Last Tuesday Minibakebakegirl and I went up to The View from the Shard. The weather wasn't great but we still had a really good view across London (better that it looks in my photos as the camera on my phone focused on the raindrops on the windows) When you book you get a half hour arrival time slot but once you are up at the top you can spend as long as you like up there. I was imagining it to be like whizzing up to the top of the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas but to get the top you get two separate lifts - my ears did pop in the second one. There are two viewing platforms, one indoors and one partly outdoors - which you can see here.
At the start of every year I try to do one new recipe for tea a week. It gets us out of the "same things on the same night of the week" routine. Also when Minibakebakegirl was smaller I found this got her to try new things by saying we hadn't tried it either, and then voting afterwards whether we would have it again.
I made this Cheese and Ham Bread Pudding a few months ago. You can find the recipe here. It is so easy to make - we had it on a night Minibakebakegirl was at a friends, therefore there was lots for leftovers to be reheated for lunch the next day. It is really tasty - even though I forgot to put the tomatoes in - I would reduce the quantities next time as even though my dish was the right size I did have to squash everything in. I love spinach - Hubby is growing some at the allotment again this year.
Hope to see you next week,
Bakebakegirl
