I'm jealous.
I love babysitting like that.

Haha, his mum is here too
I just don't get to see either of them that often so we're spending some quality monging out time together. He's just at that cute age where he's getting in to transformers, spiderman and iron man and all that, but still young enough to get dead excited when they come on tv.

He sounds like most of the geeks on here.

ahahaa I love that age.
I babysit sometimes for two of my old teachers, and their little girls are both into fairytales at the moment.

Yeah, the two I part-time nanny for
are 18 months and 3 years respectively, and they are massively in to pink and disney. Which is still cute I guess, although it was never really my thing. It's nice to spend time with my little blonde troublemaker watching things explode. :)

This is going to sound strange, but hear me out, I reckon that Rich Tea make the best cheese crackers.
They're thicker than a cracker so they don't crumble if you're biting half of it, and they have a sweetness that goes well with cheese. A little thinggy that I sometimes do is put a slice of pickled beatroot on top of one, then some brie on top and microwave. It makes a lovely little easy snack that isn't tooo unhealthy, the trouble is knowning when to stop though.

I agree, sorta
for me it's those little hovis chaps you get in the cheese cracker assortment boxes. Mmm, those with brie, fabulous.

Oh god yes, I completely forgot about them !
Have you heard of Pié D'Angolas cheese (probably spelt differently), it's my fave brie-type cheese, I love it when it's been left out for a day, but it does pong a bit.

I know which one you mean
it comes in a little wooden box like camembert. I've never actually had it though, perhaps I shall look out for it next time I'm in sainsbury's...

That's the one, marks sometimes has it in and morrisons has it too.
I love all kinds of interesting cheeses, the only type of cheese I don't really dig is Feta, and I find anything but really strong chedar borring (but it's OK as an ingredient, rather than a cheese outright).

I really want to go to the cheese rooms in John Lewis Oxford Street or Harrods or Borough Market sometime soon now.

Get yourself down to La Fromagerie
there's one in marylebone and another in highbury I think. I desperately wanted to go last time I was in London but I didn't have chance. Next time for sure. The food hall in harrods is definitely worth a look too, and less crowded than Borough market.

I've not heard of that one, but I'll give it a good google.
I love the food hall in harrods, they do these lollys that are my fave sweet ever, they're the only place I can get them and I used to have them as a kid when Dad took me there, loads of nice memories.

Next time you're down, give me a shout, we'll do a bit of a gastronomy tour if you fancy =)
