Flowers, animals, fashion, photos, cupcakes, scenery, space, patterns, design, craft, music, drawings... I like all the pretty things. And I think those things are all around you if you just open your pretty eyes and see. Prettiness isn't superficial or childish; it's an intangible essence that so many people, places and things in life just have.

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
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!
