Logs and Legolas

Trying out James Martins' Yule log minus the chocolate coating. Never made a cake from just eggs and flour before. It has of course cracked in the rolling but tastes good nonetheless.

And middle daughter has gone to a fancy dress party with the theme of a character from a film. She has made the costume entirely from the contents of the dressing up box. Hair her own....

Rainbows......

and wow skies .......

And coffee cake......

Perfick.

Blue Skies

Late summer fun, actually it's the first

day of autumn.

Christmas Dinner 2013

Freshly picked

We have a moderate crop of apples here on our three year old tree.

So we are able to pop them in the lunch box straight off the tree.

A novelty indeed.

Heaven Preserve Us

We have had a good crop of blackcurrants from one bush. We also had lots of redcurrants but they were raided by some wily critters who managed to circumnavigate the net!

Jam was the order of the day. It's not my best, the fruit is a little chewy. I didn't soften them long enough I expect.

But the flavour is good nonetheless.

Right now....

Crocheting on the beach....

My most favourite cider ever....

Happy fisherman.....

A feat of sand engineering...

Enjoying the spoils

Happy days.
