I went for a daytrip to the seaside with my parents and two younger sisters earlier on this week. It was actually a really lovely day! I enjoyed it so much, it's really nice being able to catch up with everyone again after so long away from home.
We went to a place called Bridlington which is on the North East coast of England so it was quite chilly! We packed a picnic lunch and I made some bulgur wheat salad, which was actually really nice but I was so busy enjoying it I forgot to take a photo! I still have some left in the pantry though, so I'm sure I'll make some more soon.
While we were wandering around the town (it was too chilly to spend any time on the beach, which is typical of English seaside hehe) we passed a cooking shop, so being the avid baking/cooking fan that I am, dragged all my family inside for a thorough look around. I could have spent a fortune there! My friends are all obsessed with clothes and shoe shops, but me? Give me a cooking supplies shop anyday! I found a massive tube of cookie cutters while I was in there too, which my dad kindly bought for me as a gift!
The next day my sister and I couldn't wait to try them out, but first things first, we laid them all out on the carpet so we could get a good look at them! I'm such a kid, I love any stuff like this and I've never had any proper cookie cutters of my own before. My grandma used to have some when I was little, and I used to love it when she'd let me use them.
So this post is just really to say thanks to my dad for the present! And also to let you know to stay tuned, as an extremely delicious cookie post is coming soon!

That's so nice of your dad to buy you those neat looking cookie cutters. I'm also like you, I love going into kitchen/cooking supply stores!
A whole shop devoted to cookie-making?! Sounds too good to be true! I love going to the baking-supply area in craft stores.
Welcome back! I'm jealous of all your cute cookie cutters!
it's nice to finally find another British vegan blog, I look forward to reading and seeing more!
I was just looking for some cute cookie cutters to make some vegan lemon cookies for my latke making party Saturday. Yay Hanukah!
I love bridlington - used to go there all the time with my parents, grandparents used to own a small B&B there. Love their cute little stores...miss it! (Live in Texas now!)
