Weekending

 

We had the most summery feeling spring weekend here.  So here are a few of the things I did this weekend..

• I finished the first of maybe six Christmas angel ornaments.
• Picked a bowl of broad beans, however after podding them I only had 250g. 
• Made brioche for Sunday morning breakfast - the filling this time was Christmas fruit mince.  So far the winning flavour seems to be cinnamon sugar.  I'm going to work on some berry/custard/curd combinations over the next few weekends.
• A little shopping at our local emporium - which stocks all sorts of crafting, party, hardwear items - these ribbons just cried out for me to buy them.  Hate it when that happens.
• Discovered that some more little orchids are flowering in my garden
• Played with felt and Christmas fabrics for a Christmas ornament swap I have joined.
• Started working my way through a pile of fabulous books on my bedside table.

Are you planning/planting ready for summer now?
