Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
Autumn means one thing – Pumpkin Spice and what a better way to enjoy it than in a Pumpkin Spice cupcake! I love this time of year. It starts to get cooler. The leaves fall off the trees and then Starbucks brings out the Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Then you know its only a matter of time before the red cups come out and that we are on our way to Christmas. This year I have been Pumpkin picking and what better way to use those delicious pumpkins than in a Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes cake recipe. This recipe is one of the nicest cupcakes I have made.

Ilkeston Fair and Grantham Gingerbreads
Being from Nottingham and now living in Ilkeston October can only mean one thing – fair season. Goose fair is normally the first Weds-Sunday in October and then the Ilkeston fair is the third week (always 2 weeks after Goose-fair). These days I do not tend to bother with the Goose-fair, although its one of Europe’s most renowned travelling fairs, we have the Ilkeston one right on our doorstep so its an easy choice.
