Warner Bros Studio Tour London

Hi everyone,
So I thought I would write a blog about my trip to the Warner Bros Studio Tour London (which is actually in Watford outside London). I have quite an obsession with the Harry Potter franchise and I could honestly not tell you how many times I have read the books or seen the films.

I had an amazing day at the studio tour there was so much to see and if you are a fan its a must see. I went along to the studio on a coach trip which was taking us to several different places in and around London. The coach trip allowed us 3 hours and 30 minutes in the studio. For me it definitely wasn't enough time to see everything. I was almost running around it so that I could see it all and I still didn't, so I will be making a return visit to the studio, but not with the bus tour.

There is a bus you can get from London which is very handy though as you just get on the bus at London it takes you there and you get back on the the bus and it takes you back. I believe it is the same allocated time 3 hours 30 minutes.

 So anyway I don't want to tell everything and ruin it so I have just included a few photos of my trip. You do have to book a time and date for your trip as they only allow so many people in  at any given time to allow everyone to be able to move freely and see everything, but you can stay as long as you want. To book follow this link  http://www.wbstudiotour.co.uk/en?gclid=CNndosjW0sUCFUv3wgodqz8Aog 




The castle is an amazing sight.




There is plenty to see outside  as well (thank goodness we had a dry day).


PS you must try the butterbeer

Hope you liked my post about the Warner Bros Studio Tour London and any Harry fans should definitely go and see it. Comment below if you have and what your favourite part was. My favourite bit has defiantly got to be going onto the green screen on a broomstick.

Chewy Chocolate Cookies

So I know I have been neglecting my blog for the past three weeks (I had exams) but I am back and hope you will forgive me with this delicious chewy chocolate cookie recipe.

Ingredients
50g of butter
450g dark chocolate (chopped)
2 eggs
170g soft brown sugar
1/4 tsp of vanilla extract
85g of plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder

Method
Line two baking trays and turn the oven to 170C, 325F or Gas mark 3.

Put the butter and half the chocolate into a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water do not let the base of the bowl touch the water. Leave until melted and smooth.

Put the eggs, sugar and vanilla extract into a mixer with the paddle attachment and beat until well combined, pour in the chocolate mixture while on a slow speed.

Sift the flour baking powder and salt into a bowl and mix into the chocolate mix in 3 separate additions. Add the remains chocolate and place 12 equal amounts into the prepared baking trays. 

Then bake for 10-15 minutes or until the tops start to crack and look glossy leave to cool slightly on the trays before setting onto cooling racks.
