Graffiti in Brizzle -Foxes

I'm In Bristol for a few days taking in the sights ( and visiting family ) and I spotted this little beauty. 

From my sketchbook 1

Here is a page from my sketch book that I have been working on for a day or two.

Where Have You Been?

Hello Beautiful people, I realize it has been a bit quiet on here for a few days but I have been a rather busy little bee of late. The reason behind me being less active on here is that I have been working in the studio (aka my bedroom) painting my latest project. you might have seen the first installment HERE.

From The Depths Of Storage

Hello beautiful people, I was Looking through my old Paintings and found this bright little gem, Its acrylic on wood and took me 6 hours to finish. I've always been into drawing, ever since i was little but it wasn't until 2 years ago that I got into painting. I've got a lot to learn and practice makes perfect so I'd better keep practicing.

Sand Sculptures

Hello Beautiful People, I was looking through my photos and realized I never shared these amazing sand sculptures with all of you. These pictures were taken in Black rock, Brighton on my holiday in September. You can read about that HERE. 

All of these sculptures were made entirely of sand and took several long days to complete.

Nan's Kitchen Gold | Easy no bake Chocolate Crunch Cake!

Hello you beautiful people, on a recent visit to my wonderful Nan's house the subject of cakes came up, my Nan has always been amazing when it comes to cooking and food in general (when we were there in the holidays lunch was always stunning with cheese muffins being a personal favorite of mine!) and she has amassed so many tried and tested recipes that bring back memories for the whole family. I had a look through her recipe box and found this little delight.

This recipe requires no baking that's why I love it so much!

You will need: 

- 300 g of Rich Tea Biscuits
- 175 g of Dark Chocolate ( I used Bournville)
- 397 g of Condensed Milk (sweetened)
- 115 g of unsalted butter
- 30 g of Raisins

To decorate (optional):
- 175 g of dark chocolate 

How to work the magic:

In a large mixing bowl crush the biscuits into crumbs. Stir in the raisins.

Melt the butter in a pan on a low heat, add the condensed milk and 175 g of the chocolate. stir until the chocolate has melted. Pour the melted mix into the biscuit crumbs and stir until well combined.

Pack the mix into a 6 Inch cake tin (that has been lined with clingfilm or grease proof paper) and put into the fridge for 3 hours to let it set.

Optional, Decoration:

Placed the (now chilled) cake on a cooling rack (with a tray or clingfilm underneath, trust me you will need it).

Melt 175 g of Dark Chocolate. Pour over the cake until evenly covered and allow to set.

I chose not to decorate it with the melted chocolate but it tastes great either way. This cake is great with a coffee in the afternoon.
