Cupcakes

It has been such a long time since i last made cupcakes so this sunday i finally got around to bake some. They are chocolate chip cupcakes with lemon icing topped off with pistachio. They were delicious!
I got the recipe from this blog: Saras Kager   (it's in danish though)

The last days in Viborg

My time in Viborg is coming to an end. I've been here for about 5 years now and yesterday i had my exam. Now i have a bachelor in computer graphic art. It feels so odd but at the same time i am ready to move on.

A few days ago it started snowing so i went out to take some pictures of the town. Everything is a bit more cosy with snow.

When i came out from the exam a bunch of dear fellow students were waiting for me. They had cake, delicious chocolate marzipan buns and flowers. I shall miss my fellow students who have become great friends. However i am sure i shall meet them again in the future. After all, it is a small industry.

Mille

I've been borrowing my parents digital camera for a while now. It's not the best but sometimes it manages to take some okay photo's.

Christmas 2012

After my internship i returned home to my parents to celebrate christmas. I had a great time at The Mill and i hope to be able to return in the future.

I still haven't been drawing much so some photos will have to do..

 

MilkiWay seems to have gotten bigger. He can barely sleep on the chair without sliding off.

 I sure did miss floor heating in London. Mille seem to enjoy it as much as i do. She also looks like how i felt after the Christmas dinner.

 

Our Christmas tree :)

And i was lucky enough to get a ride on my friend's horse. My legs were so sore the following days that I could barely walk.

 I also went to Tivoli. It's always nice in Tivoli at Christmas time.

I also bought a present for myself. How could i not buy this unicorn horn for cats? I think it's pretty amazing. (though MilkiWay probably doesn't share my excitement)

A trip to Alexander Palace

The 14th of october i went to see Alexandre Palace. It has a quite amazing view.

The joy of using fresh yeast!

This weekend i finally managed to find fresh yeast. It is super expensive compared to the good old normal yeast from Denmark but nevertheless.. it is yeast! (and organic too) I found it in a small organic health store where everything was quite expensive. It was almost like being back in Denmark and the yeast packs even have writing in danish on them. I bought 3 packs and they cost £1.09 each however i do not mind paying that price because it is worth my joy of using yeast. I never thought i would crave using yeast as much as i have.

 

I still need to get to know the oven at the place i am staying but at least it is easier to use than the last one which seem to bake my bread unevenly. I used my first pack of yeast on walnut and white chocolate horns.  :)

London

I am currently in London for my internship and I haven't had much time to draw but i did manage to take some photos. Hopefully i will start drawing again after the 12th of October where we hand in our bachelor thesis paper and "making of".

 

I went to Hyde park with two friends and the weather was absolutely amazing. 26 degrees and sunny. We were amazed with the amount of squirrels and how tame they were. You could actually hand feed them and they would come really close.

 

 Also the pidgins were hand-feedable :)

 

Here they are actually sitting on me.

I also discovered that there were horses! However after getting home and looking at their website i soon found out that an one hour lesson is £69.00. That is about the same price as i would pay for a whole month in Denmark for 1 hour a week.

 

I can't remember what statue this was but it was right outside Hyde Park.

 

Buckingham Palace was quite near by so we dropped by there too on our way home.

 

I think that these are the prettiest street lights i have ever seen. They are like right out of a fairytale movie :)

We also came by Big Ben. 

 This is the cat Kitty who also lives in the flat where i am renting a room. When i saw her sleeping like this i just had to take a photo :)
