Day 16 - Saturday. This Saturday looks like a 5 mile walk to a Cotswolds country pub, whilst on a mini break celebrating 22 years together with (and 11 years married to!) this lovely man.
Day 12 - Make. My 12yo is obsessed with #GBBO and likes to bake along each week, so she makes cake in cake week, biscuits in biscuit week and so on. Tonight is desert week, and she made treacle tart. I am very excited as it's a real favourite of mine.
Day one of @theclotheslineie Magic of October challenge, and the prompt is #Autumn. Today was very autumnal with slanting rain and swirling winds this morning and sparkling sunshine this afternoon. Along with Anne Shirley, I am also very glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.
When you're trying to do some work at your laptop but a certain tabby cat wants a cuddle instead. He can just about cope with my attention not being on him if I am doing moving around jobs like cleaning, cooking etc, but as soon as I sit down I am HIS.
'Mummy, can we make an apple pie after school today?' Yes, my love, we can! The house smells delicious now, all cinnamony and autumnal. The only decision left to make is cream, ice-cream or custard? (I'm Team Custard all the way)
I'm just a girl, on a train, with no attendant children or bags of snacks and sticker books, heading off to have lunch with one of my absolute best pals. Wearing a lovely new dress from @mutha.hood. Happy Saturday!
