Nasturtiums, Calianthus and Cake

Steady rain all day so these photos are from indoors and taken on a long zoom. The Nasturtiums have crept over the wall from next door and are a very welcome splash of colour in a dark corner.

I do love how drips collect on stems and flowers.

It will be our Annual Concert tomorrow evening with a visiting choir with whom we will do a workshop, then share a buffet supper before the doors are opened to our audience. My contribution to the buffet is a delicious dessert, Tunisian Almond and Orange CakeĀ . You can find the recipe here

Creativity, Yellowness and Zest

I pass these embroideries on my way to singing each Thursday. They sum me up quite well!

Later in the day I passed this triangle of loveliness, heaps of little golden daffodils.

I’m going to two shared lunch events in the next two days so this afternoon I have made two delicious cakes, Tunisian Almond and Orange Cake with the addition of Star Anise in the glazing syrup. I love the glowing colours of the citrus zest.

World Food Night, Spring Posy and Flowers

1 Ā  It was World Food Night last Saturday but we were busy so we have hosted our charity night tonight. Everyone has brought a dish to share and is paying for the privilege as we raise money for asylum seekers and refugees.
