AROUND HERE.

The sun is shining. Perfect weather for mini golf and food with friends.

Excited to be able to send tiny parcels to a future tiny person.

This view. I will never get tired of it.

FIVE MINUTE CRAFTS - DIY BUTTON MAGNETS.

I love these d.i.y. button magnets. They really brightened up my fridge and only took five minutes to make.

Things you'll need.

1. Magnets.

2. Pretty buttons, glass beads and any other embellishments you've got lying around.

3. Glue. I used a glue gun but I'm sure any strong glue would do the trick.

These really are so simple. All you have to do is glue your magnet to the back of your button, let it dry and be careful not to get glue all over the place. Easy, right?

A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS.

I wanted to start sharing some of my favourite things. Tea and croissants are at the top of the list. A perfect start to any day.

Old polaroids found lurking in the back of a wardrobe. All stacked and neatly labelled.

BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP LOAF.

It's still hit and miss with the weather around here. Three glorious sunny days were followed by a grey and drizzly sunday so comfort food was needed. Enter this amazing chocolate chip banana cake. I think I ate most of this myself and I definitely recommend it the next day accompanied by a cup of tea and smothered in butter. Perfect.

Ingredients.

250g plain flour

2 teaspoons of baking powder

125g unsalted butter (softened)

2 eggs

225g caster sugar

4 mashed bananas

100g chocolate chips (I used some chopped up Cadbury's Whole Nut)

1. Preheat the oven to 190c or gas 5.

2. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. In a separate bowl mix the butter, eggs, sugar, bananas and chocolate together. Fold this mixture into the dry ingredients.

3. Pour into a loaf tin and bake for at least an hour and 15 mins. Slice when cool
