It is with great sadness that I inform you that one of our members; Harry Welsh, passed away at 06h15 this morning after losing his battle with Cancer. It was less than a month ago that Harry made contact to tell me he had been diagnosed with terminal bone cancer. He was very upbeat in his message and I assumed he still had a while to go but sadly that wasn't the case. Harry was OC Police at Wittering and then became a vetting officer before retiring. For a number of years he had been an active volunteer at the Yorkshire Air Museum at York and with my help had ensured that the history of the RAF Police were represented at the facility. My condolences go out to his family for their loss and may Harry rest in peace. Steve Davies

I understand one of
our former colleagues, Phillip Cavill, was found dead on New
Year's Day. He served between 2006 to 2016 at RAF Halton and
RAF Honnington with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Phillip
tragically took his own life.
A nice service this morning for Phillip (Phil) Cavill. I joined the local Southampton Breakfast Club who mounted a guard of honour. RBL and RAFA Standard bearers also attended. RAF Police in uniform acted as pall bearers. I spoke with Phil's mother after the service at a local venue for refreshments. A very lovely lady and she was very pleased at the turnout and the support. I gave her my fallen snowdrop pin. She lives very close to me so there is also the possibility that I may see her around. Sad day....

Former Snowdrop Dennis (Danny) Moss MBE (16 August 1927 – 28 May 2008) was a British jazz tenor saxophonist. He was known for playing with most of the high-profile figures of British jazz, including Vic Lewis, Ted Heath, Johnny Dankworth, Alex Welsh, and Humphrey Lyttelton.
The son of a toolmaker, Moss was born in Redhill, Surrey in 1927. At the age of thirteen, he saw a jazz band appear briefly in a Bowery Boys film on a family cinema visit, and was so inspired by the clarinet playing that he swapped his most valued possession, his ice skates, for a second-hand instrument of his own. He was self-taught on both this and the tenor saxophone, which he took up at school.
A spell of National Service as an RAF Policeman, at the age of eighteen saw Moss performing for three years in a Royal Air Force regional band at RAF Staverton. After leaving the forces he joined the Vic Lewis Orchestra, and in the next few years moved around various bands, especially ones with the potential for a soloist. In 1952, he joined Ted Heath's band, a well-paid role which he described as "the prestige job of all time". Soon, however, Moss found the group's focus on novelty numbers and faithful musical reproductions, including that of solos, to be limiting to his skills as an improviser, and he left after three years.
In 1957 Moss joined John Dankworth's orchestra. Here, with the band's encouragement, he began to develop his characteristic saxophone sound, eschewing the contemporary focus on light tone and fast phrasing in favour of a thicker and more spacious sound informed by American pioneers such as Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster. When the Dankworth band visited America, Moss' style was singled out for compliment by Count Basie, who declared his playing "real Texas tenor... the way it should sound!" He left Dankworth's band in 1962, as the band itself was winding down. From here, he joined Humphrey Lyttelton's group, where he continued to hone his style for another two years.
He then married jazz singer Jeanie Lambe, and the two moved from London to Sussex at her suggestion. Here, he formed his own quartet, playing a mix of club gigs, festival appearances and radio broadcasts for the BBC. He continued to tour with this quartet throughout the 1970s and 1980s, also playing and recording with high-profile singers like Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, Sarah Vaughan and Rosemary Clooney, and appearing as a guest soloist with American musicians such as Buck Clayton in the mid-'60s and Louis Armstrong on his last British tour. Moss also co-founded British jazz "supergroup" Pizza Express All-Stars in 1980, playing with them until the end of the 1980s.
Moss and Lambe moved to Perth, Western Australia in 1989, although Moss continued to play regularly in Europe; indeed, his distance from Europe only seemed to increase the level of demand for his performances there.
In November 2005, he was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma, a rare form of lung cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. He participated in a video for the Australian medical website Virtual Medical Centre where he was interviewed about his illness and chemotherapy treatment. He died on 28 May 2008, aged 80, survived by Lambe and the couple's two sons. Rest in Peace Danny.
A man who sneaked into the RAF to train as a World War Two bomber gunner at 15, served as an air force police officer, raised Hadlow College's first cattle herd, and ran County Hall has tragically died of a devastating brain injury after a fall at his allotment.
Chriss Bridger, 89, was found unconscious by a passer-by at his vegetable patch in Sandling Road, Maidstone, on February 12.
After regaining conciousness and talking to paramedics he fell into a seizure and was airlifted to Kings College Hospital in London.
Scans revealed catastrophic bleeding in his brain and doctors decided he could not be saved. With his family around him, he died later that day.
Following an inquest into his death, the family of the Boxley Road resident have opened up about his extra-ordinary life.
Chriss was born and grew up on Great Chilmington Farm, near Great Chart.
