Searched

Time for another lazy blogger post! According to my sources, these are the most searched terms for new readers...

I love Bimba & Lola.

When I discovered the brand I was told there would be a London store but as of yet no updates. *fingers crossed*

Milanese di pollo is delicious and easy.

Now I want to go to Carluccio's.

My recipe for mint chocolate cupcakes is the best.

If you love mint & chocolate give them a try.

 

In other blog news, I added a search function on my blog (on the left) which should make it easier if anyone is looking for something specific. If I would have known it could be done with the click of a button I would have done it a long time ago! 

I am Marina Script

 

What typeface are you?

Discovered on Little Red Buttons

Fashion Friday- WWEPW Edition

   

What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear?

an award for me?!

 

Thank you to Liane from Movement for nominating me for this award! 

The Rules for the award are:

1. Thank the person who gave you this award – see above

2. Share 7 things about yourself

• I love to read and can easily read a book in a day. When I was little I can clearly remember my mom saying she wasn't going to buy me anymore because I read them too fast.
• I wish I was an author. I wrote my first "book" when I was like eight and basically it was a Judy Bloom book rewritten with a new story.
• I am not a fan of roses. I only like garden roses and that is because they remind me of peonies.
• I wish I could speak Italian. Problem is I don't have an ear for foreign languages. I also can't roll my r. 
• I am not a fan of the heat but still want to travel to places like Mauritius and the Maldives. Go figure, right? 
• I love antiques stores. Seriously makes me happy to stumble upon a good one with reasonable prices which is rare around these parts.
• I am addicted to my soaps- I think I must have been watching Days of our Lives for at least twenty years. (I am not a fan of the UK ones at all- too depressing!)

I'm supposed to nominate others for this award but I think everyone is blogland I know has already been nominated, so feel free to self nominate!

new look

I was getting a bit bored of all the grey on my blog when it's so grey outside. A change was in order so I've lightened things up a bit. If you've stopped by this weekend you will have seen the different changes I've been trying out. I've changed the background from turquoise to purple to green and so on. I'll probably change it again before the week is up! 

I would really love to have a more graphic background, but can't figure out how to do it. Anyone a typepad pro?

aka the lazy bloggers post!

Let's see what searches have brought people here...

 

biggest jubblies? Well thank you, I think!

 

I have no idea about Joan London's tortilla soup. 

I think mine is good.

 

Yes, let's move to Tetbury. It's so charming.

 

I love Carluccio's chicken. Here I make my own version.

 

Shipton Mill makes cake flour. Enough said.

 

Lovely jubbly cupcakes. I love cupcakes. 

Maybe I should start my own bakery.

happy blogiversary!

1 year & 211 posts later and I am still here! 

To honour the occasion, I used the option on wordle to upload my blog and here is the result:

Thanks to everyone for reading and your comments over the past year. Here's to many more! xx
