♥ Ceri makes... celebrated the Olympics opening ceremony by heading East to The Bookclub Basecamp just a hop and a skip across the road from The Bookclub in Leonard St car park. The atmosphere was amazing as everyone welcomed the 2012 Olympic games to London and we even saw the flyover moments after we'd seen it on the live screens!
Delicious food from the Street Kitchen food van...
There is heaps to keep you entertained (aside from the screens showing live Olympic sports!) with table football, ping pong and hula hoops! The Bookclub Basecamp is open until 12th August so head down to join in with the Olympic celebrations.

♥ Ceri makes... hosted my very first Contact the Elderly tea party this afternoon! Contact the Elderly organise regular Sunday tea parties for elderly people who have little or no social support. A great charity and a perfect way to spend my drizzly Sunday afternoon. As if I needed an excuse to bake, here are some of the treats I made...
The tea party guests including the very special guests Edmond and Daphne enjoying themselves...
If you would also like to get involved with the charity they are always keen to hear from new volunteers for driving or hosting - http://www.contact-the-elderly.org.uk/become-a-volunteer/

♥ Ceri makes... had a lovely evening catching up with the book club girls earlier in the week to discuss our latest read Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother at the newly opened Salvation Jane near Old Street station. A cafe by day and a bar/restaurant by evening.
The sharing plates were delicious. However no book club meet is quite complete without some cake!! I would definitely recommend the Hello Dolly slice ...an Australian bake that is an unusual but yummy combination of white chocolate, coconut, almonds and biscuits.
Think I'll have a go at making this at home soon, found this recipe if you want to try too... http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/Hello-Dolly-Slice-L5950.html
Enjoy! x

♥ Ceri makes... kept at bay from the bank holiday rain with a trip to my favourite London gallery the Victoria and Albert museum with Kate. The exhibition brings together a lovely collection of ballgowns from the 1950s right up to the pieces fresh from the catwalk collections of some of the most exciting British design houses including McQueen, Giles Deacon, Mary Katranzou, Gareth Pugh and Erdem to name a few.
The newly extended exhibition space in the V&A fashion gallery has been beautifully constructed; the domed platforms subtly mirror the drama of the domed ceiling.
The Ballgowns - British Glamour since 1950 exhibition is on until 6th January 2013 so there is still plenty of time to make a trip if you haven't already!
