I was so happy that the new series started back on Netflix this week.  I started watching this tv show one day out of curiosity, while my husband was out on a bike ride.  I quickly got hooked after a few episodes.  Then he decided to join in watching with me, also got hooked and ended up having to go back to watch from the start!  It’s just the best mix of crazy storyline, laugh-out-loud moments and fabulous characters (I think Janet is my fave).  Who knew a series about Philosophy could be so fun! If you’ve never watched it, what the fork are you waiting for?

I’ve just finished this book and it’s the most gorgeous heart-warming story I’ve read in a long time.  It’s the story of Satoru and his cat Nana.  It explores the themes of friendship, family and belonging.  My brain was really frazzled this week and this book was just the perfect antidote to soothe me.  

Decided to treat myself to these colourful roses on Friday to reward myself after a difficult week.

My husband brought back all these amazing conkers for me.  He collected them whilst out on a bike ride.  They are just the epitome of autumn for me and I like to think they keep away the spiders so I scatter them all over the house!

Nothing relaxes and grounds me quite like a spot of baking.  I got out of the habit of it in summer.  With the heatwave we had here in the UK the thought of having the oven on was just too much!  So since the weather has turned cooler I’ve been more inspired to get my bake on.  This week I had a go at making these Black Cherry and Coconut Bakewell Slices (recipe from Olive magazine).  For a 1st attempt I think they turned out pretty good.  My husband is a big cherry fan so am sure I’ll be making this one again.
