Happy Birthday dear Herbie!
Thank you for making us laugh every single day!

I'm no Nigella...

....but you've got to make a bit of an effort on your man's birthday!
Happy Birthday Steve xx

Birthday Boy

I've got to make this quick! We've got friends staying and it's terribly rude disappearing to write a blog post, but I couldn't let the day go by without a special mention to our little Herb who turned 3 today!
Here he is sitting on one of his presents - a Gruffalo trunki. This photo would have been lovely if his uncle Dave wasn't trying to ply him with beer!

He requested a dinosaur cake - I'm always up for a challenge! I was quite pleased with my efforts (I like getting creative with chocolate fudge icing!) until his big brother piped up with, 'I thought it was going to be standing up!' at which point I nearly forced his head into aforementioned cake with some vigour!

He seemed to enjoy it anyway!
Time for a walk to burn off some of those calories!




Such a beautiful day, feels like summer all of a sudden!

Back home at last, surely you've had enough chocolate for one day?! But cousin Molly is tucking into buttons from her Easter egg....
'Go on, just one!'
'Only if you give us a kiss!'...

Happy Birthday Herbie! Hope you had a fab day!

Happy Birthday...

to my scrummy niece Molly - here's what I made for her pressie...

I am actually pretty fed up of making these birds now, but it was nice to do a variation - 4 birds perched on a driftwood stick held up with wire and hung from a piece of sheer ribbon. Now I've gone and got more ideas for Christmas robins and there's only 5 days until my last Christmas Fayre! Talk about leaving it until the last minute!

Oh and here's a shot of her birthday card to match. Have a great week folks!
