31st January 2010

What can I say about January , it started with snow and is leaving us with snow, and I absolutely loved it , so pretty.



There have been happy times and sad times .



There has been lots of cooking which is going to continue along with Simones Friday Cake Bake. The Rachel Allen cookbook is still with me and has been renewed at the library, I did tell them they weren't getting it back !! I found her website too, go check out the recipes . I'd love to here if you make anything and then you can give me some pointers , can't you ?



There has been some knitting although the things I showed you here, still look exactly the same .



This gorgeous pussy willow is all that is left from the bouquet I recieved .

I'd also like to thank everyone for staying with me and for all the advice and hints and tips given over the past 31 days, you are all stars.

So now I'm saying bye bye to January -- see you again next year.

Our snow has all gone but it is still bitter cold. My parents live in South Shields and they had 5 inches of snow on Friday night. The weather is doing strange things!

The pussy willows are just lovely. They always have me thinking that Spring can't be to far away. Looking forward to your February blogging!

Love the pussy willow stems.

I've also got the Rachel Allen "Bake" book. I use her basic cookie recipe all the time - they're so quick & yummy though I prefer biscuits to cookies so I just bake them longer. I've also tried her sponge cakes which were fine too. Will try one of her savoury recipes next I think.

Yipee! You got snow again! And where did January go??? Can't say I'm sorry to see it gone, but it sure seemed to fly by!
