Mainz to Basel (no longer available)

The guide was not well prepared with maps and the boat kept changing docking locations. The Rhine is very industrial from Basel to Mainz. The rides were not very interesting or long. It was not one of your better offers.

Provence - Wilderness of Camargue
by Christel Mikelic 3 years ago • Permalink/Reply
The bike part was more challenging than in the discription. You have to be a strong biker used to hills. There are many hills and one very challenging hill. So I would not consider this an easy tour as in the description. However it was well worth the effort if you are well trained. Our guide Wiro was awesome and kept us together and on time which was very much appreciated. I would recommends this trip in spring or early summer. By the time we went end of August the vegetation was all dried up and there were no flowers because they had such a hot dry summer. I prefer a comfort plus boat as you have more space in your cabin. These cabins were very small. However all in all it was a beautiful, historic and worth while tr which I would recommend to avid cyclists.

Pearls of the Alsace Wine Route

Only real complaint was the signage throughout the route. More route markers would have been very helpful and prevented us from getting lost several times.

Pearls of the Alsace Wine Route

We started with the book with maps and directions. Although it was pretty good, we got lost a couple times with that. I think on the 3rd day we met the woman who wrote the directions and she got us the file for my Garmin. That gave us turn by turn directions with no mistakes. Everyone we met was very pleasant. The trip was great. The bikes were a bit heavy.

by Lois Requist 3 years ago • Permalink/Reply
The guides are young and very athletic. People who sign up for this level of bicycling aren't usually top bikers, unless they are doing it to be with friends or spouse. I think a bit more thought could be put into the introductory ride the first day, bridge crossings, sudden merging into traffic, sudden turns to go steeply uphill. I've done much longer bike rides, but at this age, I didn't want that much challenge.

Heart of Alsace (no longer available)
by Eileen Schuler 3 years ago • Permalink/Reply
I broke my arm 3 weeks before our trip to Alsace so was not able to bike; instead of cancelling my husband and I decided to go anyway and we are so glad we did. We would never have discovered the lovely town of Osthouse and especially the beautiful renovated Hotel de la Ferme; we discovered some beautiful walks in the region, over meadows, woods and rivers. L'Hotel de la Ferme is very charming with a lovely garden and a ping pong table which we had fun with. The dining area at the hotel was very comfortable with a delicious, plentiful breakfast buffet; fruit of every kind, cheeses, breads and cakes. Lunch was always a hearty piece of french bread with butter and cheese! And dinner, 2 nights at the hotel and the rest of the evenings at the Aigle d'Or, a 4 star restaurant which has been in the family for 40 years, were always a fun surprise and delicious.
Our room was on the second floor with a balcony and was very spacious, especially by European standards. Bathroom, sitting area, beds, everything comfortable, clean and very quiet. Our hosts could not have been nicer. They offered to pick us up and bring us back to the train for a small fee and took us to an amazing modern museum in Erstein. All in all a wonderful vacation!

I was pleased with the points of interest on the tour (Strasbourg, Heidelberg, Colmar, Breisach), however, the route was very industrial at times and there was just nothing special about it. The maps and route descriptions were terrible and I'd say that was the number one complaint of fellow passengers. I talked to the guide and he said they will redo the route for next year so hopefully with some changes, it will be much better.

The boat itself is nothing remarkable, but quite comfortable and clean. The staff was amazingly friendly. Route descriptions were sparse in some sections so there was some guessing involved. The maps themselves didn't have any road names on them if you did get lost they were of no use. We honestly didn't rely on the maps/route descriptions as much as the info from our daily meetings with the tour guide. There were good and bad days as far as scenery on the rides, a few days were pretty boring with not a lot to look at, while others were quite beautiful. We docked within walking distance to town on all days except one (where you had the option of one lonely restaurant). On board you are provided with maps and flyers for each overnight town. The bikes were super heavy and cumbersome (not bikes I am used to) but this is the norm in Europe. The food on board was excellent. I would recommend this trip as I know the routes are being reviewed and descriptions/maps updated.

Loire Valley Bike and Boat
by Laurie Frarey 3 years ago • Permalink/Reply
There seemed to be tension between the owners of the barge and guy doing the cooking, cleaning and maintenance. The guy was trying to do the job of more than 2 people by himself. One day when he needed help with a cranky generator the captain was in a bar. We did not get clean towels half way through as promised. I have been on 2 bike and barge trips and this had the worst staff. The guide was good but left slower riders at several critical junctures. It did not happen often. Seems the system works best when the owner is captain. Means he is present and accountable.

