It’s been a busy weekend for us, but most of our activities seemed to involve eating and drinking! We just thought we’d post a few photos of our creations and discoveries.
In a fit of excitement over the return of The Great British Bake Off (10 more sleeps!), we baked some delicious blueberry muffins from a classic Mary Berry recipe. Bezza never disappoints, and these muffins were a doddle to knock up and absolutely delicious. Traditionally served for breakfast but perfect any time with a good cup of tea (we made Irish Breakfast – a bit stronger than English Breakfast. Thanks Ireland!).
Bristol has some amazing green spaces, and it’s great to see some covered in wild flowers – perfect for bees and butterflies! This photo was taken in Castle Park in central Bristol.
I went for a bike ride down to Chew Valley reservoir on Sunday morning and when I got back this delicious macaron was waiting for me! Bird had picked it up after ballet from Crumpet Cakes at the Tobacco Factory Market. This one was espresso flavoured, we also had lemon and a stunning raspberry and white chocolate.
Finally it would be a crime to forget about the Bristol Balloon Fiesta. It’s been on since Thursday and twice a day we have had a multitude of balloons flying over our house. Here’s a snap of our favourite!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

I love the balloon! I hope you had a lovely weekend….those blueberry muffins look epic 🙂
They were pretty epic, so stuffed with blueberries that it was like jam in the middle! Good old Mary, never a dud recipe.