As a teenager, regardless of his age and using false documents, he joined the RAF to train as a rear gunner in a Lancaster Bomber.
However, just before before his first mission his true age was discovered and, although he never found out how he suspected his mother had reported him, he was discharged.
The bomber he was assigned to was shot down shortly afterwards during a raid over Bochum, Germany.
At 21 he decided to rejoin the air force but, with so little demand for air crew, became an RAF police officer, eventually finding himself on VIP duty escorting dignitaries including Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery and Prince Philip.
After 10 years of service he returned to the farming life and just under two years later, was tasked with raising Hadlow College's first beef herd.
He continued working on the land until 1974 when, hoping to save up for retirement, he got a job with the law courts at County Hall.
Later ,when the position because available, he was hired as the County Steward - tasked with overseeing security, cleaners, catering, and looking after the county silver.
After retiring in 1991 he spent his time with his four children, holidaying with his wife Cherry, and working on his allotment.
When Cherry died of cancer in 2009 he continued growing vegetables, despite not liking them, and gave them to St Paul's Church on the same road as his home.
Remembering her father, daughter Katie said: "He was a generous man. He was the sort of person who do anything if he was asked to. He was a very loving man."
My father, David Parkin, who has died aged 85, spent his working life in the police force and was an early beneficiary of a scheme to offer young recruits a university education.
After training as a police officer in his native Yorkshire he worked initially as a constable in the West Riding, but most of his career was subsequently spent in the Somerset and Bath constabulary. There, in his relatively early days, he was selected for a fast-track programme for promising officers and, after being promoted to sergeant, was sent in 1966 for police-funded study at the London School of Economics, where his personal tutor was the sociologist Ralph Miliband.
Returning in 1969 with a degree in economics, he found many colleagues and superiors felt he had wasted his time, but personally he never doubted that his time at university had made him a better and more fulfilled officer.
He was promoted to inspector and then, when the Avon & Somerset force came into being, was made a chief inspector in 1974 and posted to Weston-super-Mare. Four years later he moved to Nailsea, near Bristol, where his command included Portishead, Clevedon and half of the Clifton suspension bridge.
That was perhaps his happiest period in the job until finally he was made superintendent at the St George's police station in Bristol in the late 1980s. He retired in 1990.
David was born and raised in Sheffield, the middle child of Ben and Freda (nee May). His father was a Methodist minister and he grew up firmly in that cultural tradition, claiming to have signed the pledge aged three to affirm his lifelong teetotalism.
In addition to the usual challenges of a wartime childhood, he faced more as the son of a conscientious objector. He attended Firth Park grammar school in Sheffield, but left before completing his sixth-form studies with thoughts of working in agriculture. However, his national service steered him into the RAF Police, and it was a move that led to his eventual career in policing.
Throughout his time in the job David often challenged some of the unacceptable attitudes he found among fellow officers, and he always tried to promote more thoughtful, intelligent policing at a time when progressive ideas within the force were generally frowned upon.
He had a socialist outlook and part of his morning routine at Nailsea was to shout "Power to the people!" while punching the air before entering his office. Until his final promotion he spent many years as a representative of the Police Federation.
In his life outside the force, David was keen on athletics and cross-country running, and was an early convert to orienteering when it was introduced as a new sport to the UK. He was still winning age-group orienteering events into his 80s.
He is survived by his wife, Mavis (nee Wilson), whom he married in 1960, by their children, Richard, Sarah and me, and grandchildren Edward, William, Isabella, Alessandra and Teddy.
It is with great sadness I have to inform you that John Morrell former RAF Police Doghandler passed away in his sleep last night. John was in Berlin from 1971 to 74 with me, he was only 70 a great Geordie character we joined up together and remained friends, although he only served for 5 years. RIP Old Pal

From Derek A Jenkins:
I have today received a
telephone call from Paul Watts, the son of Pete Watts, to tell me
that Pete died on Saturday 12th January 2019, after losing his
brave fight with cancer. His family were with him in hospital when
he died, including his other son, who had just arrived at the
hospital from Australia.
Several years ago Pete and Pat, his wife, moved from Lewes, West Sussex, to a retirement flat in Southampton, to live near their daughter. Sadly Pat died about six months after their move there.
I first worked with Pete at RAF Marham in 1958 and later worked with him when we were in British Caledonian Airways Security Services in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Pete and Pat were family friends of Ann and I. Our condolences go out to the family for their loss and may Pete rest in peace and suffer no more.

