Summer sailed by in a blur, so freaking busy! I have neglected my blog somewhat, and so much has happened I won't bore you all with my whole summer story, but I can definitely say it has been eventful: NYC, midnight forest hikes, campfires, beer on the beach, rainy Lake District, Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games, fine wine and dining in France, Proms in the Park, a Murder Mystery Party and a fair bit of Beat Generation research to boot!!
Here is a quick snap shot.....

Lithuanian fun!
As well as working at a hotel for some much needed dollar!! I have however, obviously,found time to bake. These are two new creations: Damson jam, oat and vanilla slices and almond cupcakes with jam, butter icing and a syrup glaze.....

With a week or so left of my holiday I am cramming in some dissertation reading but also trying to spend some chilled time sketching before I get snowed under with work!!
A friend messaged me about a 'Halloweenzine' that is looking for pieces of art, costumes, cakes, well anything Halloween related so I had a go at some Halloween inspired sketches.....
These have got me even more excited for the coming month - even though just the thought of third year is terrifying me!!
