Cult Classic Cookies: The Prisoner!

There's definitely a theme occurring here on Sweet Petite! As you probably already know I'm a bit of a telly addict! And I may have mentioned my love of the new Hawaii 5-0 once or twice!

My new favourite, is ironically one of the oldest shows I'd ever watched! How I've gone all my life without watching The Prisoner is beyond me. It's a brilliant British Classic! Surreal, very 60s and a total mind bender but brilliant all the same!

A big thank you to my colleague Lisa who introduced me to it by lending me her DVDs!

If you're unfamiliar with The Prisoner it is centred around a spy (played by the amazing Patrick McGoohan) who resigns his job for an unknown reason but before he leaves for sunnier climes he is gassed and brought to 'The Village' a very sinister place. No one is allowed to leave, everyone is watched and all are assigned a number. Our main character is number 6. And the powers that be want to know why he resigned his job and 'by hook or by crook' they try to crack 6 and find that out.

You can get a feel for it here:

I totally love this show and with only 17 episodes ever made, I recommend anyone give it a try.

Anyway, enough of me rambling! Onto the biscuits!!.....

Happy St George's Day!

Happy St George's day to all my fellow Englishmen (and women)!!!

In honour of the day I made, what else? St George Cross flags and Red Rose biscuits and cupcakes. Very patriotic!

...and I'm not really enjoying one of these cupcakes as I type with a nice cup of coffee, honestly I'm not! Cupcakes and coffee!! not very English I know, but I hate tea!! Ssshhh no one tell the Queen, I'll end up in the Tower!! ;)

Bring on the Bunnies: Happy Easter!!

I don't care how chilly it is outside.... I've made the bunnies!  And the chicks, and the Easter eggs! Fingers crossed for some sunshine outside to go with them!!!

 

Happy Easter folks!

Cookie British Weather!!

So I started to think of posts for Easter the other day! Bunnies, bonnets, eggs and all other things spring like. Then I looked out of the window! Drizzle & clouds! Well that's hardly Spring-like! Although I'm really not at all surprised by this, I couldn't bring myself to start all the lovely Easter-y stuff just yet. So what else could I do? Drizzle and clouds of course!!
