I am very new to all this blog malarkey ~ and as it is probably very clear I love reading everyone else's blog but can't quite muster the energy to write my own sometimes. But I was joyous all day yesterday when I discovered I had a follower and comments! Wow. But unfortunately couldn't figure out how to reply to the comments (duh!) and when I did try it was unsuccessful - so instead a warm welcome to Saving for Travel and a reply to your question: Yes it was Malteasers and the recipe is a Nigella one from Feast (I think).
Holidays have been scooting by and I have to stop myself and reassess my list of goals and aims for this holiday and then get quite horrified to see how little I have done. But it's no good dwelling on the negative so instead let me share what we have achieved!
We bought a folding camper on ebay and headed off to North Devon for a camping holiday! We feel very honored now that we have 'upgraded' from a lowly tent! And I am thrilled NOT to be sleeping on the floor anymore! Yipeeee.
And we got to use the camping blanket! With not a sleeping bag in sight ~ Ah Bliss!!
It was a lovely time for me to spend with all the family and get some more granny squares done for the throw to go in the camper - more details to follow!
Last night we spent an very enjoyable evening with friends in Bristol watching a production of Treasure Island ~ Amazing! We all thought it was brilliant, hugely entertaining and spent a leisurely walk back to the car park with lots of chatter and a few, ' ooooh Arrr's!' being heard reverberating around the empty streets! Great night out!
As we head towards September and inevitably Autumn, my thoughts are turning towards the issue of money and our lifestyle. I have been very inspired by a fellow blogger whose quest to cut debt and live a simple life has woken something up in me and now I am determined to follow some of her ideas and implement them in our lives. Watch this space!
But for now I must go and catch up on my weekend jobs that I missed!!
