Flowers? For Me????

The last day of the weekend..

What am I going to make or bake??

My hands wanted to do something.

So let's not disappoint them, shall we?

 I also made two Xmas cards as well.

My hubby even bought me some flowers (to help get me out of the black mood I was in yesterday & today)

Second batch of mince pies made.

Now to find the vase for the flowers!

Death By Chocolate!

Today I needed to do something without spending any money!

I looked through some magazines,

Checked to see if I had all the ingredients.

I even got 4 eggs from a visit to my dad.

Spiced Chocolate Bundt Cake

Date With The Rolling Pin Again!

Today is National Christmas Jumper Day

I wore mine!

 It was time to get out the rolling pin once more

To make the first batch of mince pies for Christmas.

I was supposed to make 12, and ended up with 16.

Soon as my kids saw them, 

It went down from 16 mince pies......

It's About The Log

Back in the kitchen this morning,

Kenny the Kenwood was more than grateful to come out to play

Made something to eat at Christmas.

Certainly wasn't going to buy one from the shops.

A bit of dusting with icing sugar

Drum roll please

My Yule Log

Away In A Manger

My friend comes out a couple times of a week to play.

He is more the merrier.

A shop owner has used my friend and others to creative a nativity scene.

Very good I thought.

Speaking of my friend, it's time for him to make appearance in my house not in a shop window!

Keeping My Hands Busy

I was in the frame of mind to make tonight's tea.

I had an hour and a half to get it done.

Lots of singing and dancing.

And got it all done.

The only thing to do tonight is to put the oven on!

Shepherd's Pie & Peach Crumble

Kissing Time

I had been searching for this picture for ages,

I finally found it in the loft when I was getting the Xmas decorations down.

It was took over 76 years ago.

It was of my dad's mum & dad.

It's nice to see people being romantic, 

even if my nan didn't want a kiss!
