Here is my rhubarb crop! I cut it as new stems seem to want to grow. It's not much but I only planted it this year. I made a crumble and we ate it with ice cream and it was delicious.
As it was a bank holiday I though we'd treat ourselves to 'tea'. The cream was half price in the Co-op, the jam was on offer and I made the scones, which did not turn out as well as they normally do........I didn't get the oven hot enough before I put them in.
It was all finished off with a chocolate cake. It's half term and I'm expecting visitors and they'll be well treated when they get here. I never buy cake and I don't like 'shop cake' which always seems so dry and full of chemicals. Baking is truly one of life's most wonderful pleasures, so quick and the rewards and wonderful.
It's been a quiet bank holiday. We've gardened and managed to make a dent in the weeding and we've caught up on the housework. Mostly we've done nothing........sat on the deck.............watched the clouds.............drunk tea............eaten chocolate cake...........it's not a bad life.
