Yesterday's Jam

Birthday!

Lovely day, sunshine, food, nice gifts, couple of hours weeding - what more could a girl want ? My mum made a gorgeous cake too, i'm very lucky and very full!

Back to rain

A lovely week was had by all in the Yorkshire Dales, everyone is back to school and work - the weather has taken a turn for the worse - cold, windy rain which basically means weeds and slugs and blight on my blooming tomatoes !
Anyhow, lots to do...Strawberry Jam making today, a spot of blanket knitting (I still haven't finished it!), small girls bracelets to thread and a heap of other things for two Fairs that are on the horizon.
Actually the dog could do with a wash too, he is really smelly...better put that on my list also.

Beautiful Colours

It's a very windy day, and thought I'd get a photo of the lovely tulips before the petals became scattered all over the garden, beautiful colours to brighten everyone up!

Busy busy

Have a very busy weekend as tomorrow is our Parish Sponsored Walk and along with a few others, including my mum, I'm organising refeshments for all the walkers - for when they arrive back at the Hall...this means quite a bit of baking, so far I've made lots of biscuits and a heap of fruit scones. Unfortunately have used all the sugar, I'll be resuming the baking following a quick trip to the shop, will be hiding the goodies so that my youngest does not eat all the raspberry cookies!
I'm very glad to have so much to do, it's taking my mind off the election, I'm quite off politcs in general and probably will be for some time...
