1 I needed to keep myself busy today so, the weather being unfit for a good stomp, baking was the answer. I decided to make a Swiss Roll and the lovely Mr S requested Lemon Curd Swiss Roll where I prefer raspberry. We had run out of Lemon Curd so I started by making a batch of that and then made a twin flavoured Swiss Roll!
2 The lemon wedges and the fresh bay leaves for tonight’s roast chicken looked beautiful together.
3 We Skyped with D in Barcelona to bring him and his Senegalese wife up to date with regard to the newest member of our family. He taught us the following expression in Warlof which means We’re all in this together / Family support is all around you, which is so lovely – Nyo far.
PS Thank you to so many of you who have sent love and support for us and Grandbaby B.
