The skies haven't been quite so dramatic of late, but as I have had a pretty uneventful day I will put one from yesterday, lovely colours really.

Today I have spent a lot of time in the kitchen as I bought the ingredients last week to make Christmas cakes, was going to make them on Thursday but ended up going to Edinburgh instead! So, I made five in the end, four with butter and one with vegetable margarine for my sister as my niece is allergic to dairy products. I make that one square, easier to remember as a label might get lost if they were all round!

I rarely bake thes days but did make some muffins as well.

The cakes are cooling now then the feeding will begin. I did get out and do a bit of clearing in the garden, managed to get a bag filled and then it began to rain.
