An unexpected and rare snow day in London today so the kids and I had the chance to build their first ever snowman. After four years of them singing along to ‘Frozen’, it was about time! It’s been another festive week for us.

Santa Claus is (or are?!) Coming to Town
What’s the collective noun for a group of Father Christmases / Santa Clauses / St Nicholases, as we met about 2,000 of them this morning?! A merriment perhaps? This week couldn’t have felt more festive if it tried!
Rainbow Bright
As usually happens in the run up to Christmas, baking has taken over building work. I don’t mind at all as kitchens are nice and warm and I’ve been having lots of fun too.
Friendship & Remembrance
Remembrance Sunday is always taken seriously in our house. A time to reflect on our own families’ histories and how much we have to be grateful for. It’s also been a week of catching-up with my awesome Bake Off buddies and travelling thousands of years back in time.
Feeling Festive
My final baking projects of the year are done and dusted and I’m really looking forward to Christmas now. The only bakes left to make are the ones that my family and I are going to enjoy over the next week or so. If you want to give the gingerbread house above a go, this week’s blog has everything you need to know.
My Christmas Kitchen
I’m pretty much going to be baking non-stop between now and Christmas. This week has included a real highlight for me.