Bruges to Paris or Paris to Bruges
by Gordon Maze 3 years ago • Permalink/Reply
We highly recommend the Paris to Bruges bike and barge on the Elodie but one must be a strong cyclist as there are hills. The food was really excellent. Comradery among the group was high, and that's one of the great aspects of the trip.

Around Paris
by Karen Picard 3 years ago • Permalink/Reply
This was the first trip of this type that we have ever done and my first time to France. It was a great way to experience the country and it was nice to see rural areas, historic small towns, castles and the big city of Paris. The crew was wonderful-- friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable and thoughtful. The trip price was a great value for all that we received and experienced. It was great to get so much exercise while on vacation-- walking and biking makes it possible to see and do so much in the fresh air and to burn off the great food and wine we enjoyed. I highly recommend this trip!

One of the best holidays we have ever experienced. Great cycling along the Moselle with excellent and knowledgeable guides and then returning tired but exhilarated to an most welcoming environment on the barge - the IRIS. Meals were excellent and entire crew and owner went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed the total experience. Would recommend this trip to anyone. We will be back for more.

Even for a novice biker I was looked after and given the opportunity to cycle shorter legs and enjoy the sailing on the boat. Bikes - we had a couple of bikes that had gear problems, otherwise they were fine.

Mainz to Basel (no longer available)
by David Miller 3 years ago • Permalink/Reply
Garrit, our bike tour leader, was a novice on this route as well as a poor communicator to the english speaking clients. The docking area changed at each stop from the printed instructions, and the maps and turn-by-turn instructions were only partly correct! Everyone got lost at some point in the trip!! I had asked for GPS routing for my bike Garmin GPS but was told the route was to new and that it was not available! I think some accurate preparation would have made the trip more pleasant.
Second - the route along the Rhine is not scenic (as on the Danube) with few small towns to stop and look/snack on the way. The most notable sights were gravel pits and cement manufacturing. Of course, that is not the fault of the tour operator, however, they should have provided a detailed description of the small towns on the way (although not on the river) to give us the option of exploring the interesting ones and forgetting about the towns with 3 streets and no interesting sights.

Provence - Van Gogh
by Alan Bartlett 3 years ago • Permalink/Reply
We found the map directions confusing at times--i.e. Cross bridge and 3 streets and turn right. Sounds easy enough, but actually it meant 2 major streets and a round about. We usually solved this by using Google maps. But it added stressful tens of minutes to resolve. It pretty much meant that we slightly dreaded arriving at even a little village, due to the almost guaranteed confusion. Having the route available as a google map path would have been much much much better.
It's the service we pay for, not the specific route. It also made it feel like the route had not been retested for a while. Getting a bit lost wasn't all that bad, and we found some nice paths near Arles. The bikes were state of the art and high quality. None of our group liked the automatic transmission on the Bosch drive. It would frequently incorrectly shift in the middle of a climb and caused a bit of needless suffering. All in all it was a fun time. We couldn't have achieved the ride without the e-bikes.

The Rhine from Mainz to Basel, for the most part, is industrial and not as picturesque as other European bike and barge routes we've enjoyed. There were a few cities (Heidelberg, Germany and Strausbourg, France) which were beautiful and offered much to do, but we were expecting the scenic bike routes with quaint towns for cake and coffee, or beer stops along the way and were sorely disappointed. But the most disappointing aspect of this trip was the inability of the on-board guide to give proper instructions nor enlighten us of things to see or visit. We found out about popular sites from all channels except the guides. In Strausbourg, while chatting with tourists, we heard of an amazing evening light show projected onto an enormous cathedral - huge crowds gathered to enjoy this historic presentation, yet nothing was mentioned of it by our guide. We have needed so little guidance to enjoy our bike and barge trips, but this one missed the mark. Based on previous trips that we've done, we'd convinced 2 other couples to join us and they were underwhelmed and disappointed as well. The barge and accommodations were adequate, though rooms were random sizes no matter which deck you choose. One couple paid extra for the upper deck, but their room was much smaller than another couple's on the lower level. The staff and meals on this barge were top notch and we can't say enough about the gourmet chef and tireless staff.