had passed away at the age of 97. He had no living relatives so
the call went out from a forces charity to ask for people to

Walter was a qualified 'heavy' pilot and
usually drove Stirlings all over Europe in 1944 & 1945, at the
age of 23 he had amassed over 1,000 flying hours.
The turnout was huge, many serving and ex forces attending. His guard of honour into the chapel was formed by the ATC and reserve officers. I did not count the standards, but there was at least 12, amongst them was the standard of the NW Branch of the RAFPA carried by Geoff Durston.

Sad to report that my Mother, formerly Sgt Nancy Stacey WAAF Police (1942-47) passed away this week. At 96 she kept all her memories and, like the majority of her generation, her 5 years Service stayed with her throughout her years. She, together with my Dad, Geoff Miller, were founder members of RAFA Branch in Wimborne, where she proudly became their President. I was very proud to follow her into the Trade and Branch where I served for 37 years.

Have just had a phone call to inform me that sadly former RAFP Dog Handler Alan Perrin has died. Alan and I shared a room together in Aden in 1966. At present I have no further details. RIP
Sid Cole
Last week I reported the passing of Alan Perrin a former RAFP DH. I have just been informed that his funeral will take place at 12.00 on 28th September at Carterton Methodist Church, Burford Road, OX18 3AA ( just down the road from RAF Brize Norton). If anyone who knew Alan, or live in that vicinity, wish to attend they are most welcome.
It is with great sadness that I have to announce the death of former FS Frank Authers BEM at 8pm yesterday. Frank was 98 years old and joined the RAF in August 1938. He served as a butcher and an aircraft fitter during the war and remustered to the RAF Police after the war.
The hardest thing about summarising Frank's full life and times in the RAF, is what to leave out.
He joined the RAF in 1938 at West Drayton, completed 3 months Basic training at Cardington, his dislike of too much exercise was shown early, by hiding in long grass at Cardington with a friend before returning from a run exhausted.
Posted to Warmwell on general duties his butchery background caught up with him.
He volunteered for flying duties and enjoyed flights as a drogue operator but was found to be colour blind which ruled out flying and probably saved his life. He was sent to a Cooks course at Halton and posted to Benson as the first party of airmen when it opened in March 1939.
Sunday 3rd September 1939 he heard the Prime Minister broadcast that war was declared, Frank took his Norton motorbike for ''a nice long ride over the Berkshire Downs''.
A week later the unit moved to France, Frank and his 103 Squadron mates, ill equipped were living in barns east of Rheims enduring a very bitter winter. Following the German onslaught of May 10th 1940, they lost aircraft and suffered air raids, on 21st the Squadron moved west, building up to 31 aircraft. There remained only 16 and only 8 returned to England. The ground crews eventually hearing that the evacuation from Dunkirk had been completed on 4th June. At Nantes they were split into two groups, one going to the ill fated Lancastria at St Nazaire, sunk with the loss of several thousand lives. Frank's group came home to Plymouth 19th June from Brest on a Great Western ferry ship, his main concern that his Mother had no idea if he had survived. Following three days leave he was posted to St Eval.
Frank had almost total recall of life's events, but told me that much of his St Eval time was lost to him, he recalled important bits like his 1935 Ivory Calthorpe, as Cpl i/c night shift he had to collect dispersed people he remembered a WAAF asking him to kiss her awake and getting outside as soon as he could. There were many air raids, leaving for Newquay before one raid a driver told him to change vehicles, both vehicles were hit, Frank did not hear the explosion but his tin hat was blown off, his driver was the only other survivor but badly injured, Frank carried him to safety.
Posted overseas, Frank sailed on a former liner Franconia from Liverpool. The convoy took three months, via Sierra Leone, around the Cape to Durban where he enjoyed two weeks, sailed to Aden where they lay for two weeks, before travelling to Suez.
Frank joined 980 Squadron, a Barrage Balloon Unit, initially guarding the Suez Canal, the main threat was air dropped mines. After some high jinks in Cairo the desert campaign followed. In hospital in Alexandria for a minor ear operation Frank helped medical staff, the Medical officer tried to hang on to him with the excuse he was a bit jaundiced but Frank knew 908 were moving, persuaded him to sign and he was off.
