21yrs ago I was still childless!

Until 9.54pm on June 17th 1994 when #1 aka the uni one was born. That's tomorrow! It seems like yesterday.

This week has been non stop with work and visiting. It's day 7 for Ma in Law and after a really good start. There's been a few uppy downy days but hopefully she'll be home within the next few days.

I've not gone tonight as I've been making a requested chocolate fudge cake for the birthday girl. I've used a brand new tin that's been in the cupboard for ages! I erm 'caramelised' it a bit! I had to cover it with foil to save it whilst the inside cooked!

Before...

During.....

And after.....

Much ganaching will take place shortly! I will take a photo of it slathered in chocolatey cream tomorrow.

Here's the knitting so far...

As you can see the lace is s l o w to g r o w!!! But I love to knit it.

I love the blues in this one. It's so soft too!

I think I've cracked the pattern!

Now for some more lovely purples from my garden...

I forgot totally that I'd planted these anemones last Autumn. They are just stunning! Please ignore the dandelions in the background.I've not weeded in forever.

My Rhapsody in Blue Rose has been neglected of late but it clearly bears no grudges because it's putting on a massive show now and it's the ONLY flower I've EVER EVER EVER loved the scent of. It's beautiful. I've witnessed people walking by, stop to admire it and sniff it!!!

Last but not least two sweet little cornflowers which were from a free packet of seeds in a box of cornflakes I think!
