Snapshots from my week

October 3, 2014 By Kerry Cooks 5 Comments

Happy Friday! It’s another beautiful, mild and sunny autumn day here in Nottingham! Since I didn’t bring you a snapshots from my week post last week (I showed you how to put on a three course dinner party instead!), we’ve got photo’s from the last couple of weeks in today’s post! Oddly, since SO much has been happening, I haven’t taken pictures of much, so it’s mainly cats, and cake!

 My friend Erin invited us over for Afternoon tea (and a piano recietal!). She made the most amazing eight strand plait bread (from Bake-Off!), as well as delicious chocolate fudge – it’s a similar recipe to the one I like making, which you just make by melting lots of chocolate and stirring in condensed milk.

I baked a VIVID Halloween layer cake to take along – I’ll bring you guys the recipe soon!

And we watched in amazement as her little boy Finley walked around the room (with his push-along cart!).

 The rest of my time can be summed up by saying – baking! I’ve now moved on from Halloween to CHRISTMAS! Hurrah! I know it’s still October but I’m always super excited for Christmas, and I think I’ve waited long enough…

And cats! No, I didn’t buy this onesie, it was for children. Part of me is very sad about that.

Good news on the cat front – Milo has decided he DOES want to be a nice big brother and has started playing with, and even grooming the kittens! We’re over the moon that it all seems to be working out so well.

 And the rest of my time has been spent nibbling on leftover macarons from Lidl, and another new variety of Dairy Milk (it must be a day ending in y!) – Chips Ahoy. It’s okaaay – the Oreo version is still way better than anything else. But as ever, don’t look at the ingredients list, this ain’t real food!

This weekend I’m SUPER excited to watch my good friend Emma get married tomorrow! The scrabble cookies you can see up above are her wedding favours – personalised for each guest! I’ll post some better pictures of them on my instagram tomorrow once the guests have seen them.

What are you up to this weekend?

    I’m happy to see your ‘snapshots’ post back this week πŸ™‚ I always enjoy looking through your weekly photos. I know I’ve said this before, but you lead such a charmed life πŸ™‚ I wish we could be friends in ‘real life’ – I think we’d have a lot in common!

    Also – those pistachio/berry cookies look delicious! Recipe? I didn’t realize that October was National Cookie Month here in the U.S. πŸ˜€

      Thanks Di – It’s not going anywhere, I just ran out of time last week!
      That’s such a sweet thing to say – thank you! It’s funny how we sometimes think that about other people but don’t realise that our own lives are pretty great πŸ™‚ Being thankful for what I have is definitely something to work on.

      I wish we could be friends in real life too – especially to meet your little girl (when she gets here!)

      The cookies are going to be up for a Christmas post – they’re cranberry and pistachio with spices. I used this recipe and added white pistachio, cinnamon and ginger too, and left out the nutella. It worked really well, so I’d recommend the recipe!
