Saturday

This week's British Bake Off Challenge was to bake biscotti so I attempted my own entry with chocolate orange & hazelnut flavour. I hope I make it through!

Ladyboys of Bangkok Edinburgh, Scotland, GB

Phil gave us some free tickets for The Ladyboys Of Bangkok last time we were in Thread & Heather so I took Mum along to their show this afternoon.

It was a little stranger than I remember and it felt like Mum & I were the only sober people at a giant hen party. I was wondering why there were so many big burly bouncers when we arrived but it was obvious by the end of the show with lots of drunk people dancing on tables and trying to get on the stage. The ladyboys were really pretty and we loved seeing all of their costumes and wondering if they did their own dressmaking.

I managed to get this basket for £3 from a charity shop. I've got plans to turn it into an adorable Figaro inspired picnic basket for two.

Blackford Hill Blackford, , GB

It came in handy this evening, as Mum decided that she felt like a picnic on Blackford Hill. Luckily, I was halfway through cooking a salmon & beetroot frittata which was the perfect picnic dish with a side of potato salad.

We were just in time for sunset and to watch some fireworks at the castle.
