May and I dusted off my baking books to find some unusual recipes....
My sister in law has asked me to bake one or two of the tiers of her wedding cake in October and the Cake girls (the others who will be doing other tiers) and I had a get together to have a cake tasting session.....
She wanted different citrus flavours.......
Lemon and thyme
So over a few cups of tea (and a few bubbles!)
decisions were made....
We did have fun....I actually got a bit fed up of cake by the end of the day!
Other things that have happened in May......
We made some soft clay cats in class 3....
We have spent many hours in the garden getting the veg and soft fruit beds ready.
We went for a walk to see the bluebells in Rough Hey woods across the valley.
I was very excited to see lots of flowers on my wisteria.
We went to the Historic Festival at Donnington
Then on another evening we went to The Viaduct Theatre at Dean Clough, Halifax to see a Northern Broadsides Production of Much Ado About Nothing.
I had a trip to the garden centre with my mum...
and tried not to buy any more plants for our own garden!
Daisy got a new toy....a feather on a wand....she guards it and won't let the others play with it!
Then we went to the theatre.....again!
This time to see The Mousetrap at The Lowry theatre in Manchester.
but most of May does seem to have been spent in the garden....

It is the last day of May tomorrow....I will be back soon.
