Before I was up this morning, my lovely Mr S took this photo of vapour trails lit up by the rising sun.
He also took an early morning photo of our back garden showing the light tree and the bauble tree.
I made a fruity Heligan Pineapple Cake today topped with the delightful Snowman and Snowdog to serve as my birthday cake tomorrow. Click the red link for the recipe.

Thank you. I was delighted when I found the lovely snowman and his little dog. I knitted SnowDog twice for two of the LiveWires and they still have him and bring him out at Christmas each year which pleases me greatly. 🙂
