At the weekend Mr W suggested that maybe we should cut down the bush at the bottom of the garden as it had been somewhat squashed by the winter snow and was rather unruly. 'That's an idea', I said and lo and behold when I looked in the garden this afternoon it appears that he's taken me at my word and all that's left now is a stump of wood!

For Christmas my in-laws bought me a tiered cake stand so I thought it would be nice to use it to serve pudding when Mr W's mum comes over at the weekend and a couple of weeks ago I had the bright idea to make some profiteroles. Thus this evening I have rapidly been learning to make choux pastry in order to make the buns to be filled with cream and smothered in chocolate tomorrow...