Their small convoy followed the Eighth Army into Libya, (the Western Desert) past El Alamein to Tobruk where Frank's Detachment spent some time, he had to fetch provisions from the Army. From the many shipwrecks they found crates of Whisky and Gin. Frank got very drunk on Gin, was ill, apart from the occasional social drink he hardly touched a drop for the rest of his life. With some spare bottles of Whisky Frank acquired a German Army BMW motorbike and sidecar, using it to fetch rations until Headquarters took it from him, his book abounds with such stories. The Foreword notes - '''A small and begrudged mention to Adolf Hitler, without his intervention in my life you would be reading half a book.''
He was promoted to Sgt Christmas 1942. Frank and his driver Nobby Clarke painted their Chevrolet truck '' Old Kent Road'' with a towed water bowser moved up the desert to rejoin the Squadron in Benghazi and then on to Tripoli sleeping on their vehicle and fetching rations and supplies to keep their Unit moving to Tunis. Having no idea of the destination, their vehicle was the last loaded on a Landing Ship Tank (LST), they lay at anchor for two days, able to swim from the lowered ramp.
The invasion of Sicily was not best organised, Frank and party were unloaded in Palermo harbour, chased from pillar to post by various U S Officers until settling in a lemon grove, well fed from some purloined American rations, until the remainder of the Unit caught up. The Italians surrendered they were loaded on another LST and landed at Salerno, moving to Naples to protect the harbour.
Naples was notorious for vice and criminal activity. With an Italian girl friend he found how the chaperone system worked and like many avoided an Italian bride. He spent some time with Military Police, ideal for his future RAF Trade.
The CO wanted a Jeep, which were in abundance around US units, Frank rather fancied one himself, but had to wait several years. He was sent to Anzio on a landing craft with Squadron supplies, ordered to go ashore find a Jeep and load it for the return voyage, this he did and found another for himself but the Greek Captain claimed as his own- the spoils of war.
Frank was then posted to 249 a Spitfire squadron at Brindisi living under canvas during a cold winter, the Squadron strafing Germans in Jugoslavia. A local village reared Turkeys, Frank organised a barter with 21 Turkeys, fattened them and at Christmas gave the Squadron a Traditional Dinner. With many areas cleared of German occupation the RAF gave several Tiger Moth trainers to the Jugoslavians, Frank enjoyed flying on some of these ferry flights. The squadron had moved to Jugoslavia by VE Day, after which Tito were ordered them out of the country, Frank never had any time for Tito. By September 1945 Frank had a flight home, the only seat on his Lancaster was the rear turret.
He got back in touch and married Sybil his pre war girl friend. While at Hullavington Frank remustered to the RAF Police, based at Filton and enjoying an interesting time seeking out the many Absentees and Deserters within the area. He would also escort Lancaster fuselages on Queen Mary trailers to a Suffolk base, having a bargy with a Colonel Blimp when the convoy disrupted the Racecourse traffic. Spent time on Imber ranges supervising and collecting missile parts, the while enjoying some good rabbiting.
In 1951 he was posted to Germany working on Traffic section, particularly enjoying the use of specially built Ford V8 cars, to escort diplomatic and Service Chiefs in their Rolls Royce cars. The lead Ford broke down one day, allowing the Duke of Edinburgh to put his foot down in a new Mercedes and Frank doing his best to catch him.
Briefly at West Prawl radar station, he was promoted to Flt Sgt and posted to Colerne near Bath for a year before posting to Luqa, Malta. managing a few flights with the Shackleton squadron .
In 1959 he was posted to Abingdon and bought a nearby bungalow., I always had the opinion that it was Frank's favourite station. On the troopship en route Aden he heard he was awarded BEM. Not long afterwards security became a problem on Bahrein. Frank was sent to set up a new security section where he had a married quarter and where the family could enjoy leaves in Mombasa.
He had a short spell at Melksham until it closed and was then posted to the sharp end, on a V Bomber Station Scampton. He considered this the only unhappy time of his whole service life, only enjoying the rare armed escort of a Blue Steel Missile back to the Manufacturers in Manchester.
