To all my wonderful readers and friends new and old.
Hoping its a good year for everyone
Irresistible….
This year my cake looked too good to eat….
But that did not stop people from tucking in, and even if I say so myself it was truly delicious.
My Mince pies and Christmas muffins also went down very well too.
So nice to bake for people that appreciate home baking 🙂
Unique….
Have you ever had a gift or card that’s so unique and made just for you that it makes you want to cry ??
Well I got just the card from Geoff.
Its a card made from a mosaic of photos.. all the photos are taken from days out , holidays and activities that we have done through the year.
It holds lots of happy memories, is worth more than all the money in the world and I will treasure it forever.
I had no idea he could be so romantic 🙂
The lyrics are from a song that was playing on DI.FM while he was making the card.
I also see he’s not the only one that’s been making cards either….
Christmas Wishes..
While I have the time I just wanted to wish all my lovely blog readers A Very Very Happy Christmas.
I hope you all have a wonderful festive break, most importantly I hope you all keep safe.
Best wishes for 2009, and lets hope it will not be as bad as they predict.
Mud Mud glorious Mud….
Sunday 21st of December was the shortest day of the year.. yes spring is on its way 🙂
We celebrated the day by doing what we love most… walking.
It was an early 9am start from Balsham with the Cambridge Rambling club.
Where we did a 14 mile circular walk with 14 other people, happy to be out in the lovely winter sun.
The leaders of the walk, Larry and Margaret magically produced mulled wine and mince pies out their ruc sacs for us all to enjoy during our mid morning break.
A great way to spend Solstice day .
Secret Santa Arrives…..
If you remember I took part in the secret Santa exchange over at Creating a Likeness
Well I have received my card from Blue at My True Colours, it is just beautiful and so well made.
I enjoyed making my card too for Lorianna over at Twilight’s Muse
A bit of fun at Christmas time and well enjoyed by all 🙂
On The Menu Today…
I spent the afternoon cooking …
First I made a nice beef stew for the boys, recipe taken from my OXO cook book…
Then I made a vegetable and butter bean stew for Geoff, recipe taken from a new book, delicious casseroles…
Finally I roasted two Partridge for dinner, wrapping them in bacon to keep them moist..
.
The reason I had the partridge, well a friend booked her husband in for a massage and they gave me 4 Partridge and a Pheasant as a tip.
Almost A Year Too Late….
Amazingly today,almost a year after my lucky escape I received a Recorded Delivery letter from Renault about the bonnet fault.
They say they have written to all Clio II owners previously and according to their data my Clio II has not been into a dealers to get checked.
This is the first letter I have ever received about this known fault and what a shame its a year too late .
