On a different note,
...the boys and I spent a most precious and glorious Wednesday in Kirkby Lonsdale and walking around the little picture postcard village of Whittington. The sun was so so wonderful, warming, bright and very welcome. We spent time munching our lunch on the river's edge punctuating it with bouts of stone skimming. Youngest took photos whilst I skimmed - I am a bit rusty, think I need more practice!
The boys tower over me now.
Baked vegan brownies - they were very successful and very quickly consumed.
I have had requests (repeatedly) for another pan,
however a distinct lack of cocoa in the cupboard has put paid to that!
(Note to self...remember to buy some more -SHARPISH!).
A certain sporting event is happening this Friday (no I don't mean our photo-hunt!) but Tour de Yorkshire!
Stage 1 culminates in the town I work and it has certainly sparked a flurry of bunting and flags and all things blue and yellow and bicycle shaped!
We even have a Hollywood style name, I could not resist taking photos.
It is strange what you stumble over when walking out on the hills.
A manhole cover .... with a personalised touch ... a little on the batty side.
Himself has been baking too - he made GigANtiC custard slices!
They too were scoffled rather quickly.
He has just told me that he has been thinking how to improve and refine his recipe ...
watch this space!
The slices look delicious and what a lovely way to spend a day, out with your boys. Mine all tower over me too and most of the grandchildren are catcing up too fast. Love how you captured the S going up and that manhole cover is so quirky. Enjoy Friday, maybe not the hassle in town, but our exciting SHP's. Take care.
ReplyDeleteKeep waffling! Great that you and Eldest are thinking about another photo scavenger list! Just love the chaps putting up th big SETTLE letters. Lucky you to snap them.
ReplyDeleteAll that food looks delicious and is making me feel hungry. I always enjoy the excitement and decorations when there is a cycling event taking place. It's such a big part of it now. X
ReplyDeleteCustard slices are my first choice in a mixed cake selection in a tearoom. Not made any for ages. Mmm chocolate Brownies too. Lovely pictures of the Hollywood - sorry Settle sign going up. You were lucky to catch it happening. Looking forward to the picture treasure hunt results on Friday. xxx
ReplyDeleteThe brownies look delicious! Love the Settle sign!
ReplyDeleteI love the Settle sign and your husbands custard slices look wonderful.My husband cooks but he is a savoury man, so alas no cakes.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't seem like waffle to me, a lovely post with - as always - super photos :-}
ReplyDeleteGreat picture of the not-quite-completed sign:-}
Beautiful photo with sun shining in the water. The brownies looks delicious and so does the custard slices. Enjoyable photos!