Mainz to Basel (no longer available)
by Paula Birch 3 years ago • Permalink/Reply
I really enjoyed the bike/boat tour on the Rhine. Accommodations on the boat were very good and the meals were excellent. On our arrival we found that our boat was not at the dock as listed but had changed locations and was on the other side of the river. This created a longer taxi drive thus a much bigger fare (54 euros instead of 21 euros) for the 3 of us in each taxi. We had a briefing each morning by our tour guide and on almost every day, the directions were not detailed enough. One of the people we biked with had a GPS and with that and along with discussions among all of us, we managed to find our way back. I really feel this was a big gap and should be rectified before another tour. However it was a wonderful experience and we met many lovely and
interesting people. I would love to do a different bike/boat tour at some time in the future.

Famous Villages of Provence
by Edward Nyland 3 years ago • Permalink/Reply
First of all, let me be clear that we were very satisfied with the Tour. All in all, we would rate it a 9 out of 10. These are the reasons we couldn't give it a perfect 10.
1. Here is the quote from the tour operator after we asked for the directions in advance: "Tell to clients that they don't worry, the welcome meeting will be on Saturday p.m. and they will have all the time to study the route before they leave, the day after in the morning." We did have the welcome meeting but it was a bit rushed and we really didn't have time to ask questions. We were warned not to be late and arrived on time. They indicated that there was not enough time that evening.
2. We did not get our bikes at the welcome meeting. One Ebike had not yet returned on Saturday afternoon. We were told to return in the morning but not before 9:30 AM. When we arrived, we felt rushed and really didn't have time to test the bikes. Mine (Ed) was a bit wobbly but I was told that there was nothing wrong. I did get used to it as we went along but my complaint was valid, further verified when I returned home to my own steady bike.
3. All of the bikes had problems with how they shifted and how they meshed with the electric function. Maybe it was our lack of familiarity with the Ebike but we really didn't have time Sunday morning to ask questions.
4. We never got an explanation on how to engage all of the 27 gears, only could use nine. We were told that they shifted automatically and "don't worry about it". The automatic shift stopped working on two bikes after the second day.
5. The directions were very confusing and hard to follow. Last year we had the "E's" to follow but this year nothing but the somewhat confusing directions.
Around Paris
by Lynne 3 years ago • Permalink/Reply
This Paris Tour exceeded our high expectations. Highlights included a madcap ride through Paris stopping at Notre Dame and the Eiffel tower and visiting Auvers with the Van Gogh sights. Professional multilingual staff, experienced tour guide and wonderful accommodating cook made us welcome. We quickly became friends with the other 14 riders who were all fun adventurous travelers. The bikes were sturdy and well designed for the changing terrain of cobblestones, gravel. dirt pack through forests, city streets and local roads. Bring layers of lightweight clothes for changing weather and bike shorts or liners for riding comfort. The ride could be challenging for inexperienced riders so it is helpful to do training of rides to 15-20 miles in preparation.Cabins are small in this canal boat but adequate especially at this price point. We loved it and look forward to our next bike barge tour.

I give this tour the highest possible recommendation! I have never been to Europe, and this was the best way to get introduced. Of course, Paris was fabulous! I enjoyed even more the time cycling in the countryside along the rivers and through the small towns. The crew on the boat was outstanding, professionally competent in their duties as well as friendly and intent on taking care of our every need. The cycling was relatively easy for the people who cycle regularly, but not too hard for novices. We rode on a wide variety of surfaces from pavement to gravel to dirt. The terrain was mostly flat. The bikes we rode were sturdy Dutch hybrids which were perfect for the task. Beautiful scenery, exercise, great food, many new friends! All this for a very low cost. Don't miss this tour!

Food was substandard...cabins stink and are excessively damp and basically the trip plan was an underwhelming experience. WE stayed on the boat for the first night and then as I recall stayed again the second night. We could have stayed at 5 star hotel in town and enjoyed a great meal instead of a barge in need of many repairs.

Important notes to consider when checking your child's iMessages
Keep in mind that if you do NOT tell your child, you will run into some interesting situations. If you and your teen are cuddled up watching a movie on Sunday night and their friends iMessage them, your iPhone will also go off and you may be caught! You may want to silence your teen's contact info on your iPhone, so when they get an iMessage/text, your iPhone does not ding every time. To do that on iOS 9, for example, perform the following: Let's say your teen's name is Lisa. Of course, you have her in your contacts with her phone number and email, etc.
- Open up your contacts application and find her in the contacts
- Once you have her on the main screen, click the "Edit" link in the top right to edit her contact info
- Scroll down until you see the label called "Text Tone"
- Change the Default one or whatever you have in there to "None"
- Now when Lisa gets "iMessaged" (texted) to, her device will ding but yours will not as her contact going to your device will not alert you
Also, when you enable this, each phone will initially get a push notification from Apple letting you know which device is using which phone number or email so make sure you wait for that and clear it before handing back to your child. Beware of the process!
There are bugs and it does take some care and feeding to get it right. Between iOS 7 – 9.x, there are nuances and the combination of different devices and iCloud settings also impact the viability of this "hack".
We hope this will allow you to have some additional oversight. iMessage can be a great tool that kids & teens love. It can also be abused, so if you find your child or teen is in need of more oversight, use the above trick to be more involved and aware. If you need additional features that allow you to remote screen lock, block apps like Kik , MeetMe or Snapchat , filter website content, and more, you may want to try iPhone parental controls like Netsanity.Click Here to Download Your FREE iMessage Monitoring Guide!

