A lovely Sunday... walking the dogs and baking cakes.

Today we went for a really long walk over the fields with the dogs. When we got back I had a baking session...

This is a syrup loaf (Ashley had a slice before I took the photo!) It's really easy to make, just syrup, milk, flour, bicarb and a pinch of salt. I think we will have it with custard for pudding tomorrow.

It's Ashley's birthday tomorrow so this will be his cake, I just need to add candles, 22 of them!!!


Ashley asked me to make cake for him to take to work to share. This is a lemon sponge.


I'm actually ahead of myself and organised! This is for my Valentine, my lovely husband.

This was a new recipe - spiced fruit cake. The texture is strange because you add a crumble topping.

Gorgeous chocolate fudge cake squares. I have made these since Ashley was a baby when I was 19. The cake is very moist and the icing fudgy - yum yum! Ashley will take some of these to work too.


I've just watched 'Call the Midwife', a perfect end to a perfect Sunday. I wonder what Monday will bring??? Ashley's special day.

The sun has been shining!

Today I've had a lovely day but I haven't got all my chores done!

This morning I got up early with good intentions to get lots done, but instead I went to the B&Q superstore in Northampton. We chose a nice paint to do the utility room and bought lots of seeds too.

This afternoon we went for a lovely long walk with the dog, then I did my ironing.



Tea was stew and dumplings which I cooked in the slow cooker.

Back to work tomorrow : -(
