"Sparking" up

Oh hey there, I'm back in the land of the living!! If you follow me on Instagram you'd have seen that I've been a little out of action this week, having been struck down with gastroenteritis. 

Without going into the gory details, it was brutal. Having been dealing with IBS & IBD for years, I'll say that this was the absolute worse I've ever experienced. I really can't believe just how sick I have been.

Well actually I can, because I have a souvenir from Tuesday night...



When the stomach flu hit hardest my body didn't handle it all that well and unfortunately there was nothing to break my fall and I fainted and passed out on the bathroom tiles until my Husband found me (apparently I was screaming but I don't remember a thing).

But if you think this is bad, you should see the other guy, those tiles are totally messed up! But seriously, fainting is no joke!!

Three days later and I am well and truly "Sparking" up now and back to my baking best! 

And for what better reason to bake than to Bake for Bumps.

I am joining up with Emma from Adventures of a London Kiwi and 10 other bloggers to raise awareness and funding for Sparks, a leading children's research charity. 

We are meeting tomorrow and in lieu of paying for a fancy afternoon tea out in London, we are all bringing our home baked treats and donating the money we would have otherwise spent to Sparks. 

If you'd like to help us reach our £200 goal, Emma has set up the donation page, we'd LOVE your support. 

I'll be sure to IG throughout the afternoon, but right now, I have some mini-pavlova's to make!

Psst!! If you are looking for a little more meg-made, I'd LOVE for you to follow along!
