Autumns in the air......

It seems an awful long time since I did a blog post, even hubby commented on the fact that it's about time I did one, so here I am. I'm sitting in waiting for the postman, don't you just hate waiting for a parcel, I bet that I've waited in all day and it either doesn't turn up, or it'll turn up at stoopid o clock, or the door will knock just I decide to go to the loo. AARRRGGGG.

I've decided this week that autumns definitely upon us, i can feel that chill in the air, the leaves have just started to change colour, the blackberries are ready for picking, in fact they seem very early this year, or is that just my imagination? The elderberries were gone before i had time to blink, so unfortunately no pontack making for me this year :o(.

I haven't done much in the way of baking and crafting for ages, I think that's a seasonal thing with me too. But this week I felt the urge, so yesterday I made a lovely Beef and Ale stew with herby dumplings which was delicious, if i do say so myself :o). And today I made a batch of Iced buns yummmy, hubby will be pleased when he gets home from work this evening. I'm itching to have a go at making a kentish cobnut cake after seeing the hairy bikers make it on the beeb yesterday, it looks lush. They served it with an apple compote and whipped cream :o).

I have been drooling over the new CK catalogue of late too. I purchased the folk flowers messenger bag a few weeks ago which I love, and I've got my eye on the matching umbrella and purse, as well as other numerous items, like you do :o). Its my birthday next week, so you never know what the birthday fairy may bring. ;o)

I'm off to clean the kitchen floor now :o(, then i may lose myself in a book for a bit, before going to get my hair highlighted later.

OOOHHH I almost forgot........ A big thank you to Suzie from itch2stitch for this pretty little award, it's so cute I love it.

Have a great afternoon folks
