May Time

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.

    May is such a wonderful month outdoors so many things bursting into life and the colours so vibrant.
    I keep meaning to have a trip to the Lowry - my mum would have loved the Mousetrap she is an Agatha Christie fan.

    May is my favourite month, and I am sorry to say goodbye to it for yet another year.
    Those soft clay cats are really characterful and two of them are very skittish looking - the children did well.

    It looks as if your cats have enjoyed you working in the garden. The clay cats are lovely too, I bet it was great fun making them:)

    You could always ask me to come and sample your cakes, as long as it’s not citrus or chocolate. I’m very good at cake testing. I have a degree in it you know
    As for the rest of what you’ve been upto in May, well it’s been delightful to see and read about and even though I’m not in there (heehee).be a part of
