Recon to Ulaan Baatar is a go!!!
Today we received our e-tickets for our visit to Ulaan Baatar (UB), Mongolia - to see if we are up for the challenge to live there for 2 years! It made start thinking, planning, wondering (worrying) about a million things....and I thought now is the time to re-start and re-task my little blog! In hindsight - I should have started a blog when we were moving to the UK and chronicled our amazing adventures here - maybe I will do a summary at some point! I am very good at taking photos, scrap booking memories and keeping tickets of events - but the idea of a blog to record the memories and experiences coupled with the ease of sharing them is appealing! So my new goal it to stick at this blog thing!
We have had the most amazing 3 years in Gerrards Cross and they have flown by so quickly. Here we are on the cusp of a mind blowing adventure! Although we have not yet formally accepted the position in UB in our heads I think we up are for it! The kids are all quite keen - most days anyway! We fed them tidbits of information and photos over the time that Jeff was doing a project there recently. Plus the fact we can all go and have a look - see the school, housing and area before we make our final decision is fantastic and crucial to the success as a family of making this move a good one.
So, it's going to be a wild ride - of that I have no doubt - but nothing worthwhile was ever gained easily I believe and there is a lot to be gained from this journey ahead. Now - what to pack??????

Pizza Night!!
A great night at home with the Broughs - I made 4 different lots of pizza dough - one of them gluten free in my Thermomix in less than 25 mins - had them all proving for the afternoon. So i made a double batch of Courgette/zuchini slice yum! And vanilla ice cream for the next day. All 8 of us topped our own pizzas - no complaints from the kids! Jeff cooked them in our little Jamie Oliver brazier/pizza oven. Super scrummy and then to top it off I taught Jim how to make Italian style mango Ice cream in 5 mins - heaven!!
Butterfly Birthday Cake to match!
I loved making this cake to surprise Clarisa! Two layer chocolate fudge cake - with delish chocolate frosting, topped with vanilla and chocolate butterfly biscuits of 2 sizes! and sparkly sprinkles of course!
Clarisas 40th Album
I really need to learn how to rotate photos in my blog! The changes I can make in Picasa dont stick! Ah well, I'm just the slow mode techno dork! Well Ive been slack on the creative front - in reference to scrapping lately - been rather preoccupied by my cooking and stepping into the world of Thermomix demonstrating! I am loving experimenting so I will be adding it to my blog and I have also ventured into Instagram - It is just my thing!! So back to my latest offering - I did this 40th album and matching card for my lovely friend Clarisa - I am so lucky to have her in my life and I am glad I could show her with my craft! Hope you like - made with love.....from the Heart xx
