I found this cool free software . . .

It's for web design (huzzah!) and appears to be fab. You can find out all about it and download it here:

I haven't tried it myself yet.

Woo hoo!

I'm doing a Photoshop course and another on web design! Gorgeous Photoshopped pictures will be appearing on this blog soon . . . be afraid!

I took this photo of burnt trees in California. I wonder how it would look if I made it black and white? Maybe kinda scary?

The best cake ever?

No - don't get excited - I haven't been cooking!

I'm learning more about blogging and I had a look at BoingBoing which is a famously fabulous blog.

They had an article about this utterly splendid Discworld cake and there was even a link to a detailed page about how it was made.

It reminded me of just how much I love Terry Pratchett's Discworld books and how I really must start reading them again very soon.

Oh dear. Here I am yet again, making an exhibition of myself in a public place.

In both of these photos we're singing 'Diamonds Are Forever' - the James Bond theme song.

Fabulous, farm fresh cake!


This was the birthday cake of a family member. In fact, it was her first birthday cake - although surely a timeless design like this would suit any occasion?

The River Wild


With my intrepid companion, I set out to find the source of the River Nile . . .
