Somehow I’m now at the end of my week off, which seems unfair…time has gone so fast! Yesterday was a designated chill-out day, in preparation for what will surely be a manic trip to Birmingham, and the Bullring today; I can cope with crowds though…I’m excited for shops, for seeing my friend and her little boy, and for seeing my Aunt and Cousin.
Yesterday’s outfit consisted of another £5 Primark jumper, Primark velvet skirt and a pair of my new shoes!
I’m not going to be around today to catch up with blogs at all; despite having more time, I seem to be more behind than ever! As a consolation prize I leave you with a recipe for mini gingerbread loaf cakes, with lemony icing.
Adapted from a Tesco real food recipe.
- 175g (6oz) light butter
- 175g (6oz) light muscovado sugar
- 3 eggs
- 250g (8oz) self-raising flour
- 2tsp ground ginger
- 75g (3oz) preserved ginger, finely chopped
- 2tbsp ginger syrup, from jar
To decorate I simply mixed up some Lemon flavoured icing sugar (from Silver Spoon), but normal glace icing flavoured with lemon would work just fine!
that ginger loaf looks goregous! ginger is one of my favourite flavours, so will defo be making this.
Have fun at the bullring 🙂 xx
Have a great day shopping and catching up with friends and family.
I’m off to make that yummy ginger bread!

Ooh velvet really suits you. Hope you enjoyed your shopping day. I went to the Westfield at Stratford today and it didn’t feel too busy…but as my local shopping area is Oxford St maybe I’m just used to the busyness!
