SD Transflash Adapter/Memory Card

Advantages: Can be used in most electronic equipment
Disadvantages: Very small so can be lost easily

... Overview I first bought this SD card for storage on my mobile phone. I hadn't ever used a transflash adapter before and I did have to do a bit of research to find out what the two parts were for. Basically, the smaller part (see picture) can be put into phones and other small electrical products and can store up to 128MB worth of data (or more if you buy a card with a greater capacity). The beauty of the transflash adapter however, is the fact that the little memory card can be put into the larger adapter and then used on larger electrical equipment such as a computer or a PS3. Advantages This gives many advantages. The small memory card can be permanently placed inside the adapter and used for storage as you would with a USB memory stick. You could also transfer photos/music/videos from your computer/PS3 to...

Brilliant Bread Every Time - Panasonic SD 254

Advantages: The best bread you will ever taste, on a timer just ready in time for breakfast.
Disadvantages: If you can't wait since it smells so good... you might burn your fingers like me!

...This Panasonic SD 254 bread maker was a spur-of-the-moment impulse buy from Macro when it was on special offer about a year ago, for £50. My mother needs to eat a gluten-free diet which means she cannot eat regular bread but with this machine she has been able to create loaves both from a gluten-free bread book and also just herself from the skill she has honed with this machine. I have tried both the shop bought and homemade wheat-free bread and there is no comparison, hands down the Panasonic SD 254 wins. When purchased the box was extremely heavy as this machine contains a lot of mixing equipment which has been cast in metal to make it will last under the pressure of mixing thick dough. Protected by polystyrene box inserts the machine came along with a small measuring cup, spoon and the usual user's guide as well as a warranty card...

Memories are made of this.

Advantages: A charming, easy read
Disadvantages: You don't want to put it down

... THE MEMORY GARDEN RACHEL HORE If you are looking for a good read, a book that you don't want to put down. A book full of romance set in a beautifully described Cornwall and set over a hundred year period, then Rachel Hore's delightful book, 'The Memory Garden' is the one for you. This is a story that is based at a tiny unspoilt bay in Cornwall - Lamorna Cove . The story twists cleverly between two stories, 100 years apart. The Memory Garden tells the story of two women, born a 100 years apart, but whose lives seem so much the same In the present time Mel Pentreath goes to get over her mother's death and the end of a love affair. 100 years ago Lamorna Bay was habited by a group of local artists.

Review of The Memory Garden - Rachel Hore

Thanks for the memories

Advantages: A good read with excellent characters.
Disadvantages: Cannot think of any.

...to give a lecture to. He is also trying to impress her. After the blood transfusion, Joyce begins to experience deja vu everytime she sees Justin. It is as if she knows him, and she starts to experience some of his memories. The story is quite far fetched, that somebody can receive a pint of somebody's blood and know all about their memories, but the author has done it in such a way that you don't feel that it is far fetched, or fantasy in any way. What I loved about the story were some of the characters. Joyce's dad is a complete character, and I wouldn't mind seeing this story in film just to see this character alone. He gives the impression that he is old and daft, but he is more together than you think. Also, Justin's sister-in-law, Doris, is an American who wears leopardskin everything (even leopardskin nailpolish) - I...

Review of Thanks for the Memories - Cecelia Ahern

Thanks for the memory

Advantages: The value of these completed books is priceless
Disadvantages: None

...How much do you know about your grandparents' lives, what was your Mum and Dad's childhood like ? If the answer is 'not a lot' or 'don't know' this can all be easily rectified with this incredible little journal. This is a 156 pages spiral bound book - Grandparents' Memories. The pages ask questions, have charming illustrations and have blank pages waiting for you to make your mark on history. These books were created and designed by Julie Pinnell, mum of 2. Julie had the idea after losing all her grandparents by her teens. Her first book was handwritten by her parents for her family; the idea was so popular that Julie created Priceless Treasures Ltd to market the books. These books are so easy to fill in and are a pleasure to read afterwards; they make a fantastic present either for the grandparents to complete...