We've had a few questions about sea sickness, and possible remedies. Years ago, we tried the "patch" behind our ears on a seven day cruise, not knowing if we would experience sea sickness. Within a couple of days, our eyes would not focus to read a menu. It wasn't for us, so we took them off. And we never did get seasick, because the weather was fine…..it was a Mexican Riviera cruise. Then as a precaution on longer cruises, we graduated to a low dose of meclizine, but only when we felt it necessary. Getting a prescription was the way to go, since the price was way better. Now only one of us needs it occasionally. One side effect is sleepiness, so taking a pill at night works better. The wrist bracelets may work for some people, but we never tried them.
The other question was about staying in shape, more or less. That's simple. We don't do gyms. We never have. As many months that we have spent on this ship, we have only looked in the gym once. Really just to see where it was located. It's great for the passengers who don't like the heat, wind, sun, or the motion of the ship. So we walk. A lot. It's not unusual for us to walk three different times during the day (sea days), doing 2 or more miles at each session. And we take the stairs, but not exclusively. We do this at home every day, a different trek each day, enjoying lunch out, before heading back. This has also doubled as therapy for not-so-great back problems for one of us. Walking, as well as swimming, seems to be the safest form of exercise without the danger of more injury.
It seems that we missed an event last night, a big one at that. The eclipse of the full moon. It was the second full moon in the month of January, making it a blue moon we heard. Except that during the eclipse, this moon turned red. Barb found out late last night, when she ran into a larger than normal group at the Seaview Pool around 11pm. Sometimes when these things occur, the ship's itinerary does something special. Not this one, we guess. Perhaps it was due to the fact that the real event happened around 2 or 3am.
The EXC guide Barbara was giving talks on Port Chalmers today. We still have to catch up on what to see and do in Auckland, Tauranga, and Napier. This afternoon would be a good chance to watch these talks on TV. Have we mentioned that the guest speaker's lectures have not been rerun on TV?
Now that we have three ports in a row, this would be our last day to spend some time at the pool soaking up the sun. The further south we travel, we expect the temps to cool off. And Captain Jonathon did say that we will be getting some rain tonight and tomorrow. Can't remember ever having rain this time of year in Auckland.
Today we got our delivery of vitamin waters for the President's Club amenity. A fresh flower arrangement should arrive in two days. This afternoon, we had the opportunity to visit with Christel, the guest relations manager. We caught up on recent ship news, as well as asking some questions. We wondered if we could get the $40 per person allowance in shipboard credit, where it could be used for a larger variety of things on the ship. She said we were not the first ones to figure that out. But the company said no to that, although Christel thought it was a fine idea.
Another question we asked was how many people were leaving the ship tomorrow. The answer surprised us because it was only 14. Then, 22 new folks will be joining. Auckland is not the end of a segment, but Sydney will be a debarking port for many more. Better yet, there will be no muster drill for all of the guests tomorrow. That should happen next in Sydney.
To commemorate the occasion of arriving to New Zealand, beef wellington was one of the entrees for dinner tonight. And it was delicious. We had written some positive remarks about the dining room staff today, and Phillip, the manager, came over to thank us kindly for our comments. He showed us a copy of our note, and said he puts it up on the wall in the crew mess for all to read. Never knew that before.
Last chance to see Gary Arbuthnot and Hyperion Knight, both back with all new shows.
Looking forward to exploring Auckland tomorrow…..rain or shine.

text: INSTRUCTION MANUAL DCH213-XE HEAVY-DUTY 18V CORDLESS ROTARY HAMMER 1) WORK AREA SAFETY a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. 2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. 3) PERSONAL SAFETY a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

