These creamy white buttons make the most amazing white hot chocolate! See Cat's recipe on The Modern Housewife blog.
We would all have LOVED this event! Such a pity there isn’t one closer to us…
All these pictures of places near where I grew up makes me a little misty eyed! The reenactment of the siege makes me chuckle. I like to think they had safety barriers back in the day! oooh but I’d love a bog goddess. She’s lovely…in a vaguely creepy way!
I should have mentioned that the reenactors were the Historic Saltire Society and they do travel about I see they’re in St. Andrews at the end of the month – a bit nearer maybe?
We drove past your old house Cat! I know – I love the Bog Goddess too, very primal.
Davey would have loved that
