I have always been fascinated by the sparkle in a raindrop- such beauty and promise. Here are a few things that have been happening in my world over the last week.
1. Raindrops on my wet walk round the streets of my hometown.
2. Coffee and cakes with my Mum and the kiddos.
3. In print, in my favourite paper - find my article here in Saturday's Guardian Family section.
4. At last I found some Empire Checkmate, isn't it beautiful?
YOU ARE IN THE GUARDIAN!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, that raindrop picture is spectacular . :)
Thanks Lisa marie- I love a raindrop- just as well really! Jo xx
DeletePaying a return visit and have found lots to like.
ReplyDeleteI don't often buy the Saturday Guardian (or any other Guardian for that matter!) but when I do I always turn to this column, not just for the recipes, but for the stories that come with them. Your mum sounds lovely.
Oh thanks for visiting. Lovely of you to do that. Nice to virtually meet you so to speak! See you again soon I hope Jo xx
DeleteHow amazing to be in the Guardian! I too love reading that column in the family section, the stories are always so lovely, and yours is no different!
ReplyDeleteI'm also loving your girl's full frontal attack on that cupcake - that's the way to do it!x
Thanks Helen, its one of my fave bits as well. Family recipes are just my favourite thing. I love recipes with the stories told with them, Jo xx
DeleteWoo hoo, you're in the Guardian, my favourite paper!! How cool is that. The family section is the first bit I go to on a Saturday, in fact that and the Guide are probably the only bits I get actually round to reading... My mum often used to make a pastry base pizza when we were small, not unlike your scone pizza.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving that tea cup, it's a beauty, but loving even more your daughter's nose dive approach to cake!

Thanks Gillian, needless to say the icing was gone in minutes! I was really chuffed to be in that section, the recipes bit is my fave, Jo xx
DeleteWow ... printed in the Guardian ... how wonderful ... love your new cups and your little ones joy at their goodies ... you made me smile with your raindrop picture ... living in the north like we do, means we have to find beauty in the rain ... Bee xx
ReplyDeleteYes Bee just as well we love raindrops. I always think they sparkle and the smell after rain is very evocative, no? Jo xx
DeleteYou are so right Jo ... Bee xx
DeleteWell done, I used to LOVE getting the Saturday Guardian and reading it over breakfast. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Col, there is something about a Saturday paper, its better tghan the sundays in a way. The start of the week never being my favourite! Jo x
DeleteHow exciting to be in the Guardian, well done. I love that Empire Checkmate pattern, I have yet to find some! Amazing raindrop picture too. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Caroline, I was chuffed to get the china. Its really tiny wee cups, very cute. Thanks for visiting and commenting, Jo xx
DeleteAaaah no way!! I read that recipe but somehow failed to spot your name at the bottom!! I thought it looked yummy though, and I loved the sound of coming home from school to a proper cooked lunch! Love Checkmate too, one of my all time favourite china patterns. xx
ReplyDeleteGood grief, congratulations. I think I could die happy if I was in the family section of the Guardian! Also, the raindrop picture is really special.
