seeds and scones

Had a most industrious day – planted up seed trays with aubergine, sage, lettuce, rocket, brocolli and chilli pepper seeds - greenhouse has expanded our repetoire, more to come yet :) randomly: the greenhouse has other, lazier uses too interesting shelf constructed by Davie out of parts of the kids old beds… and as you can see [...]

pud

Different recipe again – a no-cook one, can be seen here. Rather pleased with the pic too. Meanwhile the world progressed… Dan really likes the numbered method of this type of puzzle and has done most of it himself. He found the year in Roman numerals on it and research showed it to be 1676. [...]

Catriona arrived this morning bearing chocolate – amazing cupcakes (hope she didn’t feel obliged by my hints in diary!), a chocolate Christmas tree and frogs… mmm… Had a fairly brief trip to the Lighthouse Museum in Fraserburgh as they were closing so we didn’t get a trip up the lighthouse – was quite fun anyway.

creations of a cakely nature

Some things we came home to: two exciting postcards from the group, one from Japan and one from Antartica from this man. He’s got some fabulous pictures up there. Were going to send him back one of Brodie Castle. Charlotte has done a page on Antartica and Daniel did Japan. Our wall map is getting [...]

friends and mince pies

Had unexpected visitors today who have not seen for a while. Very nice time catching up with all our news. We supported each other through some tough times in the last couple of years and it was good to see we are both in happier places now. Poor Lynda was made to sit and listen [...]