In July 1966 Frank was posted unaccompanied to RAF Seletar on Singapore island, being on shift he had enough spare time to start playing Golf and regular swimming. Via a friend he had a trip in a Beverley to Hong KONG and Bangkok.
Offered a chance he completed his tour on the island Station Gan. The Pakistani labour force were rotated via Argosy flights to Karachi, Frank responsible for Customs would some time take this flight, often delayed in Karachi, by dint of a gift bottle of Whisky to the Chief Customs officer the RAF were given priority.
The RAF Navigation Staff world tour flew via Gan. Everything possible was done to disguise Gan as their next stop Cocos Islands 1800 miles away, equipment hidden Air Traffic emblazoned WELCOME TO COCOS ISLANDS, marshalling airmen blacked up and wearing grass skirts often easy to confuse a Navigator, but this was a laugh..
Frank finished his service at RAF Spitalgate, the WRAF training depot, serving on Special Investigation 3 RAF District. some very interesting work but he took his Golden Bowler in 1968.
In the words of the late Brian Ransley's Foreword ''Three decades of fun and frights came to an end''
A fine man who I feel privileged to have known.
John's tribute at the funeral:
My name is John Walton and I was in the RAF Police from 1959 and so I served at the same time as Frank for some nine years, as he retired in 1968. During those 9 years I never met Frank, although I did hear hear of him during his last years as an RAF Police Senior NCO, and what stories I heard!!!.
I started to organise the South West
Area Branch of the RAF Police Association in 1998, so it was
30 years after Frank left the service that I first met him. The inaugural meeting of the Branch
took place upstairs in the RAF Association Club in
Frank and a few other old servicemen
immediately settled into the Branch routine.
Our meetings in
The Branch organised the Association
annual reunion in 2002, at the
Frank twice arranged for the Branch to visit the Commando training camp opposite his house. After an impressive parade, Frank invited us over the road for a BBQ and a swim in his pool. We were without exception fascinated with all the various vehicles that Frank had made. From AA motor cycles and sidecars to full and small sized RAF Police Land Rovers. Everything was made to perfection and with great attention to detail.
Frank made a life sized figure dressed as an RAF Police Flight Sergeant in full uniform. He used to put it near the main road indicating where to turn into his estate. At the end of one of the visits, I went out and put the figure over my shoulder and carried it back into Frank's garage. Frank took one look at me and called "well theres' a first! For those not aware there is a so-called understanding that Senior NCOs like Frank always carried the officers throughout their service. Here was I retired officer carrying the Flight Sergeant. Of course Frank's comment went down very well with the crowd still around the BBQ.
A third event showing Frank's quick wit, happened when Frank made me and another visiter, bacon sarnies in his kitchen. I asked for tomato sauce and when Frank handed me the bottle, I shook it violently, but forgot to hold on to the top. It flew off and the contents went all over the kitchen and all over my sweater!!! Frank immediately said "I don't suppose you had bottles in the Officers Mess!!"
On a more serious note, when the RAF Police Memorial was dedicated in the National Memorial Arboretum, in Staffordshire, Frank was in the front row marching with other World War 2 veterans.
Even more impressive was Frank taking
a full part in the annual parade at the Cenotaph. Frank was well into his 80s, when
along with the other 10,000 ex-servicemen, he waited on Horse
Guards Parade and
Frank spent 30 years in the RAF and
some 50 years in retirement so in his words, he beat the
system. In retirement he was
probably more active than during the peacetime RAF Police. He was an entrepenure involving
himself and son John in many enterprises, most of which were
highly successful. One of these
was at
I doubt if any of us know anyone else who lived such a long, full and varied life as Frank.
One of his many admirers is Group Captain Kevin Bailey, Provost Marshal Emeritus. This is praise indeed as our RAF Provost marshals are not known for their generous praise!!I know I speak for all here when I say Frank in one way or another enlivened our lives and we will miss him. Frank I hope you are in that great Guardroom in the sky with a polished RAF Police Land Rover outside. Thank you for sharing your long life with us and we all wish you the very best, wherever you are.

