I'm no fair-weather friend

Are you cross?

I have been away sometime.
No excuses, i promise i'll be back more often from now on.


I've had the most sick inducing stomach full of love for the last few weeks and have just spent a heavenly half hour thinking about making chutney and how nice it is to give it and suddenly remembered all the lovely things i actually like doing :)

I need good cheese chutneys people.

I do have a fabulous WI Jams pickle and Chutneys recipe book but I've been thinking about the wonderful PAM the JAM, who's Candied Orange Sticks i made this christmas and went down a absolute storm, and am considering buying her River Cottage Preserves book.

If you've got a good one and feel like sharing, i'd love to see it too!

Gone but not forgotten

I know i've been terrible at posts this last couple of months.
Lots and lots has been happening and i've even taken photos but i've just been crapola and although i've continued to bake, stacks and stacks in fact, i've been very good at eating them but just terrible at writiting about them!

Eat any more christmas pudding and you'll turn into one.

Coffee Breath

Okay, I'm feeling much better today, or at least I am now.
I've had a right tizzy of a day, but I finished it off by eating a rather large slice of my first ever coffee and walnut cake, which i have written my first blog about here on my new blogspot! I know it looks a little bit wonky but it tastes scrummy.

Also, the mouse spent some time playing in a box, so that made me feel better too.

Thank you little mouse xxx

ps. just so you know we didn't drink a whole box of Co-Op Californian Chardonnay. I'm not really a Chardonnay girl.

Rainy days and Mondays

I had great plans for today.
Big plans.
I saw myself springing out of bed and squeezing every last drip out of my Monday.

As it stands i feel as heavy as cement and I have now moulded a good spot in my bed that has me at the correct height for computering and snoozing.

I am sick.
I hope, wish and prey that it's passing. It's not a natural state for me.
I'm not a good patient.
The melancholy hits in and nothing seems possible, nothing apart from the possibility of me spending the rest of my life in this state.

woe is me
