2   It was our lovely neighbour’s birthday while we were away and today I baked her a Lime, Yogurt and Rose Petal Cake for the party this evening. Recipe coming soon and it is both easy and dee-licious!

3   The party was at the Allotments and it rained all evening but we had a lovely time. The barbecue was kept dry with big umbrellas and everyone had fun!  The staff at the Lost Gardens of Heligan staff had made Sue  a birthday cake in the shape of the Heligan Giant that she and Pete sculpted.

2    I walked down to the local allotments this afternoon to find my neighbour enjoying a cup of tea with other alottmenteers.  All the following photos were taken around the plots.