My oldest friend died recently. Ex-RAFP Doghandler, Alan Johnston. He only served for three years, Jan '70 - Jun '73. We were at school together. Knocked about after school years and joined up together. After training he was posted to Waddington while I was on 'D' Unit. In Dec '70 I was posted to Kai Tak. Two months later he followed me. He served 14 years in the ambulance service, before getting into the pub trade. He subsequently moved out to Koh Samui, Thailand in '95. He came back to UK in March of this year for treatment for skin cancer. Unfortunately, in that battle, he came second. He wasn't a member of the Associates, despite numerous promptings by me. His coffin was returned 'home' to Koh Samui where he is buried. He is survived by his Thai wife and stepson. Rest in Peace, my friend.

It is with personal sadness that I must inform you of the death of Cyril Hales, a member of the Wiltshire Branch of the RAFPA. Cyril had major surgery several years ago, after being diagnosed with stomach cancer, but this year the cancer returned and was inoperable. He was 64 years of age.
Cyril joined the RAF in 1976 and he was serving as a Sgt SI, P&SS (Southern Region) at RAF Rudloe Manor, when, in 1989, he left to join Avon and Somerset Police. Cyril loved motorcycling and, after retirement from the Police, he became a volunteer 'Blood Biker', delivering emergency blood products, medicines and organs for donation, across the country.
There will be no funeral service, at Cyril's request, but his widow, Jane, hopes to arrange a get together later in the year, in his memory.

I have worked alongside the participants, and started with a small counted thread piece which I brought back from Dubrovnik.
Initially each person chose a textile, used words to describe them before making some quick sketches.
We then worked with twigs, sponges, feathers etc. making marks using Indian Ink.
The next session was used to colour varied papers, such as brown paper, greaseproof, magazine pages etc... We then looked at ways of making stamps to transfer the designs from the initial doodles and mark making.
This is my final design.

How To Look Beautiful Without Makeup?

- Drink plenty of water ,I always try to finish a litre of water in the morning and a litre at night
- Stick to a consistent skincare routine ,I have a skincare routine on my blog
- Exfoliating is Key ,some of my best tools is using my vanity planet spinning brush 2-3 a week or my Mario Badescu honey and kiwi scrub .
- Drink Green Tea ,Squeeze out most of the water and rub the bag over your face for a few minutes for an instant glow. Yes, a green tea rinse is good for your mane as well and gives your hair a great shine. Put a few green teabags in boiling water and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Leave it overnight
- Give your Face a Massage once a month
- Deal with those stubborn pimples the right way
- Cut down of junk food

There are many reasons why I adore the blog Kevin & Amanda, and I will tell you those reasons, but before I get ahead of myself, I simply have to show you this…
Words could just not do that justice. Ever. That is the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie n' Fudge Oreo Brownie Bar from Kevin & Amanda. THAT alone is reason to keep up with all of the great things Amanda shares on Kevin & Amanda. I kind of feel like it deserves a moment of silence…
Okay, now I must focus and get back to the spotlight. On Kevin & Amanda, Amanda shares her fabulous recipes, as well as her travels (always with stunning photos), a fabulous collection of free fonts, all kinds of great things for house and home and her ADORABLE Boston Terriers Miley & Howie.
Okay, now for some recipes! Amanda has so many delicious recipes, but I've picked out a few that would be great for edible gifts.
Let's start with Candy Dipped Peanut Butter Ritz Sandwiches. The combo of chocolate, buttery yet salty crackers and peanut butter is incredible. If you have never tried these, you must!
How about Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Treats Pralines? Wow, they sound REALLY good.
I could never say no to Cookie Dough Pops! I will definitely be making, and most likely eating (okay absolutely eating) these for Christmas!
Amanda and her neighbor, All Artful, made the most beautiful Caramel Apple Macarons With Cinnamon Apple Butter Buttercream for Thanksgiving (what are the chances I could get a house on their block???). Their macarons are so delicate and lovely, and there is just something wonderfully whimsical about them.
She even made some into pops. How can you not love this girl???
Looking for a dessert to bring to a holiday party that is simple to make yet sure to impress? May I suggest Amanda's Frosted Candy Bar Stuffed Cookie Cups?
Amanda made them with her g-o-r-g-e-0-u-s red KitchenAid. Just like the one you can win in my KitchenAid Giveaway! 🙂
I could really spend hours upon hours on Amanda's blog. There is just so much to see, so much creativity and fabulous inspiration and of course her to die for photography. Thanks Amanda for sharing so many wonderful and beautiful things with your readers!

