When life throws blackberries at you....

....make jam!

While on a walk with the children I managed to pick enough early blackberries to make nearly a pot of jam.

Very nice on a slice of toast :)

Wordless Wednesday

Fish!

A great way to spend a morning!

Cub Camp

This weekend we attend a family Cub camp. I was feeling a little worried about going away with the children alone. I had no need to be, the camp was very well run.

The children's favorite part was singing songs around the camp fire :)

My poor little man is ill today. He has tonsillitis :( So we have spent the day watching Harry Potter films. I do love the films, and so wish it was all real! Just me??

Yesterday Jess and I made some Oreo cupcakes for a friends Phoenix card party launch.

I also received my prize from Mary Poppins giveaway :) The tea bags smell amazing, can't wait to try them.

Baking

I spent most of a miserable raining Sunday in the kitchen baking.

Lemon Tart. A big hit, all went back for seconds.

Raspberry Oat Bars, Recipe in this months Good Food magazine. Great for packed lunches and taking to friends to have with a cup of tea.
