Since the passing of my father in June of 2021 the only thing that has helped/saved my mental health has been cycling. Over the last year and a half every spare penny that have had has gone in to my love of cycling, fixing and upgrading until I got my first proper bike in September which has allowed me to get out on so many adventures β°οΈπ΅π»ββοΈ Until Monday, when someone took both my bikes and left me with nothing!! I know this too shall pass and that I will save enough to buy another one day, but for now my heart is broken and Iβm a little lost π #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #cylcling #voodoo #ribble #ribblecycles #cyclinglife
A small insight 
I was looking for a Battenberg receipt and found someone eye-wateringly gorgeous too …….. I hope the whole world is queuing up to tell you the same.
Congrats on living in Edinburgh …… I grew up there, living in a flat on Dundas Street, I can’t think of a better place to spend time.
Toddle pip!
Peter
Thanks Peter, I love Edinburgh too and I’m not far from Dundas street π xx
Thank you for stopping by and liking my post! Your site here looks very appetizing!
Thanks Patricia, feel free to stop by again any time xx
Thanks for my baking day post, i really like your blog too also tried to make some macarons today but mucked them up! Do you have any good tips? From magdamoo
What went wrong? Then I may be able to say what you should do differently next time xx But my best tip at the moment would be not to give up :o) As it does take a few attempts to start getting it right x
Mmmmm π It all looks so tasty! Im going to have to try a few of these recipes π
Let me know what you try and how you get on xx
Absolutely GORGEOUS photos. I know nothing about food photography and looking at your recipes (especially the Turkish Delight), I wish I did!
Awww thanks, I’m not sure i know very much either, but I’m keen to learn as I go along x
Delightful pictures. I should at least try preparing Toast with avocado, fried eggs and soy sauce…it shouldn’t be very difficult π
I would certainly recommend it, I love having it on a Saturday for brunch, just perfect xx
I tried making it today…except that I had to replace avocado with cucumber π It tasted good.
Excellent, it will be 10 times as good when you finally get the chance to have it with avocado π x Mmmmmm……..I want it now! :p x

Hello there!
It was very nice of you to drop by the Kitchen earlier. Some of the recipes you’ve got listed on here look extremely tempting, especially that coffee cake. I hope you won’t mind if I give some of these a whirl. =)
Awesome blog!!! Definitely going to keep an eye on those good looking recipes of yours!:)
Beautiful blog!! β€
Hi Lucy. I gave your Mars Bar cakes a whirl this week and they were a big hit at work. I hope you don’t mind but I put a few links to your blog in my most recent entry too….=3
And such a pretty,edible site? You should give yourself a pat on the back. Healthy eating out the window, what with all the pretty, awesome, sugary bits?.If i gain weight, you are entirely to blame because I am so following this blog……….
I may have bookmarked EVERYTHING.
I should say “Hats off” that you have really taken your craft of cooking to a professional level. Good day.
