Chocolate, cherry & almond wreath recipe

Bread week. I may have mentioned before, but I hate bread week. Me and bread making just do not mix. Nevertheless, I joined in anyway as I want to try and do every week this year! During the show on Wednesday, I decided I must be crazy as I was actually considering doing the technical for the third week in a row. But then chocolate bread won me over so I went with the signature. I’ve never really made bread from my own recipe so I went searching my old friend Mr Google and came across Paul Hollywood’s chocolate and cherry …

Updated on

I mentioned in my last DryNites ConfidentNites post that some of my fellow ambassadors and I were very lucky to be invited along to a sleep retreat at the amazing Alexander House Hotel & Utopia Spa. We were welcomed with a beautiful lunch and then sat down to listen to the three ConfidentNites experts give us some top tips to help on our child’s bedwetting journey.

I ruled out the showstopper immediately though, I couldn’t be bothered with the fuss of a biscuit story construction! After last week’s bake though, I’m surprised I was still considering doing another technical. After watching the show, I did decide on the technical again – I must be mad!

Our jewellery loves

As a teen I used to wear a watch all of the time, I felt lost without one. And then for some reason I just stopped, and it’s only recently I have started wearing one again. Whereas The Husband, he always wears a watch so he owns more than me! I do own a lot of jewellery, though I am more of a kitsch jewellery kind of person. Although sometimes, it’s nice to wear something more luxury and delicate, for special occasions for example. I’m sure everybody has a piece of jewellery that is their favourite. The Husband bought me a …
