bratislava.

We set off on the next leg of our journey - from Vienna to Bratislava - on a coach with really good wifi, so I could catch up with my friends and fam back home! The journey was beautiful and peaceful, and we saw SO many swallows on the way! 

autumnal tones.

It seems like it's suddenly gone from a nice, mild October, to pretty damn chilly. The bare-leg days are most definitely over, and I'm trying to be a little more brave with my trousers - instead of just sticking to jeans/leggings.

chocolate chocolate teacake.

You might've seen me mention on Twitter/Facebook that it's chocolate week! I thought this would be a good excuse to bake this super rich chocolate loaf that I've been drooling over for a while. The word "chocolate" is in the name twice for a reason..

The next stop on our adventure was Vienna. We got up at silly o'clock and caught the very nice & quiet train from Prague. We had a few little sleeps, and watched the beautiful scenery go by - mist, mountains, trees, the sweetest little houses, and lots of sunflower & pumpkin fields.

Here's my open letter to the person I love most.. 

october mini goals.

It's the return of the mini goals! I've had a few months off from these, which I really needed as I had a lot to deal with & get on with. But now I'm ready to tackle a few things!
