A general update.
Hello.
I do apologise for only photo a day updates lately. I started a new job 6 weeks ago and have been very busy. I am really enjoying my new job which is great.
I have just signed up for 2 half marathons and paid for my London Marathon ill/injured place so am going to try and run on a regular basis. My gym membership has just expired as I no longer work for the gym company. I am going to try over the summer to go for bike rides and run outside to save money.
I have the Fleetly app on my phone so have joined lots of challenges which are great for motivation.
This weekend was the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Yesterday we had a barbecue to celebrate which was fun. I have watched the other festivities on tv but I kind of wish I had gone to one of the events. If not the national than a local one. I have decided next time there is something big on I will go.
This week I don't have many plans except making macarons for the first time on Saturday. If anyone has any tips please do share them. I will probably also be doing the odd garden job. I am growing lots of fruit and veg this year :)
Have a good week everyone.

The chocolate raspberry brownies I made from this months Good Food Magazine before they were baked. My friend kindly invited me to Easter lunch so I offered to make these for pudding.

I made hot cross buns today from the Paul Hollywood recipe in this months Good Food Magazine. I checked them earlier than the recommended time and good job I did as they were almost burned. I don't actually like sultanas but decided to try one of the buns still warm from the oven and with butter. Oh my gosh they are delicious.
Here's a picture of some of them.

The coffee cake I made that fell apart coming out of the tin. I managed to rescue it when I decorated it though.

My first attempt at making chocolate buttons. Think I needed to put slightly less choc in first batch as they overflowed slightly causing messy edges.
These are to go on top of the chocolate and butterscotch cupcakes I am currently making.

Chocolate chunk pecan cookies. Rather gianter than I anticipated and funny shaped where a lot of them ran into each other. Sure they'll taste yum.

My friend Kimberley invited me over for lunch and to have a go at baking florentines. Here she is 'cleaning out' the bowl from the melted chocolate :-)
