miss b loves.............. a week of celebrations

Earlier this month, we enjoyed a week of celebrations in my home town, Preston in the North of England. There really was something for everyone ...a different event every day....from colourful processions, live music (including Katherine Jenkins and José Carreras) to artistic hairdressing and fireworks... but it only happens once every twenty years!

miss b loves......chocolate chip cookies

I have tried a few different cookie recipes but when I spotted this one in my new Green and Black's cookery book I just had a feeling that this was going to be a favourite and I wasn't disappointed!

Day 2 in Munich.........and a perfect temperature for strolling around the city (you can read about Day 1 here)

There are so many lovely buildings in Munich all well-maintained and even better against the beautiful blue sky.....

I've finally sorted through the numerous photos from my weekend away in Munich which we managed to squeeze in a couple of weeks before our Hong Kong trip (you can read about the HK visit here and here). 

So....Munich....It's Germany's third largest city, famous for its beer gardens and lederhosen yet it is also dynamic, filled with wonderful buildings, modern museums, world-class art galleries, high-end shopping and a range of excellent restaurants and pavement cafés - I can certainly recommend it as an ideal city break..........
