Blissfully Barbecued Bananas

So I meant to write this blog post several weeks ago, so you could all try this over the summer, but better late than never, right?! If any of you are planning a barbecue in the next few weeks then you should seriously try these! They're so yummy, and so easy.

First of all, you need bananas, a large bar of chocolate, a sharp knife, and some kitchen foil.



Becoming a 'Poo-Free' Zone

It's been a rather hectic few days recently with getting ready for the move back to England. I have turned out my room so many times to try and get rid of as much stuff as possible and yet it still doesn't seem to fit in my room...

As I've mentioned before, I gave up shampoo several months ago, starting on the first day of lent. I'm not going to lie, it hasn't been easy. But I think I'm past the worst bit now, so it can only get better from here. The first few weeks were really rather grim.

If you've never been on a Richmond Holiday, then I highly recommend it. Seriously... Book now! On our week, we were with a very varied group of people, however, by the end of the week it almost felt like we were family. By day three I was emerging at breakfast in pyjamas, wandering around barefoot, leaving the room constantly unlocked, and having no qualms about asking people particularly personal and difficult questions. I'd like to tell you just a little bit about some of the people I met...
