I've got my first baking gig !
Quite excited, I've just got my first baking gig!
It's a school fête actually, but the deal is you pay £10 for a stall and get to keep the money that you make.
I will keep it quite simple, Muffins, CupCakes and Scones and then limit to three types of each. I do need to think about the quantities though!
Better start thinking about it, the event is the afternoon of 2nd July. My sister has kindly offered to pick me up as I still don't have car. I could have got my goodies via the motorbike but I suspect that I would have looked like something from Wallace and Grommet
Today I will be mostly trying out Apple and Cinnamon muffins!
Any ideas for cup cakes ?

Snail
I'm plagued with Snails, not normal snails but fuck-off huge snails and they are eating my new 'erb garden.
At first sight I was charitable and gently lifted them out of the container and placed them in another part of the garden where they could munch on the weeds and other vegetation till their hearts content.

No..... That's not good enough for these greedy bastards, they much prefer the Hilarys sweet lemon mint, French golden Oregano and other tasty occupants of my bed of gastronomic delights. They appear also to be quite partial to my Sufina (miracle plant of the 90's) too.
Be warned you slugs with a mortgage. I am on your case. Through neccessity I have taken to getting up in the middle of the night. Armed with a torch I track them down. I'm beyond gently repositioning them. They are now flicked from my garden trowel onto the hard car park with a great deal of force.... They can then cook in the summer sun (if it ever comes back) or make make tasty morsels for numerous birds in the neighourhood.

Get a penchant for dot leaves and nettles you slimy grubs or you are history............
An ironic footnote -They also like Garlic......

Resiliant little buggers
Only 10 days after the massacre of their young the parents have dusted themselves down, built a new nest (from my new hanging basket I have to say) and populated it with yet more pastel blue cadburys mini eggs. I'm not sure how many but I have had a surupticious pike and can see at least two. Lets hope they have better luck this time around. Thankfully, they have had the sense to pick a less accessible location in the Leylandi hedge.
I shall be keeping an eye on Charlie this time. I would be very dissapointed if his recent murderous activity is repeated and he turns out to be a serial killer.