NOTICE: If drilling thin material, use a wood "back-up" block to prevent damage to the material. 1. Turn the mode selector (D) to the drill symbol (I). 2. Use sharp drill bits only. For Wood, use twist bits, spade bits, power auger bits or hole saws. For Metal, use high-speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws. Use Shocks – Active Vibration Control (Fig. 1, 2) For best vibration control, hold the tool with one hand on the main handle (E) and the other hand on the side handle (A). Apply just enough pressure so the hammer is approximately mid-stroke. The hammer only needs enough pressure to engage the internal active vibration control. Applying too much pressure will not make the tool drill faster and active vibration control will not engage. 9 a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion drilling. 3. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit. 4. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the drill. If model is not equipped with side handle, grip drill with one hand on the handle and one hand on the battery pack. WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the twisting action and avoid injury. 5. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded or improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO NOT depress TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL. 6. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part of the hole. 7. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent jamming. 8. With variable speed drills there is no need to center punch the point to be drilled. Use a slow speed to start the hole and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the hole is deep enough to drill without the bit skipping out. DRILLING IN METAL An SDS Plus® to round shank adaptor chuck is required for the DCH213-XE. Ensure that tool is in drill-only mode. Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow of metal chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. NOTE: Large (7.9 mm to 12.7 mm [5/16" to 1/2"]) holes in steel can be made easier if a pilot hole (4 mm to 4.8 mm [5/32" to 3/16"]) is drilled first. DRILLING IN WOOD An SDS Plus® to round shank adaptor chuck is required for the DCH213-XE. Ensure that tool is in drill-only mode. Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool. Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the flutes. For larger holes, use spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up with a block of wood. DRILLING IN MASONRY When drilling in masonry, use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion drilling and be certain that the bits are sharp. Use a constant and firm force on the tool to drill most effectively. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate. HAMMERDRILL OPERATION 1. When drilling, use just enough force on the hammer to keep it from bouncing excessively or "rising" off the bit. Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds, overheating, and a lower drilling rate. 2. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do not exert side pressure on the bit when drilling as this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower drilling speed. 3. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to drop off, pull the bit partially out of the hole with the tool still running to help clear debris from the hole. 4. For masonry, use carbide-tipped bits or masonry bits. A smooth even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate. Chipping and Chiselling (Fig. 2) 1.

Apparently it was national cherry day 3 days ago (16th July), something that was drawn to my attention by the botanical baker blog. As it happens, we had foraged some cherries that were sitting happily in the freezer only a few days before that. I love cherries, and I'm really looking forward to more foraging this weekend in a spot in Lincolnshire we know to be fantastic, and the jam-making that follows.
I don't know where the idea came from but I was convinced that cherries and liquorice should go well together. This proved to be yet another combination that, when suggesting it to Nick, was met with a pause, a confused-disgusted look, and a quiet escape of "um...". But I have faith. Scouring the internet for liquorice/cherry cake recipes I wasn't that surprised that I couldn't find the combination already there. Nor was I surprised that liquorice cupcakes do, most commonly, contain liquorice. But I don't have liquorice at home and it's rare that I want to go shopping, especially as my car's MOT has expired and isn't booked in for its test 'till Tuesday, which it'll probably fail so miserably that it'll be sayonara to Mike II. But I digress.

