Simnel cake - yummy!

Hello all, Easter weekend is fast approaching, the schools have broken up for the holiday and there is a LOT of chocolate around...but I can't eat chocolate (I know, torture) so, a good and yummy option is a traditional Easter simnel cake. Here is my recipe and article on Hubpages - enjoy!

Clocks change...British Summer Time?!

Well, its my one day off, the clocks have gone forward an hour signalling British Summer time...and its raining with a fair wind blowing! Never mind, hopefully things will now improve, it smells like spring out there and there is a vase of daffodils on the table beside me.

A week ago I was in beautiful Malta in the sunshine, taking in the rays and looking at fields full of vegetables, the sea shimmering and a warm breeze wafting by - what a difference a few days make! Come on summer, we need you!

Have a good Sunday all.

Malta yay, but will miss work!

In a weeks time I will be in lovely Malta, we go every year (would love to go more often) to see my other half's parents and hopefully have some sun! It is an amazing island filled with history and beautiful things, the other side of the visit is always vey social and fun, can't wait!

The only downside is that I will miss work, odd I know, but the shop I have with 3 friends really is great fun, I hope they have a good time without me though, and do plenty of business. Serendipity Llanandras is an eclectic shop selling new and vintage items as well as handmade crafts, always something new and exciting on sale!
