Give Me Any Old Dough....

Welcome to my Monday...

Shaking off those weekend cobwebs..

 Nice to celebrate Monday with coffee and marmite on toast!↓↓

 While my kids walked over to see their granddad.

My baking hand was itching once more....

I raided the freezer for all the fruit we have picked off our trees and near-by bushes...

Into the saucepan they went...

I blind baked the pastry...

Once in the tart and filling was ready,

In the oven it went.

Now to enjoy some breath of fresh air...

 

Early lunch.....↑↑

The tart was ready...↓↓

 

 Hoping the rain keeps away..

Amazing what you can find in the bottom of the freezer...

Chicken Kebabs....

Last minute Birthday card will be made tomorrow.......

(I will have to tie up my baking hand overnight, to stop it itching)

 

 

Life Goes On For The Better...

Welcome to a lazy Sunday..

I had a little lie-in..

Another play with my warm hands 😉

 Followed by breakfast..

Out for some fresh air...

It didn't help it started to rain...🌧

 Dropped off my dad's newspaper..

While I went to job,

Hubby had a quick play with Henry...

 When I got back to finish doing my chores.

Hubby went for a walk up the town with older son to fetch some supplies from Poundland.

When he got back we enjoyed a nice light lunch.

We are waiting to hear if our council exchange to Lytham St Annes near Blackpool is going to go ahead....

It's only 144 miles away from Redditch.

New start for all of us. \o/

 The sooner the better, as we have to get the kids into the nearby schools. 

Planned a nice evening meal.

 Morroccan Meatballs with Gravy & Vegetables.

 I sorted out the chocolate cake, that hubby is taking to work tomorrow.

 I know it is a bit late for cupcake day.

Hopefully can still make some money for a good cause.

Making two Birthday cards tomorrow...

Giving my creative hands a chance....

 Chill with tea↓

 

 Coffee and toast time..

 

 No sun out today.

Fed the ducks around the lake.

 

 Met my friend for a chat.

It started to rain, so we all took shelter...

Went back to hers for coffee.

Strocked her doggies..

 

 

 Said goodbye.

Dropped the newspaper around at my dads.

 

 

 

 Just got home,

The thunder, rain and hail stones...

 

 

 

 The wind got up and was knocking over my plants...↓↓

 I gave up on the chocolate cake I made yesterday.

Out came the reliable Kenny the Kenwood.

 After using 8 eggs, I done the first butterless sponge.

 I had to nip to Asda to get more eggs, coconut and strawberries...

Made another sponge....

 Angel Cake

 The Chocolate cake is going with hubby to work on Monday, to raise money for Dementia Charity.

Now to put my warm hands to more good use.....
