Dessert Magic

My garden is a mass of blossom from the fruit trees.

I am looking forward to our first summer in the new house

 with the bounty of our fruit trees.

 I can't wait to starting whipping up magical desserts,

heavenly cakes and delicious pies with fruit grown from our trees..

Sunday High Tea

It's a sunny Sunday afternoon
and the perfect time to throw a little high tea party.
Invite some friends, family or neighbours,
whip up a batch of scones
with strawberry jam and cream,
make some dainty ribbon sandwiches,
throw in some pretty pastel macarons and
you have yourself the perfect afternoon tea!
