What do you want to read about?
So I have a few blog posts in the pipeline that I’m currently working on, but wondered what you- yes you really want to read about. So I have created a poll so that people can vote on what they would like to see on here, as you are my readers I feel it makes sense to ask what you like.
So please, vote, let me know. If there is none of your preferred answers- leave a comment, let me know. Thanks! 🙂

2013 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,800 times in 2013. If it were a cable car, it would take about 47 trips to carry that many people.

2012 in review
The lovely people here at WordPress created an annual review of my blog. I found this quite interesting to see what people are actually looking at overall. I check my stats quite a lot, but am often just looking to see what people were looking at this week. I’ve shared this here just in case anyone else wishes to read it. I doubt it, but maybe you might. It made me think about how few posts I’ve written in the past few months though, and has inspired me to start blogging again more regularly.
Here’s an excerpt:
600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 4,300 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 7 years to get that many views.

Fire And Stone
Christmas Pizza- A little bit late I know, but still.
Just before Christmas a group of us who contribute to the Young and Poor had our Christmas dinner at Fire and Stone. For those of you who don’t know the restaurant it specialises in very odd pizzas. For example, curry on pizza. Their standard pizza menu is divided up into continents, and the toppings are what you would expect to eat in that continent.
Thier Christmas special pizza had Turkey, gravy, roast potatoes, stuffing, cranberry and brie toppings. Even to those who that didn’t sound nice to- we were all intrigued!
So we booked a table for the restuarant in Sptialfields market, bought our own crackers, and sat down for some festive fun.
As is always the way with this group their was lots of giggling and laughing about silly things. We had a selection of their starters including calamari and crispy wonton king prawns which were very nice.
The pizza was so much better than I imagined it to be. It just worked. I was a little bit aprehensive about what the combination would taste like, but also quite excited as I love Christmas dinner, and I love pizza. And it didn’t dissapoint.
The gravy was spread like you would normally spread tomato puree on the base, and then thin slices of turkey layered up like cheese or pepperoni. The cranberry sauce and brie complimented it really well and made sure that it didnt taste too dry.
Sadly this pizza is only a Christmas special, but if you like the sound of these combinations it is definately worth a visit.
