Time for tea...and frangipane treats

Frangipane's are my guilty pleasure at the moment, the best one I have found in Bath is from "the Loft"...the ultimate in afternoon tea -I have been with my friends twice this week... Today I am at home and been getting tips from my cousin Steve the Baker about cooking them, he says to make sure the oven isn't too hot, and you can pretty much throw all ingredients in the mixer....

Dig in..

I have been meaning to write this post for a while now, but with the English winter and me not finding the time to get out there and start pruning - I have started Veg plotting now the spring is comeing... With the over grown beer hops,brambles and other rubbish I am planning to grow fruit and vegetables..

Firstly I need to rotovate it, and that means dig all the soil and get the worms churning it up, Tom will need to bring me back a sack of Cow manure from the farm and that will give the soil lots of richness...
