Travelling at Christmas

As some of you may know, I live on an island. When you live on an island you pretty much depend on the weather.
If you want to go to the mainland, you have two choices. Boat or plane. If the weather is bad, mostly choppy seas, the boat is cancelled. If there is very strong wind or fog, the plane is cancelled.

This year I'm going to my grandparents house for christmas and I'm getting the boat later today. Tomorrow there will be a storm and it will continue throughout the weekend.

So if you don't leave on the boat today, you'll be stuck here for Christmas!

How about you? Do any of you guys depend on the weather for travelling?

Do any of you guys live in big cities in the US or the UK or Australia or New Zealand? I'd love to hear about Christmas there.

I hope you guys get to your Christmas Destination in time!

Ginger and Chocolate Biscuits

Hi guys! This is a really nice recipe, which I found in a cookbook in my kitchen (a really old one without a publisher written on it!) and I came across a recipe for 'biscuits'. They could have came up with something more original! Anyway, I tried that recipe but the biscuits were very plain and boring, so I decided to spice it up a little (I actually used spices) ;) Here is the recipe I use (which is half from the book and half from me!) Makes about 18 biscuits (it depends on the cookie cutter you use, really) For the biscuits: 350g plain flour 3 teaspoons of ground ginger, or 4 teaspoons if you're a ginger lover! 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda 100g butter 175g soft light brown sugar 1 egg 4 tablespoons of golden syrup For the chocolate icing (don't really know what to call it!): 165g milk/dark chocolate (whichever you prefer) Handful of sprinkles Heat your oven to 180C, 350F gas mark 4. Storage:Keep in an airtight container and eat within six d...

Stuff To Do On a Rainy Day

Hi! I hope you all liked my short story, and if you haven't seen it yet, check it out. So it's really rainy outside, so I thought I'd make a list (long term readers, you get me by now) of things you can do on rainy days. But first, here's a little picture of what the weather was like yesterday, just to show you how annoying the weather is: Argh! How irritating! Here's the list: A short list of things to do on a rainy day Find a board game Even though they have gone a bit out of fashion, they are still fun at desperate times, like on rainy days. Start writing a story All you need is some characters, something you are interested in, an unexpecting twist and an imagination for this on a rainy day. Bake a cake This can be really fun on a dull day, and a piece of cake can really help. You don’t have to bake a cake, you can make anything with the ingredients you have. Clean your room This doesn’t sound fun. But i...

How to talk to someone (without them dying of boredom)

Hello! I'm back. It's been eleven days since my last post. How was your Christmas? Did you have a brilliant New Year? So you may have noticed the extremely weird and long title? You probably did. You know when you are having a conversation and then you both don't know what to say and there's a long, akward silence where you stand there for ages and then end up saying "So..." on repeat? This list of non-small talk questions will make your talking life much more interesting. Obviously you should always start with introducing yourself, ask them the usual questions and once you get to know them better, ask them some of these random questions: If you were an instrument, which one would you be, and why? If you could bring a fictional character to life who would it be, and why? If you were an animal what would you be, where would you live, and why? If you weren't human, what living thing would you be, and why? If you were an item of clothing, what wo...
