Rain, rain, and more rain, so far this month! I really love the autumn (when its dry!) the damp is horrible, it just takes a bit of getting used to, being stuck in so much, after the glorious summer we have had. But yay!we have all the festivities to look foward to, Halloween, Bonfire night, and Christmas.. dare I mention it yet?
Saturday was a mega busy day, we layed laminate in our lounge, WOW what a killer that was, hubby and myself are hobbling about, like we are both 85! both have a dodgy back now! Still its a job well done, and we will be warm for winter with no draughts.
Whilst hubby was laying floor , I had a cooking fest, and made a scrummy chicken chorizo, and chick pea casserole, with home made foccacia with red onion, and rosemary (sorry no pics, because I forgot, what with all the commotion! ) but MY it was fabulous! Definitely be making it again, a real peasant dish with max flavours, it was so good to tuck into after all that hard work. I did take some pics of the choc chip muffins I made, they were very good too! I only had 1 of course.;)

I then took daughter to park, as weather was quite pleasant , we found conkers, fed the ducks, went squirrel spotting, and daughter got filthy on the slide as she went down head first at least 15 times!

I'm going to HAVE to make some spooky cupcakes, to take to the kids party I never need an excuse to make them, I LOVE, LOVE making cupcakes, so much more fun, and more intricate than everyday baking, I wish we had a local cake suppliers shop, I hate paying the extortionate delivery prices online, just for a few sprinkles, decorative bits and bobs, etc, so will have to drive 10 miles or so to a good one that always has everthing I need, and stock up! Have found some fab ideas online, here are some I may steal ideas from!

Yeah, that's why the damp is annoying me so much! my hair keeps frizzing! I don't use Edes much as they are a bit pricey, only in an emergency:O!! Sugarcraft in Hullbridge is really good, they have everything there, so I try to stock up when I go. :) x
ReplyDeleteThe rain is a little hard to get use to after lovely summers I must agree although here in the southern hemisphere we are looking forward to some warm weather and sunny days after a long, cold, wet, winter.
ReplyDeleteI love your dress up idea for the halloween party. Goth all the way. :-) Good luck with the baking too. Those cup cakes look scrumptious.
Thanks for your lovely comments Anne, lucky you, having a summer to look foward to! I am really looking foward to dressing up! I will be posting pics soon! x
