Maybe I should change the name of this post to "The week I basically just ate and baked." or something... 

I took last week off work, both my part-time office work and illustration/art work. I'd been really busy recently and had just finished a lot of stuff and hadn't had a holiday or break this year (my illustration e-mails 'out of office' hadn't been on since July 2013 ,oops!), so I thought it would be the perfect time to take a week off all work before the Christmas stuff needs to be done! 

If you saw my previous post (if not, have a look here!) you would know that I went for a long weekend away to Wells in Somerset with a little stop off to Cardiff on the way back, so that was my little 'going away holiday' and it was lovely! Luckily it was actually really warm and sunny there at the time, PERFECT! And the rest of the week I just did whatever I wanted, which by the look of things was baking (and a bit of cooking...), but also catching up with a book I was reading (nothing big, just a holiday read kind of book!) and a little shopping trip to Chester! Mainly Lush and...maybe Jo Malone... I have a problem!!! And that was it :) I thought I had more photos than this, sorry if you don't like seeing photos of food and cakes, probably not the best post for you to see!