Sweetapolita also nicely links liquorice with almonds, which everyone knows goes well with cherries. I felt a mix of treacle and star anise (I know star anise isn't the same thing as aniseed, but both have a liquorice taste) would be the best way to go to avoid the treacle making the cake too dense and sticky but give it enough moisture.
I couldn't decide between a liquorice cake with cherry frosting, or a cherry cake with cherry jam filling and a star anise frosting. I actually started preparing the star anise-infused milk for the frosting before changing my mind and using it for the sponge instead. So here it is, my non-liquorice liquorice cake with cherry frosting. The recipe is for 6 cupcakes, as I have a tendency when trying out recipes to decrease the batter to the minimum possible (i.e. 1 egg's-worth), so multiply up for your "needs"! If you want to make an 8" cake instead of cupcakes then triple the quantities given below (both for the batter and frosting), baking for the same amount of time as cupcakes in two sandwich tins.
This cake is light and airy yet moist, and while some people can't taste the anise at all (freaky taste-buds, Andy!), for others it's quite pleasantly noticeable. Either way, everyone who's tried it has loved it, including two non liquorice-lovers! Enjoy!
Lydia's cherry liquorice cupcakes
(suitable for liquorice-haters!) makes 6
|© Lydia, punge.blogspot.co.uk
Cake Batter
60g (2oz) margarine or butter
60g (2oz, 1/4 cup) caster sugar
1tbsp treacle (blackstrap molasses)
1 large egg
1 tsp almond extract
115g (3/4 cup) self-raising flour
60ml (1/4 cup) milk (or 40ml = 2tbsp+2tsp milk if you have an electric grinder for the star anise)
1 star anise, ground (~1.5tsp ground), if you don't have a grinder, use 2-3 star anise
Cherry Frosting
90g (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
180g icing (1 cup confectioner's) sugar
1/2 tsp almond extract
1tbsp kirsch/cherry liquor (cherry juice/flavouring/extract should also work)
40g fresh/tinned cherries (stoneless weight, approx 20 small cherries), chopped
With a swirly frosting as pictured, you should still have some frosting left at the end, so you can get away with decreasing the quantities slightly. If you're doing a thinner coating of frosting (i.e. spreading it on) you can get away with making just half of the frosting quantity.
If you have an electric grinder, grind your star anise to a fine powder and set aside and ignore the simmering milk stage. Otherwise, simmer the star anise in the milk for 10 minutes and allow to steep, cooling, for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 160°C (electric/fan, 180°C gas - mark 4, 320-350°F).
Line a cupcake tin with cupcake cases / line 2 8inch sandwich tins with greaseproof paper or grease with butter and coat with flour (if you have springform tins).
Beat the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat to incorporate.
Fold in the flour (with the ground star anise if you had a grinder), then the treacle, almond extract and 40ml (2tbsp and 2tsp) of the milk (remove whole star anise if used, you can strain out the ground star anise if you wish, but it's not necessary).
Divide among the cases and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and the centre of the cake(s) are firm and springy to the touch.
Allow to cool fully before frosting - for the cake, cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring, upside-down, on a wire rack.
To make the frosting, beat the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy.
Add all the liquid (if your cherries have seeped liquid, then add this too but subtract the amount from the amount of kirsch you add so that the total volume of liquid added does not exceed 1tbsp and 1/2 tsp, otherwise the frosting will be too runny, and is very likely to curdle) and the chopped cherries before beating again until incorporated. Be careful not to overbeat the frosting as it will become runny.

Dirty Billionaire
Book 1, The Dirty Series - The Dirty Billionaire Trilogy
Meghan March
This book can be downloaded and read in Apple Books on your Mac or iOS device.
"This is a must read for all those who love a hot, dirty mouthed alpha male. This was the first book I have read by Meghan March, but it won't be my last. I dare you not to want a Creighton Karas for yourself." ~Alpha Book Club
"This story moved along at a fast-pace, with characters that held my attention from start to finish. I listened to the Audible version and I could not turn it off until I had finished the entire book. I was utterly captivated with this story!" ~Obsessed with Myshelf
"This was brilliant. So dirty, hot, sexy, and fun!" ~Red Cheeks Reads
From New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Meghan March comes a deliciously dirty trilogy. All three books are available now!
I've got a big ego and an even bigger bank account. That's pretty much where my bio ends. Honestly, I don't need to say anything else. I've just sold 99% of women on going home with me.
Do I sound like a jerk to you? That's because I am.
And guess what? It works for me just fine.
Or at least it did. Until I met her.
Books talk about sparks flying. Screw that. With her, it was like emergency flares mixed with jet fuel. Or maybe straight up napalm.
Only one problem. She wouldn't tell me her name or her number when she disappeared from the hotel room after the hottest night of my life.
Now I've had a taste of the perfect woman, and I need it again.
So what's a jerk to do?
Take this problem to the street. A missed connection gone viral.
And when I find her? I'm keeping her.
Customer Reviews
Where must I start? This book, no this series, is absolutely beautiful and brilliant. I've read many books. So many. And most don't come close to this piece of art. Because that's what this book is. Art. Truly a work of art. Crey is man truly deserving to be dreamt about. This story of love was delivered so well it brought my to tears. And now, I found myself seeking another book, and none seem to compare. Truly amazing!
Nothing to rave about
I'm not sure where the high rating came from because the trilogy was pretty weak. In all honesty all three books could have been one book. The total page count in all three boys combined are less than one of E.L James fifty shades books. There was just nothing to the story line. Apparently everything nowadays get 5 star even without a plausible story line.
Weak Story Line
I decided to read this book because it kept showing up on my ibooks and it happened to be free. In my opinion, the story line was very weak and was not relatable. There was no depth to the story at all and it just didn't seem like a real story that would actually happen. I made it about halfway through the book before I gave up.