Android devices are everywhere, if you don't have an iPhone, chances are you have an Android phone, more and more manufacturers are now bundling their phones with the great Android software from Google. Due to this there is an ever increasing demand to use a VPN service on an Android device.
While you can download a VPN app for OpenVPN and Android devices themselves let you set up manual basic VPN connections such as PPTP, most of us have become accustomed to downloading apps that do most of the job for us in a quick and easy manner.
So to save the hassle of setting up configuration files for a mass of servers there are a few handy apps that take out all of the hassle of setting up a VPN on your Android device and allow you to get protected and secure with minimal fuss.
So if you're looking for 3 easy to use Android VPN apps then look no further, I'll take you through three of the best.
The IPVanish Android app is one of the least complicated Android VPN apps on the market. Once you've signed up for an IPVanish account, all you need to do is download the app from the Play Store. On launching the app you're faced with a simple screen that displays a selection of servers. These can be sorted by response time and country. Select a server to connect to, enter your login/password and away you go.
Once connected you're then protected and secure on your Android device. While the app isn't feature rich, it also makes it extremely easy to use and uncomplicated for the novice. If you want to protect your phone in a quick manner without being bogged down by too many options then the IPVanish app is definitely for you.
The Android app offered by VyprVPN is one of the most pleasing to the eye, it is also another that is really easy to use and has been made with one touch connection in mind.
When running the app, you are given the option to select a country server and then can make connection with one touch of the screen. The app has slightly more features than some of the other Android apps but is still extremely easy to use and works without any set-up required. For novices and those who don't want to spent time configuring, it is well worth taking a look at.
VyprVPN have built in their Chameleon mode, so if you're in China their app will even allow you to bypass the great firewall of China!
HideMyAss are one of the most well known and beginner friendly VPN providers. Up until recently they lacked an Android VPN app, even though they had one for every other system. Within the past 6 months they launched their own Android VPN app on to the market.
HMA are loved by hundreds of thousands of customers worldwide and their venture in the the Android market only makes connection to their service even easier than before. If you're after a simple solution to make a VPN connection on an Android device from a provider that is well loved, then considering HideMyAss could be a worthwhile avenue.

Currently Reading: Still on Love At First Bight...and due to the purchase of my lovely e-reader (see below), I was able to make it up to chapter sixteen:) I've read in the car, at the kitchen table, and curled up in bed.
March Reading Schedule:
-Blue Gold by Lindsay Townsend
-The Art of Losing by Lisa Troy
-Blue by Maddie James
-The Oath, #3 by Adrianne Brennan
-Edge of Nowhere by Regina Carlysle
And here's what I plan to buy this month:
Unexpected Mr. Right-Kelley Nyrae
In The Dark-Rob Graham
Golden Opportunity- Donna Marie Rogers
Body Candy-Taylor Tryst
Ral's Woman-Laurann Dohner
Strip Poker for Two- April Ashe
The Gift-Rob Graham
Mitch- Dakota Rebel
First of all, Happy 6th Birthday to W, my baby:) He's growing up fast. He's getting a 'big boy bike' today after school; one that does NOT have a cartoon character plastered all over it, and one which should take him at least into the double-digit milestone before we have to buy a new one.
He's also passing out cupcakes this afternoon, as soon as Mom goes to the store and drops them off at his classroom. He has another wrestling match, and then we're taking him to the Mexican restaurant so he can wear the sombrero and be serenaded by the wait staff. And of course, the all-important birthday cards and calls from relatives. I'll post pics on Wednesday:)
E-book Bliss
I had a couple of people greet me on Saturday and exclaim, "Oh, you've got the e-reader! Where did you get it? And do you like it?"
I LOVE it! No more pacing the floor, waiting for a kid to relinquish a computer. I can read in bed again. I don't have to worry about crumbs in my keyboard, since I can read at the kitchen table while I eat lunch, if I choose. I can read during long trips, if I'm not driving, lol:)
And yes, discovered how to delete the unwanted files, so once I hit that 350 book capacity, I can shuffle files around. And somewhere I read the battery should hold a charge for up to two weeks. I don't have the adapter yet, so that's the next accessory I'll purchase. And try to find another cover; the current one is black, and blends in too much with my briefcase. I had a moment of panic Saturday night when I couldn't find it. It had slipped down further and since I was trying to find it by touch alone, my fingers failed to 'see' it, since it wasn't at the top where I had left it!
Olympic Update:
Canada beat the US in Men's Hockey!
Final Medal Count:
Germany: 30
Canada: 26
Due to our hectic weekend (my signing and attending a special BSA's 100th year of Scouting), all of Saturday's and last night's festivities are still on my DVR. Hopefully I'll be able to watch it this week!
Latest Update on Step-daughter:
I didn't talk to her last night, but S reported she's undergoing surgery later this week. I'll talk to her later today; I really don't think the kids can afford to lose another week of school, esp if they are taking Terre Nova tests. I may have to pack a bag and move up there until she gets out of the hospital. Keep your fingers crossed the SU agrees!

