I still haven't got into a proper routine which includes blogging and the next month isn't looking much better ;o). I thought I might be caught up this week but it doesn't look likely. I have cakes to bake today ready for tea and cakes here tomorrow, the VAT paperwork to gather up and get to the Accountant and a quilt to make. On top of that, Emily goes on half term at the end of this week so we'll be busy next week and a week after she goes back, my sister Norma arrives from South Africa to stay with us for 4 weeks :o) We're so excited that she's coming over and can't wait for her to get here.

In the meantime, a few more photos.

Our roses have bloomed in the last week :o) These yellow ones are my favourite and the scent from them is fantastic - I wish we had smellovision
Our quiet Sunday afternoon, the weather was beautiful and Jon and I sat out for a good part of the day. We have to make the most of any decent weather!
And finally, Aldi opened a store in East Grinstead on Thursday last week. Mum, Dad and I popped in after I'd taken them to Homebase for some compost. While wandering around the shop I spotted some Sangria - I don't actually drink normally but I do enjoy Sangria and decided to buy a bottle to try. On Saturday afternoon my parents came round for a braai (bbq) and we opened the Sangria :) It was really nice so, yesterday, I went back to buy some more to put aside. There were only 3 bottles left - so I bought them all ;o). I look forward to sharing a glass (or two) out on the patio with Norma while she is here..
I have now started my baking - red velvet cupcakes made and lemon drizzle traybake made. Just the carrot cake still to do.
