Things that I love and make me happy…

So, this is a little bit of a mix and match taken from two very interesting blogs (Drinking Raindrops and Accidentally, Kle). Here are a few things which make me happy and bring a smile to my face:

  • The smell of freshly cut grass on a damp morning
  • The smell of freshly baked bread
  • Sitting on rocks, watching the waves roll in and out
  • Hot weather and the warmth of sunshine
  • The brisk breeze in winter as I walk across Tower Bridge
  • Playing with my little cousins, nephews and nieces
  • Hanging out with good company, especially people who are mature for their age
  • … when friends remember something small which makes me happy
  • Laughing :)
  • Watching kids being inquisitive
  • Helping others get a result
  • Getting a result which I never expected
  • Chocolate!
  • Saying a prayer

What makes you smile? :)

Cookies…..

So you know how I said that I would be running around London, taking pics on Saturday….

Well, I didn’t quite do that….

Actually, I was quite exhausted to do much, so I caught up on some much needed sleep. What I did do though was bake cookies! :D

I stumbled upon Maris’ blog a few days ago after she left a comment on one of my posts. What a great surprise it was that she blogs about food…. I LOVE FOOD! :D

I have never baked cookies previously, and this recipe looked quite appetizing. Although my presentation needs some work, the recipe was quite awesome! Try it out yourself, it is quite easy to make!

(I used about 200g butter instead of the apple sauce, but everything else was the same.)

It all started off like this…..