*Disclaimer: This post is a non-paid collaboration with Revolution Bars. All opinions are my own.
There's going to be two different reactions to the fact I'm already talking about Christmas: some people will be rolling their eyes at this point thinking it is WAY too early to even be touching on this topic but then there'll be lots of people who can not wait to start talking Christmas and I'm definitely one of those people, so let's get started.
Now, if you're not familiar with Revolution Bars then first of all, where have you been? But if you haven't then Revolution is a chain of bars/restaurants in the UK with locations in cities and towns in England, Wales and Scotland, including my home town of Macclesfield.
Although I spend a lot of time (too many Saturday nights) in my local Revolution, drinking cocktails and dancing with my friends, we also love to head to one of the four Revolution bars in Manchester when we're day drinking or on a night out in the city.
The Revolution bars in Manchester are bigger (and possibly even better) than my local, so although they're all decorated very similarly and have pretty much the same food and drink menus, it still feels extra special to head to one of the Manchester branches, so when it comes to Christmas time, we will definitely be taking a trip into the city for a little Revs date.
A lot of people don't know that Revolution do food full stop but even people that do know you can eat at a Revolution don't realise how BIG they go at Christmas. You can actually book to go to any Revolution bar that serves food, including all 4 of the Manchester locations and have a full 3 course Christmas dinner… even if you're gluten free.
If you're wondering about dining at your local Revs this Christmas then I've done the hard work for you, scoured their festive menu and worked out what us gluten free foodies can enjoy during our visit:
So, to kick start the meal there's two gluten free starters on the Christmas menu and I am very pleased to report, neither of them involve melon… the classic gluten free starter!
Option 1 is the Sweet Potato and Harissa Soup which is actually a refreshing change to tomato or leek and potato but still relatively simple and classic, so I'm confident everyone will like this.
The other option is smoked salmon and prawns with harissa sour cream and beetroot dressing which is a relatively classic seafood starter with a little extra special twist with the unique dressing.
Both of these dishes are naturally gluten free which I personally like opposed to being given gluten free alternatives to 'normal foods'.
Unfortunately, the classic turkey dinner isn't a gluten free option but for meat eaters, the short rib of beef is gluten free, served with goose fat roast potatoes, balsamic roasted red onions, carrots, parsnips, Brussel sprouts and their rich beef gravy. I personally prefer beef to turkey anyway and I know a lot of people that feel the same, so I'd be more than happy to have a beef dinner over a turkey one.
If you'd prefer fish, the other gluten free option for main courses is the grilled hake fillet with a roasted red pepper and pesto sauce and new potatoes, also served with the carrots, parsnips and sprouts. I personally don't like fish, so I'd never opt for this but I know so many people like to choose a fish main, even at Christmas, so this is perfect.
The only comment I would make on the main courses is that the vegetarian option isn't labelled as gluten free so if you're vegetarian/vegan and gluten free then you may struggle but I'm sure you could ask your local Revolution about adapting the dish to make it suitable for gluten free.
Now as expected, the gluten free pudding options are limited but the good news is, the gluten free dessert on the three course menu is NOT a chocolate brownie or a fruit salad, so that is definitely a positive.
The gluten free dessert is a raspberry and prosecco sorbet with fresh raspberries and raspberry sauce which for me, if it has prosecco in it, I'm happy to give it a go and to be honest, this sounds really light and refreshing which after two quite heavy courses, that is just what you need.
As well as a three course menu, there is also a Christmas buffet menu which can be used for Christmas parties hosted at Revolution Bars and there are three non-gluten containing savoury options on the menu which are:
- Smoked salmon and prawns with harissa sour cream and dressed leaves
- Chickpea humous with celery and red pepper sticks
- Mini baked potatoes with sour cream and chive
Although the selection is pretty small, two of them are vegetarian which is great because it means they're more likely to suit more guests. Unfortunately, none of the sweet dishes on the Christmas buffet are gluten free, so if you are attending a Christmas party at Revs and you have a sweet tooth, you might want to throw a gluten free cake in your bag!
As for price, the three-course Christmas menu is from £18.95 per person at lunch and from £25.95 per person at dinner and the buffet is from £13.95 per person which I think is pretty standard prices for a high street restaurant, if not actually quite affordable.
On a Coeliac note, Revolution are not Coeliac UK accredited and their menu is advertised as having 'non gluten containing' options opposed to gluten free which is the same as many other restaurants. As with all cooking environments where gluten containing meals are made as well as gluten free, there is a risk of contamination but as most establishments do, Revolution Bars do try to be as careful in the kitchen as they can to keep things separate.
As always, I would recommend telling your server at your local bar where you're eating that you are Coeliac and explain precautions you need to be taken when preparing your food.
So, if you're local to me then I say it's time we enjoy good food and party together this Christmas! To find out more about their Christmas parties in Manchester, head to the Revolution website now!
