Day Out in Manchester

My mate Claire and I had a potter around Manchester on Friday.
We checked out the filming of Captain America around Dale St but unfortunately didn't spot any stars and was kept moving along by the security staff - was quite exciting though.

We then mooched about the Northern Quarter, had a drink in the Crown&Kettle, checked out some groovy shops and then finally hit Walrus for 2 for 1 cocktails and some grub. It was a top day out.

In the Kitchen

Have decided to make two cakes a month (ideal opportunity when Sal runs the boys back home). So after Sal's marvellous birthday cake success, I attempted a dandelion and burdock cake today and it looks great.
Yet to taste it though...






Over the weekend I also picked up Nigella's latest offering. Some fab looking stuff in here and should make deciding what to have for dinner over the coming weeks a little easier.

Bunting is Up

Super pleased with my bunting, and it is so easy to do. Do need to make more however, as it doesn't stretch all the way over my 3 fence panels at the back of the garden.

Makes me smile everytime I see it though...
