The Latest
We’ve got an election coming up in UK. I exercised my precious right to vote the other day and I’m urging all my fellow Brits to do the same!
What’s New On The Blog
Christmas Pudding is a big part of a British Christmas, and one of our holiday celebration ideas is to make a traditional Christmas pudding. We use my husband’s Grandmother’s recipe. Christmas pudding is generally made on Stir Up Sunday, which was 25 November this year.
I also discussed a kinder way to become your healthiest and strongest physical self.
In Why Women Need To Ditch The Scales I discuss why I feel it’s time we gave up on judging ourselves by a random number – and how I lost 4 dress sizes adn and maintained the loss without getting weighed regularly.
Plus, I’m excited to share more of our travels!
Visiting Magnolia Market at The Silos in Waco was an unexpected pleasure. Join me as I share our recent visit as well as tips to help you make the most of it if you go too!
Thank you so much to you all for visiting and sharing.

Thank you for sharing, Lauren!
April, I did read your Magnolia Market post email and isn’t it a wonderful place? I think I have stopped by four times now (just was there in June picking up a few things) on my way down to visit my daughter in Austin (Waco is 2 hours south of Denton, TX and 2 hours north of Austin). Works out perfectly for a pitstop and a little shopping… ;D Love that dining table inside the bakery!!!
Will have to check out your pudding post. I’d like to try and make one. They are steamed, aren’t they? Will get over and visit more this week while I am off work.
Have a lovely week and from across the Pond, Happy Thanksgiving!
Hugs,
Barb 🙂
p.s. Linked up #113 ~ my interpretation of a Pinterest Challenge Hot Cocoa Bar.
It really is lovely, isn’t it, Barb? How wonderful that you live relatively close to Waco and that Magnolia is on route to your daughter! I’m a little bit envious that you can visit through the seasons. I bet it is lovely for Christmas!!
The puddings are steamed, and although it’s a day long project, it’s definitely worth the effort 🙂
We are celebrating Thanksgiving with our American friend and her family on Sunday and I can’t wait! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours too, Barb.
Hugs,
April 🙂
PS – I haven’t seen the hot cocoa bars yet – I look forward to visiting your post!
April, thank you for hosting. Your Aunt Dorothy’s squares look fabulous! Must check them out soon (I’m a bit under the weather today).
I hope you are feeling better, Jean! Thank you for the compliment!