Review of Grandparents' Memories (Journal) - Julie Pinnell

Memories

Advantages: Classics, original, music from the Stones Hayday
Disadvantages: Too old for some

...tell you how it's gonna be, We're gonna have Lamb Chops for tea. It's strange what stays with you over the years isn't it? The next dozen or so tracks moved on a little in time but still remained in the 1960's. Many of these tracks such as Satisfaction, The Last Time and Paint it Black I had bought out of my pocket money as 45 singles. You know the old, small vinyl records. In fact I still have most of these but they are well worn, a little jumpy and mostly mono so the quality is a little raw. It was good to here these tracks in pristine fashion although the more earthy sound seems more authentic. The final tracks move on to the late sixties and into the 1970's. Unless my aged memory is playing tricks on me I think that is as far as we move in time with this CD. This suits me as I feel that The Rolling Stones were at their peak...

Fond Memories of last year!

Advantages: An amazing night with many fond memories with my family.
Disadvantages: None!

... Fond memories of Bonfire Night Every year since I was a young girl, my family has celebrated bonfire night, getting a small box of garden fireworks and sparklers, with my dad setting them off in the back yard while we all sat in our hats scarfs and gloves watching at the other end of the yard! Usually with a glass of wine in our hand!!! (of course this was much later on in my life!). But I think my most memorable bonfire night was actually last year, when me and my husband went to my parents in Lancaster. They live in a beautiful little village on the outskirts of the hustle and bustle of the city, called Glasson Dock. And all around are other little villages just like it, they live on a Holiday Home site called Marina, where fireworks are the work of the devil and are banned (even sparklers!) so the usual tradition...

Be Amazed at A Maze of Memories

Advantages: Great staff and stock
Disadvantages: Desire to spend too much money!

...As some of you will know I am a keen Scrapbooker and spend much of my free time on this craft ( when I am not on Dooyoo or Ciao!). There are lots of online craft suppliers but there are relatively few craft shops that you are able to actually visit. I am very lucky to have an absolute gem almost on my doorstep so I thought I would tell everyone about it and there maybe some crafters amongst you that would be able to pay it a visit--you would not regret it (although your bank balance might!) Location A Maze of Memories is set just outside Long Crendon on the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire border.It is easily accesible from Bicester and Aylesbury. It is in a unit on Woodway farm. This means that the parking is easy and free and you can watch sheep in the fields out of the window whilst waiting for creative inspiration...

Review of A Maze Of Memories, Buckinghamshire

Magical Memories

Advantages: Allows you to keep track of babys development
Disadvantages: Need to allow ink to dry properly before moving to next page

...I've never made any apologies for the fact that I'm a very sentimental person, as my children have grown up over these last 4 years I've amassed a large collection of those things I simply couldn't part with- the first tiny pair of socks they wore, the baby grow they wore the night they were born, the bands that were around their feet in the hospital???.the list goes on. When I was younger I always enjoyed looking through the "baby's first year" books that my mum had filled in for me and my siblings, it was lovely being able to look back in time and see how we all grew and progressed. When I had children of my own I wanted them to be able to do the same thing and made sure that with each pregnancy I purchased a memory book that we could fill in as they grew and that would allow me and my husband remember the early days as well as let...

Review of Baby's Record Keeper and Memory Box - Kerren Barbas

School memories

Advantages: n/a
Disadvantages: n/a

...It is my 200th review on here and I wanted to do something a little bit different. As I haven't written a Ciao Café review for some time I thought that it would be a nice change. This topic caught my eye seeing as I am now almost qualified as a teacher and wanted to reflect back on my own school experience! So, the following are a selection of my ten best school memories. The last one isn't so much a best memory rather than an embarrassingly funny one. The frog skeleton My year one teacher was a lovely lady named Mrs Keavney. She was very into wildlife and therefore many of our lessons would end up outside in the schools wildlife area or investigating nature in some way. She was keen on us to bring things in to show the rest of the class, so I was delighted when one day we discovered a perfect frog skeleton in my greenhouse...
