I like homemade flapjacks

My mum has this great old little cookbook (that's now falling to bits!) that she and I often used to make yummy treats from - one of my favourite was flapjacks. I want to share this simple recipe with you!

4 Step Flapjacks

You will need:
1 teaspoon of golden syrup
4oz / 115g of margarine
4oz / 115g of sugar
2oz / 57g of oats
2oz / 57g of self-raising flour
3oz / 85g of crushed cornflakes

Mixing bowl
Wooden spoon
Saucepan
Glass bowl
Scales
Teaspoon
Greased baking tray

Step 1.

Melt the marg and syrup together, being careful not to overheat. A good way to do this is putting the ingredients in a glass (Pyrex) bowl above simmering water.

Step 2.

Mix the crushed cornflakes, flour, oats, and sugar in a bowl.

Step 3.

Mix together the melted mixture and the dry ingredients and place in a well greased tin.

Step 4.

Bake in a moderately hot oven (gas mark 5) for 15 to 20 minutes, until just firm. Cut into fingers whilst still hot, leave to cool in tin then enjoy!

I like my cat, Florence

This is my cat Florence. We think she's some sort of Siberian Forest Cat mix. She's really fluffy and I think she's beautiful.

I really like all animals and cats are one of my favourites. There's a lot to love about cats.   

Florence, beautiful though she is, is a constant source of entertainment thanks to her spoilt attitude and 'dim nature', shall we say!

(She won't sit with you unless she chooses to, if you disturb her she'll give you a soft whack and she is the queen bee of the pets (and maybe the humans?)






She's also a bit stupid so there's a lot of funny stories about her. Example: last week she saw a sparrow land on some pond weed so jumped in the pond herself. She was not impressed with being wet!)

She will sleep anywhere and everywhere (and every-how, too!)

As long she's warm, she's happy!

And that is my little, fluffy cat, Florence (or Flo, Fluffence, Princess, Floflo etc. etc.)

She's pretty.

I like farm animals

In the green fields of Devon you'll find lots of farm animals & I really like them. They add character to the place & remind you that there's people that live off the land & feed the country.

 Plus some of them are really cute. This little lamb is called Bluebell and is a Blue Texel. She was very friendly.

I like warm pastel colours

This is an outfit I made on ASOS Fashion Finder (I'm 'Pudding and Pie'). I love how the pastel colours are so warm and the three unlikely shades go so well together. 


I tired to make a modern twist on the retro, rockabilly style, which I really like. It's so cool and perfect for the summer! However, I much prefer the rockabilly style in pastel shades rather than the typical bright red, blue and black. 


The outfit name, Never Let Me Go, and the words featured are lyrics from an Elvis Presley song popular in the 50s, Love Me Tender. 


Don't you just love the shorts?!

I like pink roses

These beautiful flowers were given to me on my 18th birthday by one of my best friends. 

In this photo they can last forever.

Pleased to meet you...

Sooo, my first blog post! I've been meaning to set up a blog for ages but didn't know if I really understood it or had stuff other people would be interested in but I really do like pretty things and I want to share those things with people who also like pretty things :) 


Pretty things to come include photos, fashion, drawings and more.

I hope everyone has a lovely Jubilee Weekend and remember to always take the time to see the pretty things in life...
