4. Food Glorious Food

I carved up the Halloween pumpkin and shared half with Mummie so she can make the traditional family recipe pumpkin pie. I shall make one too later in the week, but this quarter will be soup, with the addition of carrots and onions. Just the thing for these chillier Autumn days!

 

 

 

Just needs a swirl of crème fraiche  and we are ready to go.

3. Light

Happy Diwali! May light make your life magical, like Rama and Sita's adventure from darkness and evil into light and happiness.

2: Something you made

I found this bracelet in a charity shop in Bournemouth for just £1. I shall take it to pieces and make lots of smaller things.

 



These will be earrings

Bagtags and kilt pin brooches 

And for Christmas gifts, thanks to Best Christmas Special magazine, Carrot and Date chutney 



Blog every day in November - 1.Introductions

I have taken up Elizabeth's challenge to blog every day this month! There is a daily topic suggested, which gives me the test of blogging about different things from usual. I shall enjoy the experience!
For new readers: I have been blogging for three years, and would like to build in more posts, so this is a really good opportunity to be blogging more.

Had a lovely day with Mummie in Bournemouth yesterday, and saw this to mark Halloween in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea on the way.

Not too late to join in: sign up at http://www.rosalilium.com and take the challenge too!

Woooooooooooooooh

Happy Halloween!

I have taken up Elizabeth's challenge over at Rosalilium ( http://www.rosalilium.com/ ) to blog every day in November, so watch this space!

Thinking Pink!

We had a Pink day at school yesterday to raise money for Breast Cancer Research - almost £1000 from pupils and teachers, so a great effort. My Form did themselves, and me, proud with their pinkness!

Well done 7F for truly entering into the spirit of the day!

Conserving the summer

I was busy jamming and chutney-ing this weekend, some for us, some for Christmas gifts and some for our school Christmas Fayre.
