Campanile Music

I found The Pains of Being Pure at Heart today whilst on the prowl for new music.

The Shop Ruche lookbook is beautiful. Especially "Burlington"...

It reminds me of cycling up the Cam with my friend when she was at university. 

Blueberry and Coconut Muffins

A misspent afternoon of baking. I baked these lovely heart-shaped blueberry and coconut muffins. 

I will share with you the recipe. I adapted the standard blueberry recipe which is from Sheherazade Goldsmith's, A Slice of Organic Life. 

2 Eggs (lightly beaten)

140g Wholemeal Flour

140g Plain Flour

2 teaspoons Baking Powder 

1 teaspoon Baking Soda 

50g Butter 

50g Honey or Sugar

85g and then some of Blueberries

275g Rachel's coconut natural yoghurt (yum)

• Mix the flour, the baking powder and baking soda.
• Melt the butter and sugar/honey together 
• Make a well in the centre (blah blah blah) the melted sugary butter, the blueberries, eggs, and yoghurt. 
• This is the important muffiny bit; mix gently and not too much. This, I have discovered, makes it light and fluffy because of... science! 
• Bake them till the tops are golden brown at 180 degrees. 

AGFA Silette 1

I have bought a camera. It is beautiful. It has a lovely leather case that it came with. I think it's a 1968 Silette 1 but I'm guessing the date. I haven't worked out all the settings yet and I'd like to say that this means I can start posting outfits but I think it'll take me a couple of rolls of film to get it right.

However, it's beautiful. I will get a digital camera as it will make recording things easier but I'm not willing to make the switch to digital permanently. Something I love about photography is the different grains that different decades and manufacturing can make to an image. I love the eighties dark grain of my childhood photos, the thicker paper and rounded corners and the  further back you reach the thicker the nostalgia.

I'm wearing my new dress in the picture. Thank you H&M; cheap, pretty and durable.

Praise to German enterprise.
