yes, today's been pretty good :-)

It started this morning with Joa playing the percussion accompaniment to a pretty cool unicorn song.


While Rebe was at school the boys and I went to visit a lovely friend. Her and her husband are bread makers. They make gorgeous organic breads and sell them at a local farmers market. I've been pestering her to teach me, so today she finally relented and let me come over ;-)

We had a lovely morning, chatting and drinking tea and making bread. We used her husbands recipe for a plain white loaf. We used a starter, something I had never done before. I had to bring my rising bread home in the car as I didn't have time to bake it there what with having to pick Rebe up. So I came home with that and...


a wee box of my own starter and a really wonderful book to borrow.

And this is how my loaf came out...

The kids both enjoyed it and I think the flavour was good, I think I need to bake it a little longer. The big test will be to see if Andy likes it. My friend and I are talking about getting together at least once a month, hopefully with some other mummys too, and having a morning of baking together. I think it'd be wonderful :-)


At home, Rebe made a tea party.


There was a rainbow.


And I finally got to finish this wee laddie for my shop...




So all in all it's been lovely :-)

Hope you had a good day too x
