Sometimes you just want vanilla cake and you want it to be pretty.
I kept seeing rose covered cakes on pinterest and finally tried it myself.
If you want to impress someone, this is an easy way to do it.
Want to know the secret?
It's just a simple swirl in reverse!
Swirl from the middle out and you get a perfect rose every time.
The London street sign is an icon we all know and love. I remember when I first moved to London looking in my A-Z to see if there was a street with my surname.
There is. Oh, how I wanted it for myself!
Luckily, you no longer need to do anything illegal to have your very own street sign. You just need the money!
Thanks to TFL's new service, it doesn't even matter if your name is a real street or not. Best of all, these are real genuine signs made by the same people who make the ones you see all over London.
If trains are more your thing, they even offer railway signs.
Aren't they amazing?
For you fellow expats, these would be great souvenirs to remind you of your time spent in this glorious city.

The first reason I bought this book is because it was a Kindle deal of a day. The second was because it sounded slightly Outlander-esque.
I was a bit wary due to the second reason and while at times it was a little close to Outlander due to the time period involved, it ended up being a good choice. One scene in particular managed to make tears stream down my face. If you like historical fiction with a modern tale woven into the story, this one is for you.
You'll have to excuse my lack of posts but I've been in the land of the free enjoying my time outdoors and not in front of the computer in gray ol' England. I've arrived back in London to be swamped at work and realised it's impossible to get caught up at home when you're working full time. My mountain of laundry seems to be growing rather than shrinking and I may or may not have just taken down the Chistmas decorations this past weekend.
Hope to be back to regularly scheduled posting soon!
and to all a good night!

These are the things I loved in November:
Seriously can't get enough.
I just couldn't help turning them on while cooking Thanksgiving dinner. My taste is rather eclectic- from Celine to Elvis to Sinatra, I love them all.
...and that's all I got!
Being sick has thrown me for a loop and wasn't a great way to start December so I'm not feeling the November love at this moment.
