Today I made a plum tarte tatin. It was buttery and sugary and plummy. I did loads of work in the garden and so did Husb and I thought we deserved this. It’s lush! I’m preparing the ground under the black membrane for some French Beans.

#Caturday – Whose Bed?
Yeah. Okay. It’s YOUR bed. Anything for an easy life. What do I know? I’m just a trained monkey! In case you’re interested, the wallpaper is Laura Ashley and the blanket by Melin Tregwynt. And I got them both in a sale …. which makes me happy 😀 And the cat is Sparta Puss.

Today I Made A Cake….
A classic jam and buttercream sponge. With homemade bramble jelly (foraged locally) and real buttercream. The sponge has a hint of vanilla because I embed vanilla pods into my caster sugar jar. It will be going to Husb’s Life Drawing group tomorrow.

It’s #Caturday Saturday and here are some very quick sketches I did a while back of a cat mostly moving, which is rare! I drew speedily to try and capture the cats in action rather than details.
