We love pancakes in our home! It’s something made at least weekly, with berries or homemade jams or syrups on top. As it is pumpkin season, and we have made so much pumpkin puree, it was only natural that we ended up making some pumpkin pancakes. These pancakes taste amazing and bring a lot of Autumn cheer to your breakfast table – perfect for a spooky Halloween breakfast or just a new fall favorite. I am sure they go great with some pumpkin spiced coffee too!

A Day Out at Spooky Gudetama the Lazy Egg x Artbox Cafe & Boutique
If you frequent this blog (or my instagram) you may have noticed that we love the Artbox Cafe! We have been there for Pusheen and Gudetama, but when Gudetama got a spooky look (and spooky treats added to the menu) we had to go back down to Brighton to try out some of the new Halloween-themed treats! Along with their regular menu of delicious treats – ice creams, cheese cakes, soups, and sandwiches, there is a select dessert menu with a drink for the spooky Autumn season. If you were unable to attend this pop-up, consider this Cake shop online check out your favourite cake.
We, of course, tried both of these desserts, as well as the Pumpkin Spice latte, and had a lovely time! As always, Claire went along with us. Let’s get into it.

Pick Your Poison Boozy Truffles | Review
I was looking for a more upscale, adult candy for this year’s Halloween. Just because kids are the ones trick or treating, doesn’t mean adults can’t have a Halloween themed candy treat! Dann came across the Pick Your Poison Boozy Truffles from Fortnum & Mason – and it seemed perfect! I’ve not had boozy truffles before, but am a big truffle fan.
These truffles weren’t overwhelmingly boozy, they tasted subtle in their alcohol-related flavors, which felt perfect for what we wanted. Our box had two truffles that were duplicated, but the rest had one of each listed. The flavors we got were: Fortnum’s Bellini Truffle (we got two of these), Pink Marc De Champagne Truffle, Fortnum’s Kir Royale Truffle, Fortnum’s London Gin with Lime (we got two of these), Milk Chocolate Port Wine Truffle, Fortnum’s London Gin with Orange, Dark Chocolate Cognac Truffle and Milk Chocolate Whisky Truffe.
What It’s Like Dating Gamer Geeks
[Ad- collab] If you have glanced at my social media, you will find that I am actually a games journalist and community manager working in video games. My partner, Dann, is actually an editor at the world’s largest mobile gaming site. Saying we are gamer geeks is sort of an understatement – we have been in games so long that it’s just apart of our personality. Gaming is actually a big part of most people’s lives, from young children playing games to adults getting together to play online multiplayers or playing single player games on their own.
When I was younger, playing games was something uncool. Now, it seems that everyone is describing themselves as gamers or talking about the newest game they have purchased. With the continuing rise in households with consoles and the availability of games – especially free games – increasing, the number of people who are finding gaming is their main hobby is following suit. Gaming is a way to bring yourself out of this world and enjoy a world worth playing in. Often, dating gamers comes with memes that are quite… incorrect – both from the “gamers dates gamer boys” and the “gamers dates gamer girls” point of view. So I figured I’d share my point of view when it comes to geek dating.
Pumpkin Spice Scones | Recipe
It’s a Autumn tradition to create these Pumpkin Spice Scones in our house! I’ve been making them for the better part of five Autumns, so it’s a scone that I really enjoy. When I first moved to England, I wanted to make an “English Pumpkin Thing” so I made some pumpkin scones. Over time, this recipe has changed a bit, but at it’s core it is still everything I love in a dessert. The scones are a bit more cake-like then scone-like, but that’s part of their charm!
When it comes to pumpkin puree, you can either use the canned stuff (if you can find it) or make your own. To make your own, you just need to purchase a cooking pumpkin – not a carving pumpkin – split it in half, scoop out the middle, and roast it, before digging out the flesh and pureeing it. I can’t seem to find the canned pumpkin puree in stores in England anymore, so this year I made my own. You don’t need much of it, so do keep an eye on our blog for more recipes using the puree we made! Let’s get into the pumpkin spice scones recipe!
