Good, but not the complex flavours for which I was hoping. This may be helped with the addition of lime zest.

Downgrade

Well the 'upgrade' to blogger 2.0 hasn't gone too well. I've lost all my graphics and the new XML template is really difficult for a novice like me to edit.

So I've taken the opportunity to re brand and open the blog up a bit. I'm still going to be selfish and write this for my own benefit, but will now cover travel planing and experiences as well.
