What a beautiful color!
All of the sugars in my baking stash. Seriously, why are there so many! And this isn't even all the different types you can get in the store. Don't get me started on all the flours I have either...
Day 333- 31/8/10
I got a fantastic little baking book for my birthday and have been trying new recipes from it, today its very simple chocolate chip cookies. For this recipe I needed this Golden Syrup, which comes in this beautiful tin. I don't know if we have such a thing in Canada but it tastes divine and if it wasn't pure sugar I am sure I'd lick the spoon clear each time I used it!

Day 332- 30/8/10
A busy Monday on the high street. The sun finally has shown its face here in town, and its a bank holiday. A good combo!
Day 331- 29/8/10
A washing machine in the kitchen seems normal now, but on a lazy sunday afternoon after putting the wash in, I remembered that its not! Well, maybe it is normal, but I am pretty sure most homes in Canada have their washing machine in the basement or a different room. Its quite handy having it here actually, just another English thing that feels like the norm now!
I had a conversation with a friend from home about quitting the blog after a year. She didn't like the idea and thought I should continue it. Her perspective of the blog was that I was doing it for people at home so that they know what is happening and not for myself. Its true, I use it as a good snippet of the every day over here, but more so for YOU the reader. I am going to try to shift my thinking to maybe doing it a bit more for me, and therefore you, as the viewer, can still enjoy the photos and ramblings with maybe a different shift, and maybe, just maybe, I will keep it going after that 365 day mark.

A lovely saturday afternoon lunch at the Armory. Its a place in town with a nice history and some super yummy food.
Day 328- 26/8/10
Strawberry & pear cider. Yum! If only the sun was out to enjoy it in the park...Oh well.
Day 327- 25/8/10
It's been really nice here lately. Lots of rain, wind, coldness. Pretty much feels like winter.
Day 325- 23/8/10
Grabbing lunch and a couple bits and bobs at the grocery store Waitrose. This is not a usual place to shop at as there is not one nearby the flat. Really nice food and high class brands. I've been sloppy with the blog lately, and its not long till the counter will hit 365 days of being in England. Some days I plan to stop the blog on day 365, maybe posting from time to time...what do you think?
Day 322- 20/8/10
Aston Villa football club. We were here for a networking event during the day, and then took advantage of the tour of the stadium, locker room ect after. Why not? I have not been to a football game yet, but this gave me a little more interest to attend one.

A visit to Fort Steele, an old 1800's town with many original buildings that have been restored.
A stop off at Lussier natural hot springs, high up in the BC rockies and just off a logging road. A very neat experience, with water getting up to 108 degrees!

Day 311- 9/8/10
A couple days away from the city, a road trip to BC. We took a stop over at my Uncle & Aunts ranch on the way. Beautiful area and so very peaceful. We took a little ride around the property to try to spot some bears, but no luck this time.
