juggling a blog with a full time job is a lot harder than I thought it’d be.
I thought I’d have the energy once I’m home from work, but all I want to do is see the Mr, eat good food and fall asleep at 9pm (which I have been doing).
There’s a lot going on behind the scenes and despite these Sunday post’s being created for the weekly highlights, they’ve become quite the “catch up with me” posts.
Perhaps I should write one of those?
Travelling with Knomo
Travelling with a laptop can be a bit of a nightmare.
It’s become custom to take your laptop on board with you; either to work, watch a film or simply because you don’t want it being damaged in your suitcase.
When Knomo got in touch with me about their Copenhagen briefcase, I knew it would be perfect for my laptop to travel with.
The Sunday Post #25
This week has been a blur.
An emotional blur.
I haven’t cried this much since my late teens.
I’m now twenty-six and it’s very rare that I have emotional outbursts but this week has pushed me over the edge.
