Weekend Fun in E2 (Columbia Road)

A little group of us took a trip to see the wonders of Columbia Road in East London - lead by our intrepid expert on such matters, Charlotte:


It was raining lots, so we had to bring our enormous umbrellas (there was some umbrella clashing going on in the flower market - a few eyes were poked - it wasn't pretty!):

This shop was very special (as demonstrated by Charlotte, with a confused look from Sister Sue):
Don't worry - I DID give them some money before I took the photo - these guys were ace!

Another wonderous shop!

The beginnings of the Flower Market and Sue's matching umbrella!




A sad photo in the midst of all these cheery flowers - Anna insisted I took this one, so here it is. I have entitled it: Poor Bear

Yummy mini cupcakes!


More sweet treats - the magnificent macaroons!

I also wanted to share this as I'm very excited about it - I planted lots of veggies and more strawberries on Bank Holiday Monday (dodging the showers)! Here we have carrots, onions, rocket, chives, thyme and mint...

And our new patch, where courgettes, sugar snap peas and spring onions are merrily growing (and my shadow)!

Oh, and our lilac tree is blossoming - beautiful!

Fun in the Sun(shine)

This weekend was SO beautiful and sunny I had to celebrate by making Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes for the various picnics and BBQ's we were going to...


I also sat in the sun to make my new 'Bunny Bear' character...
Listening to stories on my DAB...

Smelling the pretty flowers...
Using my great grandmothers sewing box...

With Bert Bear keeping me company (and he is very curious about his new friend I'm making!)

Lovely times in the sun! Watch this space to meet my new bunny bear! She's not going to be perfect as this is the first time I have made a bunny, but I'm hoping you'll like her!

Springtime Vibes!

This weekend had a very distinct spring-time feel to it - and to confirm it, the baby daffodils on my window sill blossomed...



To celebrate the spring vibe, I made some Hummingbird Bakery cupcakes for friends! I'm still learning about the art of baking, so am hoping I'll keep improving!

Sausage & Mash (S&M) Shop, Spitalfields

A great place to eat, get decor inspiration and matches my nails! Plus they gave me a free mug as its my birthday soon! What more could you ask for?
