The Death Defying Pepper Roux

I have not read as many books as I usually do this week. I guess I have been spending too much time on the television and laptop again (yes, it has happened before). Luckily, I do still remember quite a few that I have read previously. They really stick to my head. Some, unfortunately, I have forgotten the name of. Most of the books that I do remember the title of are normally ones that I really enjoyed. Some however were not so appealing and were rather tedious to read through. Most of the time I would chicken out and take out a book that I found much more interesting. Continue reading “The Death Defying Pepper Roux”

To build a raft

Everyone has those days when you feel like you have literally nothing to do. You are engulfed in a world of boredom and you spend the whole time trying to find a nice way to spend it. Sometimes you get lucky. Others however, end up as a complete fail. Fortunately, I have experienced one of these days and I have to say, it was quite a success.

So off we set of (me, my dad and brother) on the quest to build a raft. Continue reading “To build a raft”

On Saturday, my family and some of my close friends were able to go to StanHill Farm. There we had the rare experience of going into a maize maze. We were split into groups to see who could find all the letters in the maze. I was with another friend and her little sister. At first, we thought it would be too easy, but we were wrong.

The River of Ink

It is always an amazing experience when you have found the perfect book and you spend the whole day reading it. But the sad part is that after finishing it, you have to spend another week before you find a book that good. Well to make this process much easier, I will once again recommend a book. And to be honest, it is slightly better than the other one. Just slightly. Continue reading “The River of Ink”

Foxes and Sushi

So, most of you should know that I am quite the animal lover and adore all creatures. I take every opportunity I find to get up close to them. Lucky for me I just so happen to have quite a few in my garden. Sure, there are the occasional magpie or a few parrots but they always fly away the moment you see them. But that is where the fox comes in. Continue reading “Foxes and Sushi”
